phyfor88 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Those look great. My soviets have grown vastly due to lockdown, but not much paint has been applied. Happy that I got them assembled. My Americans and Brits have also creeped larger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up some Americans, too, but holy poop are the turret baskets for the M1's hard to assemble. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEKE Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Looks like there is a scourge of warsaw going on. I just finished collecting 2x Polish tank formations (19x polish T72 & 19x polish T55am2) each formation with their own arty, recon, and AA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEKE Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Good clean models! Nice color shading & highlighting. Good job on blending the decals with the paint job. Liking the blue uniform for the tankers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job on blending the decals with the paint job. Liking the blue uniform for the tankers. Thanks for the compliments! Heh, the uniforms are actually very dark grey with a hint of blue. In a fit of pedantry, actually converted all of my BMP-1's to BMP-1P (thus the missile launcher). stats would be the same in TY, but in a lot of other games the AT-3 on the base model is incredibly inaccurate. The Israelis after the '73 war did a count of leftover wires from launched missiles versus the amount of their tanks that were damaged, and found that the AT-3 had about a .3% hit rate (3 hits out of 1000). And there's your cold war trivia of the week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the Yom Kippur War saw the Israelis facing off against the Syrians and Egyptians (along with "expeditionary forces" from damn near every other Arab state [and the Cubans, because reasons]) and not against the Soviets. The Soviet crews might have been more accurate, given the better training and better maintenance standards... Or at least that was the theory.

The US army figured a solider needed to fire 2 (very expensive) missiles a week to maintain proficiency. And that's why every army in the world developed SACLOS as soon as possible. Gosh, I've missed talking nerd stuff with fellow geeks. Getting my second shot tomorrow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick! Posted July 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 It took me 2 months, but I finished my accompanying infantry. Are folks getting together on Tuesday evenings at Geeks and Games? They appear to have TY/FoW open gaming then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEKE Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Yes, OC Geeks and Games is still gaming on Tuesdays. I believe this month is still finishing FOW D-Day, they will probably switch back to TY come August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phyfor88 Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 WE are playing every Tuesday at Geeks and games. 42 mile drive for me, but I need to okay. Not many people their on Tuesdays store wise so we get the whole store mostly to ourselves. play starts around 6 to 6:30 some are there earlier.
