bearded men for the win ?
damn … now I know I’m going to lose 😉

I hope we get to hear what the army lists are like this time around.

@oriskany : if their desert war books are anything like the Market Garden I’ve got then there should be a few really nice scenarios in there.

@limburger – I have seen proposals for the army lists, but I don’t know if anything’s been confirmed, so I don’t want to list anything.  I’ll see if I can follow up.  😀

I’m sure whatever units we’ll get there’ll be plenty of plastic infantry for both sides.

It’ll be fun hearing the guys butcher the German names 😉

This is a fun list for German army personell :

I see a lot of of people are bring armies is anyone building and painting armies supplied by the boot camp. just wondering

[avernos 36180xp 1]

I’ll be building and painting mine there @jackie It is after all part and parcel of the bootcamp experience.

[brucelea 7909xp 0]

Hi @jackie, pretty much everyone will be building the bootcamp stuff, I certainly intend to. I have done one test figure so I know my paint scheme but to be honest i’ll be happy with everything built and a couple of sections base coated. As I want to do a fair bit of gaming and socialising as well ?

[jackie 647xp 1]

good to hear i thought i might be the only one.

[irishsteve 12947xp 0]

@jackie not at all mate. I’ll be building n a painting too 🙂

[oriskany 60796xp 0]

To my knowledge, Friday is “build and paint day” and Saturday is actual gaming day.

Some people keep building and painting on Saturday, too.  Whatever you like.  😀

[bobcockayne 20739xp 0]

@avernos with you on that, the community  painting is a lot of the fun, plus you get some great tips!

I will bring one figure I did years ago mainly to ensure I can get the new stuff to match.

 

[trewets 4782xp 0]

Will be building and painting the force supplied as don’t have one till I get there so don’t feel left out by the die hard historical guys!

 

[bobcockayne 20739xp 1]

@trewets think you will find most of us are (not) die hard historical, most of us have gone to the dark side!

They had cookies.
