Luke and I got together for a Flames of War game to test out my new Irish Guards list from the new Market-Garden books. Luke's has really taken a liking to the Panthers, so he made up a Wiking list. We decided to just run a simple Free-For-All …
The Market Garden books have been out for a while now and I am still struggling to put together a new version my old Guards Armored list. The increase in points cost that came along with AT 15 for the 17 pdr guns has really thrown me for a loop. Wi…
Since we have been without spray paint from Battlefront for over a year, I have started to search for some alternative colors for use with my Flames of War armies. With my considerable stockpiles running low, I spied out Krylon Woodland Light Green a…
I picked up a couple of the 29th Infantry Division Assault Company box sets, knowing that I had to do the 29th sometime, right? Well, that time is now. We will look at the first platoon I tried and see how I did.
Editor's Note: Real men work o…
We recently got in the new Warriors of Market Garden (GE897) blister in for review. Since I am Mr. Arnhem, I got the opportunity to take a look. The pack contains 2 small bases for Knaust and Euling, plus a 251 half track and a large base for the S…
As part of this year's Arnhem game at Cold Wars, I wanted to get some real reinforced trucks for the table. I had previously purchased some Game Models trucks and thought they would be a great candidate for a conversion. I certainly stole this …

Guess what? I got another bundle of deals at the Flea Market while we were at Cold Wars! This time, I picked up the IS-2 Guards Heavy Tank Company. Soviet tanks are always popular, and I pick up bargains whenever I can. I think this box set was…

Ok, WWPD Community — it is time to show us all how pumped you are for this wonderful charity event! The Dudes at News from the Front would like to …
Eric and I decided to get in a little weekend Flames of War. We rolled up Fighting Withdrawal, so Eric's tanks got to attach my Infantry.
I wanted to continue our theme of lighter terrain with more open site lines, but Eric moved around and a…
We got in a really cool looking 15mm Quonset Hut from CorSec Engineering for review. These were seen all over the place in World War II, and is a key piece of terrain for an Allied airfield or other semi-permanent installation.

As time has worn on, I am slowly going back and replacing some of the items in my British Flames of War army. There are many reasons for this: poor paint jobs, inconsistent look and feel across the army, new releases from manufacturers, etc. In t…
I picked up a Bergepanther for Flames of War to go with the Panthers I have assembled — see here and here. You really cannot beat paying 15 points for a FA 10 MG platform that can also tow you out of a jam!

I got around to more Early War stuff for Flames of War. This time, I pulled the Panzerbefehlswagens and Panzer Is out of the box. I need these guys for the list, so I did up two platoons worth and the HQ.
See, I numbered my Panzer IIs as the firs…
I picked up some more tanks for my British Late War Flames of War army recently — I got an old BBX08 Armoured Platoon (that link is to the new one). This is a very old box set, but a good one!
I am especially excited to get some AT 15 assets on th…

Just a quick update to show some Plastic Soldier Company Panzer IV F2s I painted up for some prize support. These could be yours!
There will be a 1500 point Mid-War Flames of War tournament at the Foundry in Huntsville Alabama on February 13th, 2013…
I just got my latest batch of items painted from CGR and wanted to show them off. In my quest to update the painting of my American forces I have been sending items off to them, and I recently sent the following to be painted:
8x M-10 Tank Destr…
The Market Garden compilation is a great combination of many books and PDFs that have been floating around for three plus years. It is great to have everything together in one compilation that takes into account the re-working of points and attribute…
Steven recently got the Devil's Charge: SS-Kampfgruppe Peiper for review and gave me the Panzer IV Js to take a look at. I was excited to add the "German Sherman" to my collection — who can believe that these are my first Panzer IV mod…
We got our hands on the new Small Pine Woods (Winter) recently, and we thought this would fit right in with my winter board that Luke likes so much. Let's take a look!

In Part 5, I completely dodged actually getting a list together for my Flames of War project for Early War. Well, I finally got around to getting the list set, so here we go!

It has been a long time since I took a look at a new counter game, so it was time to get back to my roots! Lebanon '82: Operation Peace for Galilee is one of the Folio Game Series from Decision Games. This game is along the lines of the many cl…
Ok, so I lied. In Part 4, I said that I would get a list together next. Well, I didn't. I was bored, so I broke in to the Light Panzer Company box and immediately grabbed 5 of the Pz IICs (early) from the box. I have a ton of these to paint…
Welcome to Part IV of my adventures in Early War Flames of War! I knocked some things out over the Thanksgiving holiday – I guess I need to make a list soon, eh? You can see the rest of the series here:
