They're 4 x 2. I basically basecoated them tan, and layered on the Vallejo Desert Sand basing gunk and presto. <br /><br />I did these for Alex's "mega game" but wasn't able to partake. They're 4 x 2. <br /><br />Going to make more but for non-desert (Central Europe!). I will be able to use them as sabots for other games as well like CnC Naps/CnC Tricorne, etc.Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-8421884529106304162018-02-11T12:05:32.378-05:002018-02-11T12:05:32.378-05:00Cheers, Barks.

I could have used more T-55s but thought the T-34s would look really cool on the battlefield.<br /><br />FFT3 is a great set of rules and plays pretty quickly. If you take a look at their free modern and free WWII introductory rules, the turn sequence is only 4 steps, vrs 19 but I know what you mean. TBH, when I used to play FFT, I would play using the introductory rules, with the equipment stats from the actual rules. The result was always a very satisfying game.<br /><br />Yes you need to get your infantry painted up soon. I painted all those DAK guys and they need opponents to fight. I literally have to complete basing on 1 more platoon and literally all of my DAK infantry will have been painted. Can you believe it? An actual finished wargaming project and I have UP THE BLUE to thank.<br /><br />Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-92217745813093328082018-02-10T19:30:45.323-05:002018-02-10T19:30:45.323-05:00those T-34/85s look nasty! almost as big as M48-M6...those T-34/85s look nasty! almost as big as M48-M60 series. They may still be a bit dangerous at close ranges, but I don't know if the gun measured up anymore, unless they had new rounds for it.<br /><br />I'm perusing Fistful of Tows 3 technical manual, hopefully that will be at least a bit helpful with these questions. Great set of rules, but I can't handle a 21-phase turn sequence in my declining years.<br /><br />Thanks for report - I'm sure in the next couple of plays you'll find some more of the stuff that is impacting this edition...and is now back-designed into the WWII rules. I MUST get my British infantry painted up for the Desert Rats! And their 25pdrs, and the "British drinking tea" vignette, aka brewing up [how can anyone NOT fight with that one in their force??].<br /><br />Good day for gaming - multiple posts in and cleaned the office / gaming room, also.ECW 40mm Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170190784599775214noreply@blogger.com
