I hear that one everytime i play.But of course that is to be expected when the player was in the 173rd.(USA)and on three of his deployments had over a 100 kills with his 105 Howitzer and yes he was one of the troopers who was airdropped in to Iraq.Now we are working on building up the paras to have a Glider wing.Lets just say,75mm pack Howitzers in Gliders.Looks like it is starting to get a little rough for my Germans.

Artillery is awesome, suppress the firefight, pin the enemy. Call in the big guns. No more enemy.

Not all that impressive, Panthers and Jagdpanthers were not a challange if flanked.

What a silly thing to say.

Getting on its flank is impressive.

Like to see you try it!

I like to think the fire fly moniker came from the ability of its 17pdr to light up the a$$ of german tanks that otherwise were untouchable.

I am really excited to see the fireflies make it to the PSC line. I can now put together my Irish guards armored company for LW that I've been considering. Between plastic shermans and plastic fireflies I can cut the costs dramatically now across the board.

Was doing the math yesterday and I can create 3 full 4 tank platoons (including 2 optional kit outs with 1 firefly or 2 fireflies) for the same price that it would have cost me just for the 6 firefly models before. That is a pretty significant savings.

I'm not a poor college student anymore, but it is still nice when you can shave $50 off of the price of minis for 1 army to be able to spend it on a different army.

Damn straight Shriker, it's nice to save money because it means you can buy more miniatures!!!
