Clear out

Well the clear out continues. I've listed my Flames of War Germans on EBay. I really enjoyed painting these, especially the Fallschirmjaeger, but as ever when you have no opponents at the club playing flames of war, they just sit gathering dust. I've decided to keep the US armoured rifle company for now.

So far listed is the fallschirmjaeger platoon. 3 Tiger tanks, 3 Panthers, 4 Panzer IVs, 3 Panzer III's and 3 Marder II's. Any money raised I'll try and plow back into wargaming but there is no guarantee with prices for everyday goods seemingly in an upward spiral at the moment.

Flames of War Americans

I took the inspiration for this force from one of my favourite War films - Kelly's Heroes. The force is based upon a US armoured rifle platoon. Since then I have added the Sherman's, M10's etc to give the force a bit more balance though it still lacks some artillery units possibly M8 Priests.

Sherman's (mix of 75's and 76's)

M3 Half tracks inc dismounted machine guns

The figures used are predominately Battlefront, though a few Skytrex models are mixed in, especially among the vehicles.

Flames of War Germans

Here is a couple of photos of my small German force. I still have a Fallschirmjaeger mortar platoon and some recoiless guns to be painted up. (another job for the future)

German armour, Tigers, Panthers and PzIV's

Some Marder II's picked up off ebay

Most of these should be used in this Thursdays club game, supporting some of Jon's German armour and panzergrenadiers.

Danish

Finally finished the last 2 battalions for my nephew, will be able to drop them off for him on Saturday. I have also managed to pick up some dragoons by irregular miniatures from ebay along with a load of Polish hussars (useful allies for the saxons). I'll have to get some horses for the dragoons from warrior miniatures and paint them up as Danish, giving my nephew enough for 2 squadrons.

The clubs latest battle fizzled out into a hard fought draw, with the French still struggling to get over the bridges. This coming we week we'll be having a change and playing some flames of War, need to dust down my American armoured infantry. It should see the debut of Toms Brit paratroopers if he manages to get the bases finished. I'll try and post some pics of my FOW units over the weekend.

Flames of War

After going through my camera I came across a number of pictures of some games of 'Flames of War' played at the local club
