escalation league complete

We completed our escalation league yesterday. I had originally wanted to run some AAR's from the league but found it difficult to keep tabs on what happened in the games, at some point I will make a point of playing a game for an AAR just to see how well I can do it. The real news from the league is that the majority of lists in the league were Armor lists, there were 2 Infantry lists both of which struggled at low points. The league was predominantly new players or players who had played in the past (mostly version 1 I believe). Early on at low points the armor lists were running right over the infantry lists, but as the infantry was able to add A/T assets the tanks began having a rough time. British 17pdr guns were pounding tanks left and right! At one point I did bring the cheese supporting my Panzergrens with brumbars and the last couple of games I brought out my rarely used Panther platoon, this gave the armor players a difficult time. The 2 infantry lists, my Panzergrenadiers, and a company of British rifles, came out in first and second place.

I would like to thank Randy for the time and effort he put into the league, without him this would have not happened and Syracuse, NY Would still be a FOW dead zone, I would also like to congratulate him on Taking First place and without a doubt showing that Infantry can win the day!

way off topic

This is way off the normal topic but I just dont care. I love old cars, I sadly have sold my baby, a 1967 ford fairlane 500. Replacing her is a 1974 Dodge Dart Swinger. This all original car was just way too good to pass up.

I promise to have some FOW up in the next few days, I have a king tiger almost done and some panthers in progress as well.

good bye old friend, you will be missed

The new girl

looks like a new car in here.

jagdpanther better pics

I took the camera outside and got some pictures in good light. I really need to find a better indoor photo setup but who wants to spend money on that when there are so many more minis to buy!

jagdpanther

Finished the jagdpanthers today. these have been sitting on my shelf half done for I think almost 2 years now, I really like the models but its hard to push myself to finish something until I want to use it. Now that they are done finaly I am wondering if I will use them or not, oh well.

I took a bunch of pictures but my camera hates me and only one came out decent.
