Slow (ish) grow league for Flames of War V4

I don’t really have many pics to show progress, or at least none I am comfortable showing at this moment in time, but… where am I?

Well, I am still trying to come up with solid 50pt lists for both sides, but think I am getting somewhere close to workable forces.

U.S.

Sherman HQ (Vet) – 2x Sherman (75mm) – 9 pts
M4 Sherman (75mm) (Vet) – 3 Shermans – 13 pts
M4 Sherman (76mm) (Vet) – 3 Shermans – 16 pts
Armoured Rifle Platoon (Reg) – 11 stands + 4 halftracks – 12 pts

German

Panzer Grenadier HQ – 2 Inf – 2 pts
Panzer Grenadier Platoon – 5 stands – 7 pts
Armoured Panzer Grenadier Platoon – 5 stands + 3 halftracks – 9 pts
Stug Platoon – 2 StuG + 1 StuH – 16 pts
Panzer IV Platoon – 3x Panzer IV – 16 pts

Both forces have infantry and armour. I was thinking about artillery but will probably add them in the next stretch. My gut feeling is the Germans have the edge as they have 5 platoons, however the US are rocking out with more tanks and more infantry…

So, painting-wise. I have done some hard-edge camo on one of the Panzer IV’s as a test but it looks too “solid” so will look to dry brush some lighter shades on them to bring the colour down a bit and make it look faded and weathered before the weathering steps as I dont think the weathering will dull the browns and greens down enough. German infantry is also being worked on. In regards to the US armour, I have 3 shermans, 3 Stuarts, 3 Priests, 4 M10s in the green awaiting decals and weathering and final details as it is nice and quick to do. I have a load more Shermans primed awaiting the base coat and wash steps.

Fingers crossed in the next update, I will have some pictures to show. 🙂
