FoF game and the real deal!

Got time for a solo session of Force on Force yesterday, no AAR here, but a picture at least. :) I had to try the new houses.. 

The scenario was quite simple, the US started in the big house with a balcony, and had to get to the two stashes of chocolate bars, one north, and one by the truck, and then back to load it to the M113 so it can drive deliver chocolate to all the off board rockstars who have the munchies, all the while the insurgents feel the surge as well and won't give up the candy without a fight! Who put the chocolate there? It's still a mystery...

I had way to few insurgents, it was almost a walk in the park for the US. Lesson learned the easy way!

Now to something different, some weeks ago I went outside to get some groceries, and was surprised to meet a marching formation of karoliner, and quite a few modern military vehicles on the town square, back home to get the camera, and got some nice pictures, sadly the marching soldiers had went off, but here are some other nice pics:

Middle eastern building update

I have been playing a few solo games of Force on Force to get a grip around the rules (which are awesome, and best solo rules I've tried yet!). Then I figured that while my flexible design of tiles still is a bit stiff if I want more or less space between buildings, and I would need a few more smaller buildings too. Said and done, more smaller buildings and the other ripped from the base:

I found a nice piece of sand colored cloth from a textile shop to use instead of the tiles.
Another thing, today I heard the sound of horses outside, and behold, Smålands Husar regiment was riding just outside my window!

I't is a nice thing to live in a small town with military history and not to mention some more modern stuff too, I ran into one of these the other day when taking a stroll in the forest. Those beasts are huge!

British Commandos

FINALLY! I never seem to get any posts here, but I have been fiddling with a bit of everything, including trying to learn to play Force on Force, including some new buildings but more of that later.
Yesterday at work(!)* I finished these boys, and today I based them, they are platoon 20 minis.

The pictures went somewhat color-crazy, but the reality is somewhere between the photos. Klick to see the bigger version:

*I got one of those jobs this summer with sometimes little to do, but with the need to stay sharp(e) and frosty.

Panzers!

Just finished some tanks for my 20mm or 1/72 ww2 germans. As I haven't decided which division these guys are from, so I have waited with the numbers and markings.
The Panthers is a Italeri 2 models kit, and the Pz IV are Plastic Soldier Company 3 models kit. All of them a quick build and nice model to paint.
I added some of PSC's infantry to show the tanks size, klick to enlarge the pictures.

Ze Germans!

I got some Plastic Soldier Company germans in 1/72 scale, and here some of them are painted, I have'nt decided about the bases edge as I thought about color coding different units. Hope you like them, I made a variant of the Oakleaf ss-camo, and I think it turned out quite nice. The medic is a favourite as he stand out in a way that is'nt too obvious. (wash and dirt on the white made sense)

Sunshine on my panzers!

It's too good weather to stay indoors fiddling with plastic today, so I took it outside:

I got my hussars and 20mm germans this monday, yesterday I assembled some infantry and today I wanted to see how the tanks looks like in person. It is wonderful sitting in the sun while gluing again! I got a little stuffed by all the shakos so I'll assemble and paint the hussars after a short vacation to a war torn france.

More men to the front!

The gent's at the gaming club in my old town are talking more about getting a big game on the table, and that is quite the inspiration to brush up a few more of 'the scum of the earth' aka the infantry of the greatest army of the world!
Also, enter the new officer, it's really just a drummer boy's body with the drum thingie filed off, but makes a nice litte excuse of a murdering officer in the shape of a spoiled brat.

The sergeant again pondered a quick stab to save his comadres from yet another foolish charge.
