Thanks for your replies, very constructive indeed!
I will make some adjustments before entering it to a contest.
Cheers!!!
December in the Ardennes is very (very) cold. In 1944, when Peiper came flying through, there was also a great deal of snow on the ground.
Hey Pablo
Nice eye on getting the figures lower halves muddied! I do three of them, but to me the bloke with the headwound seems out of place to me... Also something else to consider might be adding a few long grasses behind the sign to about half its height, to add to the backdrop the sign is creating?Quoted TextDecember in the Ardennes is very (very) cold.

Hey DJ. If I recall correctly, the snows actually didn't fall until around Christmas, so the initial pushes from Peiper and Co. would have been in the days prior (from the opening of the Offensive on the 16th) where it was as you say freezing, but not snowing.

Bra-- you may well be right on the snow. I would say that is debatable, but at any rate, it was not the weather where you would wear your sleeves rolled up.

The attack sectors were wide enough that the ground conditions varied - from bare in the valleys to snow-covered in the hills. So it all depends on the exact sector you're modeling. But I agree the marching figures, and the green grass, take away from the notion that this is a winter setting.
