Operation Battleaxe - Minor Update

I did not get a chance to get in a game last night as I was too tired. But I did get to purchase a set of beads for aircraft identification. I was able to set up aircraft for the next scenario with the ID beads. These were in a large bag for a whopping $2.00 at Walmart's craft section. The beads fit perfectly on the post for the bases. I figure that I will limit it to up to 4 aircraft per card (I have been using 2 per section card move/fire). The pack came with a number of colors that enabled me to make sure I have penty of options.

I also managed to identify a pack of aircraft that was in the drawer. Apparently, this is a pack of 4 Hs 126 observation aircraft. This will be a great addition to my Germans. I will need to glue the landing gear on but these should not be difficult to paint up for the desert.

I am pretty happy with the miniatures that I have. I have plenty of extras that I can use for other theaters. But that is a future project. I definitely want to do an eastern Front campaign at some point. I have some reference books already but will wait until I have painted up all of my Western Desert items first. I have a few items on deck for painting (Ba65s in particular). I do want to purchase some Ro37s for the Italians as well and some Lysanders for the British. But progress is being made.

The cards are set up for the next game. I have printed the aircraft record sheets. I am ready.
