  1. Doing up my StuG batterie... Looked about on the net and it seems like

    SPGs fall under artillery so the crew on StuGs would have greenish

    Uniforms with artillery markings? But as things fell apart... Are black outfits ok for my guys?and as far as slapdashed crew fit outs in late war, Is peadot out of the question? ( man does it look cool on panzer crew)

  2. Somebody was saying how it was going to

    Be like infantry aces. I really don't thinkit will be at all, but I would want a book for each era. Not just one, as some are saying .

    Good point about the tank cost, didn't think that far ahead :)

    I think I need a box of Japanese troops!

    I'm guessing they didn't change very much.

    I think we'll see ambush teams. Jumping out of

    Spider holes .

  3. I'm all about the Pacific, I truly think it must be broken up into E/ M / Late.

    but I'm very excited to do some Pacific terrain. I've heard the rumblings

    That it's going to be infantry aces basically, but if the tanks are limited and pointed properly, it can be balanced and historical too.

  4. I like it, a dollar a book was always too good to last long. Had it been ten bucks a book , I'd still have used EARMY.

    This book price reduction makes it all worth it, and of course all the lists and PDFs will make it onto the site eventually, but I did finally get to make some new Nisei U.S lists with it!

  5. Hi !

    Let me just say you picked a great army to build. Brit paras are my

    Go-to carved out of wood tough as nails nut crackers.

    Good for defense and great for attack ( night fight! ) + Gammon bombs!

    So, get yourself the new Market Garden supplement book and

    You'll find some really awesome lists? Why this book over Overlord?

    A couple good points:

    John Frost: this warrior, much like the real guy, was a bad ass.

    The 75mm pack howitzer battery. 250 for 8 guns and for a mere 60 extra points you can buy medium gun support, giving you AT 5 FP +2!!!

    When conducting a repeat bombardment. If you use the double wide template ... It's wonderful. King Tigers don't like being under it.

    Second,

    Late 6 pdr AT guns! These things rock! In an airlanding list you can have three platoons of four. That's 12 AT 11 ROF 3 and 4+ FP, and HE!

    Tanks or soft targets melt quick , esp in ambush!

    Three,

    You can include Glider Pilots... Even more elite than the regular para.

    Aittle pricy but worth it for brutal assaults.

    I hate to say but unless I'm doing a themed thing , I'll take my paras from

    MGARDEN any day.

    Ask anything as I've painted and based a million paras and used them in

    Many tournaments. I also have many bits if you ever need stuff.

    Ok, go get that book! ($30)

    Cheers,

    Mike

  6. Very cool, glad to hear that there is a FoW buzz around here.

    I'm very much a tournament player, back in my native NORCAL FoW circuit...tournies were all the gaming I could fit in.

    But I love playing at shops in friendly games and setting up a mega-battle every now and again.

    My buddy Richard Barnes ( tantexto ) gave me this site link when I asked him about the FoW scene around Portland.

    I really like the CiC trophy idea, very cool!

    At least now I have some time to get painting again and try to open all my recent blisters and get everything undone....done.

    On my way up I stopped at the Tillamook air museum, I got really inspired , they had a Focke wulf, a lightning an Oscar, a Dakota

    Mustang , thunderbolt, Catalina...it was awesome. Any armor museums around?

  7. Hey everyone,

    Mike ( aka Grumpus ) here.

    I just moved up here to Astoria from central California and will be looking to roll some dice soon.

    My main focus is getting a job right now, so after I secure a job, I'll be up for some gaming.

    I have forces for all three eras and have a big collection of terrain.

    I'm foremost an Allied player, but just got most of what I need for a Kampfgruppe Greabner, desperate measures armored company, Otto Carius and friends , and every StuG needed for a batterie ( with a jillion

    Begleit riders to boot ) those are some great sculpts!

    I Have a Desert Rats armoured squadron, a Massive Brit Para army, Indian/ Sikh company, an 8th army company, A ton of late war Brit infantry and Brit Shermans.

    I just made up a beefy Nisei Company , I'm curious to see what changed in the new Italy Comp.

    What gaming stores do the FoW players frequent?

    Ok, just sayin hi and I'll be around to do some gaming later on!

    Cheers,

    Mike
