  1. GG and Battlefront Products - what is going on

    in Flames of War

    Posted

    GG is a slog for me, but it is still, hands down, one of the best gaming stores I've ever been in... period.  

     

    Sorry to see the reduced commitment to FoW, but Angel has to do what's right for her business.  

     

    I managed to take advantage of the sale and clean out the Japanese, Hungarian, and a few other odds and ends...  (plastic Stalins for the win!)

  3. Raiding Aces League Mar-May 2016

    in Flames of War

    Posted

    You may run either the mid war or early war variants of any of the lists. Raiding aces is kind of an Era of its own.

     

    It's not really an "era" on its own.  They're sort of their own type of list, but the point costs for many units in EW and MW are different - so you and your opponent will need to be on the same era for points...  better to just standardize it to EW or MW so people don't have to recalculate their lists from game to game.

  12. Soviet Lend Lease Tank Army

    Tried to do a build log on this, but I was running so far behind it ended up being a brief "in progress" entry and a final version...

     

    At this point I've got most of the vehicles base coated with modulation colors, and now I'm working on getting the decals down so I can go on to the washes and weathering.

    I had to make my own decals - here's one of the foils that lets you turn a "black" decal "white":

    Here's the final product as it came to the tournament.  I apologize the photos are a bit blurry - my light kit is down and I'll be retaking the photos later...

  13. Accurizing Your Panzer IV/70 (A)

    in Flames of War

    Posted

    I'm finally making progress in generating some accurate tracks for the Panzer IV/70 (A) in its most typical configuration with four steel-rimmed roadwheels.  

     

    Starting with the Plastic Panzer IV Ausf H tracks from Battlefront, I've scratch-built a roadwheel that I've been able to cast multiple copies of:

     

    Steel%2Bwheel%2Bcasts.jpg

     

    I cast it as a tube so it would act as its own sprue in the resin and I could just cut it to a custom thickness to match where I've carefully removed the roadwheels from the plastic tracks.

    I plan to use the fenders from the Battlefront Panzer IV Ausf J kit and then turn around and use the spare tracks from the Panzer IV/70 (A) for the Panzer IV Ausf J (as the idler on the Ausf J plastics is dead wrong).

     


     


  17. Flames of War at Enfilade???

    Don't know your rep, so not in a position to laugh.

    But your Inomarochnikiy Tankovy Batalon, and Zeke's US Tank Company were both impressively done.

    Looking forward to your next army.

     

    Generally you shouldn't get too close to my armies on tournament day because there may be a few VOC's still coming off from the dullcoat from the night before...  :biggrin:

  18. INFO - Points Totals For The 2015 - 2016 Tournament Season

    in Flames of War

    Posted

    I don't know if "silliness" is quite the right word, but 1850 points (or even 1700) actually makes a Tiger list almost viable in MW.

     

    Another thing to consider is the higher point values lead to larger armies, which means you generally going to need more time to play a game. The only technical problem I had with our 1945 tournament was that I really needed another 30 minutes on my first two games, I think I had a reasonable shot at winning both of those 5-2 (or at least 5-2 / 4-3), but instead it was a 2-2 and a 1-6.
