Hey everyone, hope you guys are doing well. This is my final hobby article on my Team Yankee USA because these are the finishing touches. Stowage and decals on my M1s, aerials, and then I delve into the magical world of Objectives.

First of all, I way over-ordered on the stowage. The reason for this was I need more M1 spare roadwheels, and the image on the website led me to believe each pack came with one of the sprues on the left, and three of the ones on the right (see below image).  They actually include three of each, which makes the price a bit easier to swallow

I’ll level with you. Looking at Google images of modern Russian army camouflage gave me a headache and trying to figure out how to replicate it at 28mm pushed the headache into migraine territory.

The easiest solution would have been to paint the camo in a solid bright green color since that’s what the camo looks like at a distance anyway but I decided against it and threw together a BDU-looking camo pattern.

I’ll take the hit for historical accuracy because I think what I came up with looks passable to those who don’t know what right should look like. Feel free to judge – I can take it. If you’re more committed to the crusade of historical accuracy than I was then I applaud your fanaticism and have fun. If you find success please send tips my way.

“What difference does it make for me if you have two tanks to my one? You send them out and let me smash them in detail!” – Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.

The Eastern front Germans finally make their introduction into Flames of War late war with the new Bagration: German book. There’s a lot to be excited about for any German player, no matter what kind of army you enjoy playing.

I am most excited about the new tanks being brought into late war for the Wehrmacht. I will evaluate all the new tanks in this book as there are a bunch to go over. I will preface that I will not go over tanks that have already been released such as the StuG, Panzer IV, Tiger and Panther but rather the new tanks making their first appearance in late war.

Battlefront has released its Bagration German book.  I was interested and how, or even if, the Battlefront team could make a unique new book when so much of the standard German units seem already accounted for.  Though I was already quite content with the new book as is, it’s normally the Command Cards that take a new force book to the next level.  That is the case here as I think these new Bagration German Command Cards take an already excellent book product and knocked it out of the park with these new command cards.

I have been a fan of Academy Games well before I met Uwe Eickert, their CEO from playing their series. I got to meet Uwe at Connections 2019 and interviewed him for a podcast and I was impressed with his approach as a game developer. While Academy games does not have dozens of titles, every game in their inventory is a masterpiece that all gamers will enjoy. Their game which covers the space race, is yet another hit in their catalog.

Today we have a special podcast for you. We sit down with Jon Russell from Warlord Games and we ask him all about the new Epic Battles for Black Powder.

Recently sent me some of their brand-new and I got around to finishing them just in time to make sure that they land on your holiday wish list. I usually do not collect too much terrain in 15mm however after recently getting a mat that looks like a torn-up battlefield, I decided to take this project on. Past buildings from Battlefront were usually one to three-story affairs made of resin and came pre-painted, these plastic kits are huge and very well done with five floors to expand your table upwards.

In this article we’re going to focus on infantry for Battlegroup NorthAG by the Plastic Soldier Company. How should we paint and base them?

Painting British

Let’s start out with British infantry, as their camo pattern uniform is a bit more complicated. For the models, I’m using the Plastic Soldier Company 10mm Ultracast, mechanized infantry box.

Starting with a base coat, I primed my British black. Starting with Helmets 888  as the initial coat of Vallejo, followed by a dry brush of 886 Green Grey Vallejo.
