My 2011 / 2012 FoW project.


I have decided to start my next FoW project. A project for 2011 and 2012.
Because all my Late War and Mid War army's are all Infantry companies I want to do something different this time. The period became Early War. After long thinking I have chosen for an Escadron de Reconnaissance Company from the Blitzkrieg book.

The 1500 points list I will built is this one:

HQ
1 Panhard AMD-35

Combat Platoons
Deep Reconnaissance Platoon 5 Panhard AMD-35
Deep Reconnaissance Platoon 5 Panhard AMD-35
Deep Reconnaissance Platoon 5 Panhard AMD-35

Divisional Support
Medium Combat Platoon 5 Somua S-35
Fusiliers-Voltigeurs Platoon (Colonial)
All-terrain Towed 75mm Artillery Battery

It is a list that can easily expand to 1650 by adding a Fusiliers Motocyclistes Platoon or a Reconnaissance Platoon with 3 Hotchkiss H-35 or H-39 (short gun). Then for a 1750 list I can add a Fusiliers Mortar Platoon.

I already started to paint the first mini the HQ Panhard. I hope to show him soon.

Why the long period to built this list. Simple, at the moment I am in the middle of building a Mid War DAK list which, I hope, will be finished soon. Also I want to see if this MW DAK list can be used as a basis for a EW DAK list when the EW Afrika book will be published.
An other problem is having a job. Since I have new job I have less time to paint.

One last thing. I like to welcome all new followers, I hope you will enjoy the ride.

Thanks for reading

  3. @ indierockclimber I am looking forward to have a small force painted so I can play a small game. The person who want to start an German panzer list already starts to complain that he can't do much against this list. ;)

    @ The Angry Lurker I hope that I will have this project finished in a years time. Each time I have something new painted it will be placed here on my blog.

  5. sounds like a plan! I'm also eagerly awaiting desert EW arrival.
    But now I'm curious who's starting the German panzer list :P is it someone from Den Bosch?
