OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Hi,
as I said over at the SD forum, very nice. The transfers really add to the great paint job. Might get some of the 3rd Infantry one for my brits.
Good luck with the game and look out for the MG-42s.

They DID look nice (past tense) but the DIED just as easily as crappy painted figures
It was a close game and without MG42s but 4 LMGs were very useful

Thats a bit worrying
The battle was lost but the war will be won! We will fight them on the beaches.....
Sounds like you're going in the wrong direction

That second picture (of the twa yanks with the bazooka) needs a sig line. It has to be "You're gonna get me killed Lieutenant!"
OK no prizes for guessing where I got it from.

Hi,
just curious. Did you use the point values for the game? Han't used it yet and I wondered what kind of match up it would give you.

Actually we didn't.
David used roughly the equivalent to an Airborne Platoon with some HMG and mortar support.
I used a full German Grenadier Platoon with an 8cm mortar but no HMG support,
The Tigers were just for show!!!!
The game lasted about 90 minutes. Casualties were heavy and in the end the Germans just managed to tip it. Opening fire in the first round was a good tactic! David was manoeuvring (the tactician in him told him to do that). I just opened up with everything straight away
