The 8th Army are on standby and can bring two 6 x 4 of desert terrain with them

Will do a 50 point force and drop back from that dependent on what everyone else brings

What about up armoured?

[leopard]

What about up armoured?

Pz-III (5cm, up armoured) - i.e. the Pz-III-N that used to escort the tigers runs to 8pts each, no option I've seen to up armour the 7.5cm version.


Q: Can we run stuff painted grey? Don't have enough stuff in DAK colours.

Also 40 points is really low, the German starter box is 44 IIRC, the cheapest mandatory force I've found for Germans is 30 points (5x Pz-IV-E) but thats just two platoons, you're going to get very quick games at 40 points.

Pity my DAK are not viable Mid War (Infantry is too different to Early War to be a simple swap over, and I don't have enough armour).

Need to see whats going on that weekend for if I'm free on the Saturday, but if grey stuff is allowed will see what I can do and confirm next week

[Baldie]

Grey, will go nice with my Green
I am gonna bring what I have and see what happens, with proxies will have a 100 point force no prob.

Working whilst 3

[leopard]

Unlikely to be able to make this one sadly

[Baldie]

Basic bit of room is ready now awaiting a plasterer.
Mess involved for such a small amount of work is crazy, if moving house I will look for a Longy sized garage and leave house to er indoors to do up.

As it is I am rocking and rolling for a game on Saturday, looking forward to it.
