Justjokin Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 Anyone else ever hope that putting an idea down in Ordo might help keep you on track, or at least someday remember your previous "good" ideas? Anyway... The West German Plan (or... "Wait, you mean Panzer doesn't mean "Panther"?") On the left, a youtube video. On the right, the TY HD patterns from the official site. More TY sample tanks... Get the TY WG Camo Patterns here: Team Yankee (team-yankee.com) YouTube video with an interesting take on how to do the brown and black in this camo pattern, starting at about the 90 second point, but the who video is worth your time. The thing that this video did different than others was the use of thinned paints for the black and browns... I'll adjust for some issues I think I see in the video, but I am working up a set of steps that I can reproduce in stages. This is what will eventually be my American + West German force. More soon? #FutureProgress (EDIT: Removed duplicate image, spelling) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted May 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Ok, same guy, West German, Winter. Not sure, probably still going for the summers. Still a nice result from a reasonable set of steps. How To Paint A Marder: Flames of War Painting Tutorial - YouTube 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcaust83 Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 looks pretty good to me! I have yet to do any of camo stuff for 15mm. That's a good guide as well, I like the amount of painting support that's available from that company 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted July 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Who knew this would actually be a useful post for myself. Really it seemed like kind of a mocking, you won't really.... Flakpanzers next! EDIT: The picture broke... Finally company for all my damn 3d printed Leo 2A5's(6...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted July 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 All purchased models above came from Geeks and Games down in Oregon City. I love me some FLGS that sells the game I want to build models for! It's a mission from where I live, but I'm much happier spending money there than some rando web store! They Team Yankee on Tuesdays, I believe, but I have never been down to play.

Brother Glacius Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 I've been thinking of making the WG's my second allied army. Keeping an eye out for deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEKE Posted July 25, 2022 Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 I've been running the West Germans since they came out and I am still enjoying them. The Marder infantry formations are the best, either with marders or with m113s. I still prefer the older Leopard 2, and the Older Marder, fewer points so I can add in more Gepards and Milan missiles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEKE Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 The Leo1s are great for putting into reserves. "I was winning till (my opponents) Leo1s showed up and 5 (of my) tanks died".... so many games ended this way. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justjokin Posted October 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Found this neat little reference to Force Org for W Germany in the 80's. It's for another game, but I mostly still seems to fit. Kind of... Clearly, I have no prior service. https://www.fireandfury.com/orbats/modcwwestgerman.pdf For example, here is 100 Pts of the III Corps 5th Pz Div, Pz Brg 15 'Westerwald', Mixed Panzer Battalion 154, 1st?, 2nd? Kompanies I couldn't find examples of company designations. For those that are in the know, how can I best adjust my abstraction? Division and Brigade: Brigade and Battalion: Battalion and Kompanie: Kompanie and Unit: (Abstraction note: Obviously a company has a few more than 5 tanks...) Any ways, here's the 100 pts list: Oh, and how;s my list? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
