Commission project finally finished.....

I hope the new owner thinks they're worth the wait. :blush:

The photo's wash out some of the subtleties in the flesh tones... That is a little disappointing as the skin looks much better in person. I can't decide if I went overboard on the basing. Is it too busy? Sometimes I get carried away.

Early War Spank Fest... a week later and I'm still sore

I decided to put this up mostly because I thought the pictures turned out neat. I love building nice looking tables and I think I achieved it for these games. (even if that was the only thing I achieved :crying:)

I'm not going to write up the specifics on what happened because needless to say the British armour made my French realize that the war would indeed be short fought for them. We played two games, the first was a Cauldron, I got to defend the town. My biggest mistake I'll have to admit, was not knowing my enemy. I knew all the crazy Brit rules, tally-ho and what not but what I didn't realize is that on top of that their guns are AT 7 :( On my first turn I double timed it with one platoon to get into a better spot only to get shot up by a single tank. It didn't help that my dice failed me at that moment as you will see later on. My company broke on turn four and the game was over in less than an hour.

Because the first game went so quickly and we spent so much time getting the terrain out we decided to roll up another scenario. My second game was a Fighting Withdrawl. I think by big mistake this time around was agreeing to play another game. This one went a little longer but the result was basically the same. :blink:

Anyway... on to the pictures.
