Picture Day

Since the sun was out today, I decided to take some pictures during my lunch hour. I recently completed a SS HMG platoon and did some final labeling to my stands (you'll see them in the photos) that needed to have them done.

I took the idea of labeling the stands from a friend of mine. While it may not be the neatest or cutting edge system out there, it does make playing the game with them a lot easier since I don't have to remember any color codes, move the stand to see what they are, etc.

Here are some pictures from the tournament I went to where I placed 2nd. I'll comment on the pictures where I was present for them, but otherwise I'll let them speak for themselves.

Tournament and some Brummbars

I entered a local tournament this past weekend at a local gaming store, and I wasn't aware there was prize support. Well the first game I got my but t handed to me courtesy to 2 tigers and 2 panthers against my Panzer IV H's and pumas. I bounced every shot I fired at them, and just couldn't - as Admiral Ackbar would say - "repel firepower of that magnitude".

It's a trap!

Ernst Barkmann's Panther Ausf. A

Wanting to get more warriors for my army, I decided to pick up Barkmann's Panther Ausf. A tank. While I'm not a huge fan of zimmerit, this tank has it on it, and was actually less defined than I originally thought. Now some of you that know me are asking why I would get another Late War warrior when all you do is play Mid War. Well, believe it or not, Barkmann had a long career in the German Army. Based on this, I decided I needed to have him in my arsenal so I could pull him out whenever the need arises.
