British 8th Army Rifle Platoon

I have finally finished painting another platoon of British Infantry for my 8th Army North Africa forces. I'm also within a gnats whisker of completing an accompanying Heavy Machine Gun Platoon to  provide support, which should be ready to show off by tomorrow. Although the Desert war is often seen as a tank war it was the Infantry Divisions that were the real backbone of the British Eighth Army. This Rifle Platoon comes with seven Rifle/MG teams, a Light Mortar team and an Anti-tank Rifle team.

I'm in two minds what to do next. I have enough British infantry models in hand to consider painting a couple more rifle platoons or possibly even a whole new Infantry Company. Many of the units already painted for the Infantry Tank Company would be interchangeable and would give me much more flexibility in building bespoke forces for specific games. The other option is for me to work on some infantry for my Afrikakorps forces. This needs to be done eventually as I have none completed at the moment, but I do have plenty of models just waiting for a lick of paint. I'm going to give this some serious thought but I want to make my mind up soon so I can get straight on with the next lot of painting while I still have momentum on my side!
