We have just learned that the ship carrying the stock of Kampfgruppe Müller for the US office has been delayed at sea, so the army deal will be not be available until 16 July. We apologise to our American customers for the delay.
We've been advised that the shipment containing Kampfgruppe Müller will be the only one affected, so the Leopard book and West German paints will be available this weekend, and the rest of the Leopard models and gaming items will be released on schedule.
Note: direct order pre-orders through the online store will not be charged until the products are shipped to you.

Haven't got an ops force to go against my yanks yet, at this rate the soviets will be that last force I get around to building. Damn you battlefront. So many models not enough funds or time.

Taken a look at the German range and there seems the ton of cool kits out, many more so that for the yanks, question is do I start these or wait for the Brits to roll out. I mean we are bound to have harriers right!!
Does anyone know of any useful reference material for camo schemes for the Germans?
Chiefly this is due to my own preference of not painting yet more infantry in olive drab (having done that a couple of times for WW2 15mm).
Although understand that this is the correct pattern:
Spoiler:
Have read about flecktarn (which is like a kind of super-detailed pea dot camo, and I think probably difficult to pull off at that scale) - this was introduced too late I believe for TY, but if we're dealing with a 'cold war gone hot' scenario I don't think its breaking the setting to include it.

Yes I was torn on that too, although the Leopards are too good to miss. I'm probably going to sub in Phantoms for the Tornadoes for the Germans (as the plane is one of my favourites, many would have had a similar ground attack role, and gives me an excuse to make a plastic kit)
Likely to get a box of tanks, just because they are Leopards, and all Leopards are cute, unlikely to get more though, have Soviets to a level but don't play this often enough to go mad, nor do I have the time to really do them justice.

I'd say go for it I'm sure people won't mind. I've made my Abrams as m1a1s because I prefer the later Abrams. No reason why you can't do that for the camo too. They weren't about in 85 but who knows how far this game is going to stretch time wise.
If anyone is not aware there is quite a good selection of articles on BoW this week, painting guides, and a battle report featuring the new Germans (although quite small scale).
