Skytrex 10% Sale

I've just stumbled across the fact that Skytrex are having a 10% Off Everything Easter Sale running until the 31st March. Only 24 hours left, so get in there quick to purchase some hardware from their Command Decision range for your SCW armies.

I'm going for guns. At around £4.95 (normally £5.50) for a pack of 2 medium/heavy guns or 3 37mm/45mm anti-tank guns, I think this is a good deal.

I have to admit, whilst I do try very hard, I find identifying the differences between most Schneider, Krupp and Skoda field pieces over 75mm in calibre very difficult. The fact that many were produced under licence in countries other than those they originated in, only confuses the matter. However, I'm saved by the simple fact that the majority of guns manufactured in Europe ended up being used in the Spanish Civil War and often served on both sides.

Therefore I have taken the bold step of deciding to choose guns purely on the basis that they have the correct '1930's mid-European arms race' feel to them. Such as the Skytrex 155mm Howitzer below.

CD549 French 155mm Howitzer

Of course, if you game WW1, WW2, Russian Civil War or similar in 15mm as well, you may already be able to use models that are in your collection. Conversely, careful choice of guns now, may allow you to create new armies in these periods later without having to shell out (geddit!), for additional artillery models.

What else can you get from Skytrex just now to maximise this offer?
