Winterschlacht-13

This was our first Total War battle for Flames of War at the club and it was a an exciting game.

We started planning the game back in October, to inspire everyone to get ready and paint up their forces.

Due to some illness, the game had to be moved so it actually took place in 2014 instead of 2013 but who cares?

The Forces

We were running 5000 points per side, with the players on each deciding if the wanted to push points from one company to the other.

Assaulters, priests and Totenkopf

Some assault marines and two priests are almost done, they will be needing some blood splatter and the bases then they are ready and I can get on with the next bunch. I have some Death Company in a similar state with not much left to do.

When the Death Company marines are done, I will probably paint some tanks. Could not resist the urge for a german Panzer Company so I will start a MW 3rd SS Totenkopf company for an upcoming escalation campaign taking place around Kursk. It will use the rules for Tank Aces from Blood, Guts and Glory with some modifications. A first draft of the setting/rules can be found here: Google Drive
