opps embarassed about this, but I scrolled up to far and read 3 x Tiger 1E (720pts) , I then spent most of this afternoon on Easyarmy trying to make your army meet the points critera. I then checked the site and saw your post and realised I was being a 'tard.

Good Win however.

LOL sheet happens....I just tried the Hummels in battle wasn't to impressed and for the cost of them I would have thought they would do better. But as always when your opponent needs a 4 or better he rolls a 5. I am sad to report the 2nd Armored Division has pushed back the Lehr Division. Oh well can't win em all...

Some more organized picture of my progress and some whole army group pics...

Did you take those Pics at work? (hence the radio and digital projector?) tut tut lol. I only take my Mini's in when I am duty Weekend, I can paint a fair bit over a duty weekend, just don't get any on your uniform.

Hell I live at work half the year deployed so after hours we can use the conference room here for games and what ever else as long as its open.

The joys of military life...at any rate those Panzer Lehr look great.

I think the biggest impediment to me starting FoW is the painting, as I like striking color schemes(even though I'm at best pretty-okay painter) and a drab real military scheme would wear on me I think. That being said, the massive amount of stuff you've painted up makes it even better.

Congrats on the win. Told ya you'd love those flame throwers. Thier even better aginst infantry. Especially when you want to assault dug in infantry cuz 1 hit automatically pins. Great job. Oh and get used to the one sided victories it happens a lot when youtake Germans lol.

Wow you didn't like the Hummels? What's not to like about a 2+ Fp and a pretty good anti-tank against an average top armor of 1? The odds are almost always in your favor but everyone likes to use differant things and evryone has success with differant lists. The whole army sure looks great though.

Damn fine work! Unfortunately I do not have nearly enough time to paint. However once I get my camera back (currently out of the state). Ill have picks up of my Fallschirmjagers!

Well my time draws near below single digits...gear is packed and soon to the post office.

The army is down to the final pieces....a few rifle and command teams then ...done.

Pics to follow.....

Well me and my buddy have been gaming every night here as the clock winds down. So far it is a 3-2 German margin. We have been going over the missions for the late war tournament for GenCon. I am really looking forward to this one...

Good luck at Gen-con. Be sure to let us know how you do and remember combined arms is the key.

Well here is the results so far from gencon....I placed 2nd in the midwar (I won all 3 games but not so hot on painting). I got 3rd in early war which was better than I thought. And tomorrow with GF support we will have pics as Lehr Division goes for gold!

Also got early copy of hell fire and back...very nice.

Christ!?!?! Not so hot painting? Then my stuff would be down right embarrassing.

Congrats! I agree I have a proffesional painting service and I think your stuff looks great.

Well done, I am pleased that you have done so well. It's fitting as you have given my Lehr force alot of help and inspiration.

Well late war was a blast first oppenent was a tool...not in his army choice but his attitude...

Round 1 fighting withdrawl
lehr vs russian tank horde...

Army played well destroyed one complete platoon plus tankodesantneki. Wiped other platoom out to 1 tank.
came down to 2 rolls...lost pz 4 and 2nd grenadier platoon plus pioneers...put me under half.

5/2 loss

Round 2 no retreat
lehr vs russian tank horde, with air
map helped on this one, river split map with only 2 crossings.
88's ambush destroys one platoon with help from grenadiers.
opponent pushes far crossing with massed tanks and infantry.
88 continues to knock out tanks at range. Pioneers flamers bail a tank. Reserves hold off tanks. 120mm mortars continue you pound tanks and infantry. Comes down to assualts at bridge.

Win 6/1

Round 3 encounter
lehr vs polish tank co.
good placement of units and luck...mortars bail and destroy 2 tanks on flank ...pioneers hold for assault. Enemy tanks move up and are pushed back by 88 guns. Mortars harass tanks. Reserves arrive enemy pushes up. Pz 4's arrive with jagdpanzers, 88 knocked out. 2 rounds of shooting and a stunning turn of events...CiC, 2iC are knocked out 2 tank platoons are crushed...and polish infantry are pinned.

Win 5/2

Was great game a few idiots but otherwise really fun...pics to follow...

Good results, probably need to look at 88mm. They were a fearsome adversary during World War II and cause ridiculous numbers of Tanks and vehicle casualties.

Its not a proper tournament unless you have a few freaks or weirdo's. The ones who annoy me are not the ones with no social skills (although they are many) its the ones who think personal hygiene is something you can Opt out of. It's just disgusting, especially as in the Military we don't stand for poor personal administration. I don't mind scruffy, but I have had to "bite my tongue" at times when playing particularly stinky and offensive individuals. The other players that annoy, are ones who play to ridiculous levels with the rules e.g. beyond the Spirit of the game, Winning is everything to these people and it sucks the spirit of gentlemanly competition right out of me. The Game for the Games sake rather than "I want to win at any cost". Real life isn't a game, thats why we fight to win in war, in gaming I'm not bothered at all.

PICS FROM GENCON

Where are those buildings from?

Seriously who dresses like that? I am guessing she is trying to be a Princess Leia alike? It's funny, because she will have featured in about 1000 Wargamers Wet dreams... "hey baby want to see my 88mm?" Bizarre. (i bet thats your G/F and i'm going to regret posting this!)

Just image search google for 'Cosplay' dude.


You will have your eyes opened...

Actually, I think she had horns on her head. Which means she is some kind of Anime spin-off or something. To each there own...

Great Pics!

Btw, what is this exalt system and what exactly does it do?

OMFG....Just google Images COSPLAY. I have literally cried a pint of tears laughing..I won't hijack this but +1 to you Big P..

well not late war but I am on a role...I Am playing a mid-war tourney in the "Guns of August" in Williamsburg Va. will post some pics.

Congrats on your late war victories. 88s are great and the 19 points for the extra crew are always well worth it when you can afford it. You should dowell in mid-war as that seems to be where the Germans were at thier best. Good luck.

well the guns of August are now silent....I managed to pull of the ultimate victory to take first place. It was domination all around but each map had its own scenario. It was fun but more importantly it was a learning curve. I used my awesome painted grenadiers and some Fockwulfe 190's to smash my way to victory.

round 1
Mid-War Nisei vs Grenadiers

was hit and miss my air and arty kept him at bay some timely assaults and a nice roll of 2 when he needed it kept me in the lead....

win 6/1 (8 domination points)

Strelovky vs Grenadiers

Map had a snow storm on 6 sight reduced to 12" but that happened once or twice. The gist of it was conscripts met Grenadiers....conscripts died.

win 4/3 (12 domination points....yes 12)

British Para's ve Grenadiers

Great game and the reason I play the game ...it was fast and furious and it came down to simple die rolls. Was a lot of infantry on infantry slaughter with assaults and counter assaults but I nearly pulled this one off...

Loss 3/4 (tied at 6 victory points)

even with the loss and the amount of domination points put me ahead....to get the FIRST place win...

great tourney...

I won the IV/70 Jagdpanzer box set....yeah me

Comgrats on another victory! Britsh Para's are tough mid-war. Nice prize too espically for Panzer Lehr.

Wow, Jagdpanzer IV/70 they are nice, and pricey! WOOT. We shouldn't be surprised, the LEHR are like the Grey Knights of FOW. Lavishly equipped, comprised of seasoned veterans, Well led with good Officers and superb Mobility and hitting power, combined with very good support options.

I am going to put up some more pics of my Finished 251's (x10) my Opel Blitz (x5) and my Panzerwerfer 42 (x4). I have done them all whilst I am "Officer Of the Day" during the main Leave period, taking a leaf out of your book!

EDIT I have also succeeded in both Burning and Electrocuting myself on my Day light bulb last week whilst trying to take a Photo on my painting Table. My Ankle gave way (old problem from running in COmbat boots for years), and i fell sideways swiping my DAYLIGHT BULB lamp (which has a temperature somewhere in the 1000 Kelvin range, lol), smashing it whilst it hit me (burning me) shattered (covering me in hot glass) and electrocuted me. Seriously it was like a million to one event, it would have been a hell of a way to punch out of this mortal coil, especially considering the ridiculous risks I have run in the past (like being ridiculous drunk and swimming across rivers etc). I was properly shaken up and the wife has reduced me to painting in Daylight hours.

Nice...that's a dedicated gamer....risking death for hi mini's...well down in Florida and going to try to get a game in here so well see how it goes...will update ASAP
