Commandos who fought on Crete in May '41 and managed to escape from the island, were sent to Tobruk. There, they carried out raids against enemy positions, one of which was the Twin Pimples raid against the Italian lines.
They were armed with submachine guns and grenades. So I gave submachine guns and a light machine gun to my nine-man Commando unit.
Seven of the miniatures are Warlord Games 8th Army bodies with British & Inter-Allied Commandos heads and US Rangers back packs.
The other two are Artizan Designs figures. The one with the goggles is the unit's NCO.

In other news, when I was in Athens I went down town with two good friends, at the Ouzeri "Lesvos" for a Greek brunch (meatballs, satziki, fried zucchinis, salad, fried potatoes and saganaki). We accompanied it with ouzo "ΦΗΜΗ", which means "FAME".
That's it for today! Stay tuned for more!
