Have had delivery of the first T-34s, direct from the factories of the Motherland! Going to start assembling and painting them after current project has been completed (40K terminator squad). Next up on order is a Strelkovy Batalon.

Seen as i've decided to branch into new systems, been seriously thinking about trying this out. Might have to watch a game next time one's being played to see what it's like
RE: Getting Started with FoW WW2 - actungpanzer - 12-08-2012
right I've taken the plunge an ordered a SS Panzer Grenadier Company for starters no half-tracks ordered yet I'll have to get those with the rulebooks on payday by my reckoning I'll need 17 of them to fully mechanize them lucky "Der plastic soldaten kompanie" makes them so cheaply,a pack of panzer 4's or stugs an i'll be a happy (well armed) bunny
Vorwärts!

Lovely cannon fodder for my shermans!! Well actually not won once and last time lost to an early war DAK company !!
I think all my wargaming is Michael Caine based. FOW , I have Vandeleur, My Necromunda gang are named for the Germans in The Eagle has landed, and I have the Michael Caine version of Lt Bromhead from the film Zulu!! Oh and I have Corgi models of the Minis from The Italien job !!
RE: Getting Started with FoW WW2 - actungpanzer - 17-08-2012
im sure a few Pak's,stug,panzerfaust will open up those tommy cookers no problem.
right i've ordered the rule book with a box of 5 StuGs,looking at painting ss camo in Fow is a scary thing though,anybody got any tips on that? i mean i have trouble with that in 1-1 scale
well my panzergrenadier kompanie came today so i've made an army list using the Earth an steel book,feedback is absolutely encouraged as i've never played a game of flames of war nevermind made an armylist!!
2nd SS

full antitank section all in halftracks
platoon 1
3 squads all in halftracks
command panzerfaust team mounted in a sdkfz 251/17 (2cm)

3 squads all in halftracks
panzerfaust smg team
SS heavy platoon
2 machine gun sections in halftracks
SS anti tank gun platoon
3 antitank gun sections 180 on foot
SS assault gun platoon
4 Stugs
that brings me to 1520 points but i have some stuff i'ed like to add being
654 schwre panzer abteillung
3 jagdpanthers
heavy SS anti aircraft platoon
2 Flak 8.8cm guns with extra crew
SS half track recon platoon
1 panzerspah patrol
fielded all togther that would come to 2540 points(!)

Cool, I dare say they will make targets for the churchils I'm planning to get. I'm gonna sell some warhammer 40k, so I can get this game. And I will get turning tide, The allied western front book.
I'm getting British armour
I'm going to have the base force of shermans, a few fireflies and as many churchils as I can get in there. I love churchils
.No army list yet soon to come, when I get the proper western mid late book.
Good luck painting those SS Jim!
RE: Getting Started with FoW WW2 - jaqenhgar - 22-08-2012
sorry can't really give advice on a list as I have yet to play a game as well, but looks fairly reasonable!
RE: Getting Started with FoW WW2 - The Red Bear - 22-08-2012
looking to start a soviet tank army with small infantry platoons.
