Slow (ish) grow league for Flames of War V4

So, after the bootcamp (which I am still heartbroken I was unable to attend), I too jumped on the bandwagon and started to order my new Flames of War gear.

Opening the Hit the Beaches box, I will admit, I was a little disappointed in the lack of the card terrain and decals/transfers, but I have enough decals for both American and German tanks and the terrain was not a massive issue.

Soon, like the German and American tank factories of the 1940’s, my hobby bench would be filled with powerful armour, ready for combat…

Sadly however… Due to the OTT store and their amazing 20% off offer, one or two more small purchases soon followed…

Ok ok… I admit… My slow grow league has jumped to major league with a number of trimming down tasks, but I hold my hands up. I am not ashamed my wallet suffered and I would do it again in a heartbeat. 😛

So, where am i at time of posting?

So this is where I am so far:

2 StuGs
1 StuH
2 Priests (1 to build)
5 Sherman 75mm (2 to build)
3 Sherman 76mm (3 to build)
3 Stuarts
1 M3 Halftrack (4 to build)
1 Panzer IV (7 to build)
1 88mm AA Gun
2 Tiger I
1 German Grenadier Platoon

Left to build so far:

1 Priests
4 M10’s
2 Sherman 75mm
3 Sherman 76mm
4 M3 Halftrack
7 Panzer IV
1 88mm AA Gun
2 German Grenadier Platoons plus HQ and extras
US Rifle infantry
US Paratrooper infantry

So, still a lot of work to do.

So why am I building the whole lot rather than selecting the units for the points cost? Well, this boils down to two simple answers:

1. I love building the FoW minis and the historical genre so once I started, I just let the flow take me 🙂
2. Options. Why limit myself to one force when I can swap things out to change my force around?
