Battlegroup: Forward Observer Team and a Motorcycle Dispatch Rider.

Some more painted late war Germans for the Battlegroup game. These are 15mm miniatures from Battlefront.

First we have the Forward Observer Team with a Kubelwagen transport. In Battlegroup a observer is essential when you take on- or off- board Artillery. Not only do you need it to spot (nice thing about artillery in Battlegroup is that you don't need to spot a unit, you can also spot on a building or tree) but also to make a communication check. To get a bombardment you first take appoint on the battlefield the observer can see. Then you make communication or radio check by rolling a D6 to see if you even will get an bombardment.

Next is the Dispatch Rider. In Battlegroup it is normally just 1 motorcycle with driver. Because I had this mini with sidecar I decided to use this one as dispatch rider.
In Battlegroup this mini has a one use only. When you use it then the communication test is passed automatically. The mini is then removed from the battlefield.

Ummmm I really should learn how to take better pictures.

Thanks for looking!
