I've been reinforcing my Germans ahead of our next bash. So the British don't feel left out I've also created them a new CP as well

The damaged buildings are particularly good. I am assuming that as the action of 1918 moved away from the previous 3 1/2 years of pulverised terrain there would be more building around which had sustained less damage.

Thanks, and yes that is correct, after March 1918, when things get a bit more mobile again. Although certain sectors of the front before then could have had buildings in this state, particularly further back where headquarters would have been situated. I am now working towards three sets of HQs, 1914 with tents etc, 1915-18 in bunkers and 1918, with buildings etc. There is a good picture of a HQ in the field around the time of Amiens in the Osprey book, which is basically just some cars parked up by a tree lined avenue.

After a bit of searching I found the pic online I was thinking of, although a bit low res. This is a Canadian Divisional HQ during the Battle of Amiens. Would make an interesting GWSH HQ Stand, I might attempt it at some point...

It is an advanced divisional HQ. The main one would have been back in a chateau or the likes. Brigades also used this approach as well.

Thanks for posting the photo. That should be fairly straightforward to produce using the Baccus HQ figures and some vehicles from Irregular.
