Leopard 2 Preview

As I mentioned in a previous post, I won a box set of the Leopard 2 (TGBX01) from Battlefront during their "Leopard Weekend". Well it arrived today!

DAK Marder III (7.62cm)

After looking at my Marders that I painted several years ago and deciding that their paint job didn't do they justice, I stripped them down and repainted them. Since I've been using my DAK army a lot lately, I wanted to add them to my force (since this specific model was used in North Africa).  The paint scheme needed to match that period, not to mention my current DAK theme, so Desert Yellow was called upon once more.

Team Yankee - Woot!

I never win anything - even if I was the only one entering a contest. The odds are always stacked against me when it comes to contests, which is why I am writing this post. My luck seems to have turned around!

I entered Battlefront's Facebook competition and my name was drawn. How cool is that?

That's my name on the Flames of War homepage!

So what did I win you might be asking? A new box of Team Yankee Leopard's when they come out!

Thank you again Battlefront! Check back when I do an unboxing/review of the set when they arrive.

DAK Pioneer and HMG platoons

Continuing with my DAK army, I've finished the Pioneers and HMG platoons I needed to help round out my army. It seems that every time I try to use my DAK list, my opponents always seem to be running tank lists. To help beef up the survivability of my 15. Panzerkompanie, I decided I needed some pioneers.

Swappable Infantry

I've been asked a few times on Facebook how I've used magnets to create hot-swappable infantry on my bases. Since this seems to be an interesting subject people want to know about I thought I'd come up with a tutorial on why and how I do this.

Steelworks Factory Review

The postman delivered a goodie for me today, the first building of the 2016 Premium Property Subscription - the Steelworks Factory! This is the second housing subscription I've subscribed to through Battlefront, and I have to say that I'm quite pleased with this subscription so far.

With design features like the saw-tooth roof and bare brick walls, this is a totally typical manufacturing plant or warehouse. It will look at home on battlefields for any period from the Industrial Revolution till today.

DAK Kradschützen Platoon

Continuing to add to my DAK army, I've added the DAK Kradschützen!
