Like I said, it was bought about 25 years ago. :)SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-64011792730729231082014-01-03T21:21:24.840-05:002014-01-03T21:21:24.840-05:00any idea on the size... i was looking at getting o...any idea on the size... i was looking at getting one for my army but didn't get one that was too small...jawabeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152794798966342899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-63663475957608449802014-01-03T21:10:06.100-05:002014-01-03T21:10:06.100-05:00It's an old Chessex case from the 80's tha...It's an old Chessex case from the 80's that I repainted.SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-21520372795142490512014-01-03T15:00:55.058-05:002014-01-03T15:00:55.058-05:00what case are you using there?what case are you using there?jawabeerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152794798966342899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-71463165947017183312012-08-21T09:21:31.597-04:002012-08-21T09:21:31.597-04:00Heh, that was a last minute, night-before addition...Heh, that was a last minute, night-before addition. I still had some textured paint left over from my desert hills project. I even broke up the color a bit by spraying layers of black, red, and yellow underneath until the final combined color matched the bases of the GF9 trees I had.<br /><br />I can't tell you how much nicer it is to carry one small case around in a backpack to a tourney instead of the 2 suitcases, backpack, large display board, and portable table that I had to lug around Adepticon and NOVA last year. I could literally carry my entire army in one hand. :)SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-73702923714605891062012-08-21T09:14:43.666-04:002012-08-21T09:14:43.666-04:00Heh, that's typical for Germans.

Until I start killing them, they look unbeatable.<br /><br />A real elite German armor list would be 4 Tiger Tanks and some AA trucks. :) SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-3228848031024846632012-08-20T23:00:35.637-04:002012-08-20T23:00:35.637-04:00your army looks pretty small/elite compared to the...your army looks pretty small/elite compared to the American rifle army.

Party, I had a ...Heh, it's something at least.<br /><br />Party, I had a list problem, in that they went strict at this tourney and ruled that my AA Half-Tracks didn't have gun shields because the rule isn't listed in the North Africa book. They had allowed (and encouraged) it at the last tourney because the rule was in the updated Forces book for late war. But the TO's didn't want to have to rule on a dozen other potential Mid-War discrepancies with out-of-towners, so they went strict. I'll have to wait for the Mid-War update to eventually get released. Come on Battlefront!<br /><br />Without those gun shields, the Half-Tracks are pretty much useless against anything but aircraft. So in retrospect, I would have been better off dropping the Half Tracks and the extra crew on the 88's to take some Nebels and some transports for the 88's. <br /><br />That would have let me smoke enemy guns in 2 missions and let me move my 88's forward when deploying long-ways. Which would have helped quite a bit in game 2 when some uparmored KVs popped out of ambush just outside of the 88's range.
