you’ve had 7 minutes so I’m claiming first
I didn’t want to steal your thunder and break your streak
Made it first again, truly love this job
you may be 1st but you didnt mention the GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE
shall we talk about the worst movie ever made ?
sorry, i am First again, 7 seconds, 7 minutes, 7 hours, always first.
Gerry the insider trader Lol
I shall not overturn Gerry’s thunder he is bigger than me.
what’s he going to do, virtually punch you….now now,,,,let’s not get into an arguement on who’s first especially since it’s me.
let the Wookie win.
Good stuff, my weekend can now start.
Question, WWIII starter – any good for East German?
If you shout for a wild John he may appear and help you heh
I don’t believe East Germany has a dedicated list yet. In reality they had a mix of old tech never quite reaching the armour that is in the box for the Soviets, however it seems sensible to me that in the event of war breaking out they would have their equipment upgraded.
In short, I don’t see why you can’t run the Soviets as the National People’s Army I expect a lot of overlap when the East Germans get a book.
I am the 1st to say GO watch the GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!
Yes Mercenaries box, yes the chimpy head and yes the very first SG mini I put together (though somehow the troopers got finished first)
It does seem like a pretty good box for those liking their aliens
As with the fantasy boxes they’ve played a blinder here. Crew for the basic goons, mercenaries for the leaders or specialists, troops as squads or just better equipped gangers (possibly also with chimp and lizard heads, perfect!)
The Stargrave Troopers look like they could be painted like space marines in Aliens.
Yeah! The week-end starts NOW!!!
West German TY coverage was great.
Needs more infantry … and it really feels odd to see modern artillery on the battlefield.
Wait .. am I learning stuff while playing games ?
That can’t be 😉
Its odd to see it WW2 games as well I’m my opinion
True, its only there to sell figures and models. If any tanks got near artillery, the crews would run like hell. Like when the russian tanks got near that german airfield outside of stalingrad,,,,,alot of planes crashed into each other as it was PANIC of the first magnitude.
Yes, it should not be there, only there to sell models. I saw a great picture, dated 1973, a couple of Egyptian vehicles got near an Israeli artillery position, lets just say, it looked like a hell of alot of busted guns. Crews basically ran as by the time you limber up, its over. If you have any reservations, ask the Egyptian SAM crews when they saw Israeli tanks coming near them, they just fled. One reason Israel had so many pieces of Russian equipment, rear troops just fled.
Anthony Andrews was in the TV series wasnt he? Maybe I’m thinking of something else
Anthony Calf was one of the brothers, I don’t think Andrews was in it, but it’s been years
First again, i am truly remarkable.
I notice Gerry has changed the background! Warhammer 1st Ed is out and Judge Dredd is in!
Richard Haliwell passed so I thought it fitting
If anyone saw the Wargames Atlantic poll and voted for anything other than the space apes … well I just don’t understand.
It’s the Weekend and time to open that West German WW3:TY goodness that arrived yesterday from the OTT store!
Nice job this week guys lots of cool content and shiny things for me to look at.
Yay its the weekender time.
Tut Tut its the two Ronnie’s one thats the bestest Guys?

Love me some Team Yankee. We need Free adding to the opening credits! Great show as ever, have a great weekend folks.
that octobeasty could be the watcher in the water for LOtR.
Justin is the BOW house elf?

It’s the Weekender…………,
Loving the ‘1898 Miniaturas’ French Foreign Legion’ figures. I’ve got to snag some of them! ??
TTCombat has produced more lovely ships for my Dropfleet Commander fleets. Dave has got his design on and hitting it out of the park this time. Really wish I could have met Dave at a convention sometime. Oh well, I can still watch the OTT Dropfleet Commander Weekend videos over and over again.
Well, adding to my list the Wargames Atlantic ‘Conquistadors’. A must have to bring my early Americas pulp adventures to life.
about 2 hours after the show they showed off some low res test prints of the Aztecs to be painted for the box art they look lovely.
