Rapid Fire 5th Battalion DCLI Reboot

Rapid Fire 5th Battalion DCLI Reboot

I’ve been thinking about rebooting my very old Rapid Fire project from fifteen or more years ago, a late war British force representing the 5th Battalion Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry. This was originally a 20mm or 1/72nd scale project using Valiant Miniatures and Ready to Roll vehicles, but it fizzled out and the stuff I had painted went to eBay. 

This time round I’ll be using the Plastic Soldier Company 15mm figures and vehicles, some of which I already have, but with the infantry and heavy weapons being a new outlay. I do have some Peter Pig figures I could use but I’m saving those for other things. As part of the project I’ll also be adding some tanks of the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry, which supported the battalion throughout the NW Europe campaign.

The other option will be to build opposing US 29th Infantry Division and Fallschirmjager battalions for the campaign in Brittany. This is a really interesting campaign and I have the Plastic Soldier Company Fallschirmjager figures already, as well as plenty of armour for the Americans. I’ll just need to add the US infantry figures, for which the Flames of War range is the best option, the PSC figures being a bit rubbish. 

This is all a long way off but no harm in planning and preparing the ground for a later time.
