Painting Update: 15mm Blitzkrieg Germans

I didn't get a lot of projects done in October, because I was working on one big project: A 15mm 1940 German infantry company based for Flames of War, for a client through CGR Painters. I'm rather pleased with how much I painted in five weeks, and how it turned out.

The whole thing: 3 infantry platoons, 2 gun platoons, mortars, and machine guns.

PDX Games Day - September 27

I organized a historical games day at Guardian Games yesterday, and got a pretty decent turnout. Thanks to everyone who attended!

We had some SAGA...

Anglo-Danes repulsing a Viking assault

Some Flames of War (my Russian infantry battalion lost to the Germans)...

Russian infantry watch their armored comrades fall to German anti-tank guns

Some Blitzkrieg Commander II...

German defense of the village of Anatevka from the Red Army

And Ivan (Nordic Weasel Games) demoed Five Men in Normandy for a few folks:

A Soviet patrol mixes it up with a tiny German roadblock

I'm planning on another games day at Guardian on October 11. (Sadly, I'm missing out on Tactical Solutions out in Spokane...)
