My 2011 / 2012 FoW project 10: All-Terrain Towed 105mm Artillery Battery.

Finally finished the All-Terrain Towed 105mm Artillery Battery for my early war French Escadron de Reconnaissance company. The battery consist of four 105mm C mle 1935B guns, Staff-team, Command team, Observer and a motorcycle and sidecar.
Before the pictures of the painted Artillery battery there is a picture of an original 105mm C mle 1935B gun. Something I will try to add each time I have painted a new platoon for my FoW army's.
Sorry for the crappy pictures.

NUTS. Army file for the 101st Airborne Division. Part 3

OK this ain't funny. For the second time in a row I had to update the file. I really hate this.
The Rifle platoon gave the wrong total points in the OoB.
Updated file is available since yesterday.
I do feel sick about this and hope this was the last update for a long time.

Thanks for reading

NUTS. Army file for the 101st Airborne Division. Part 2

Although the file was checked many times on errors I still found a little bug. The points for the Support Section of the Airborne Divisional Recon Platoon were wrong. A new updated file is already up for download. Because I left the version number the same you have to check if you already have downloaded the new version. Checking is very easy: If you select the Support Section of the Airborne Divisional Recon Platoon, the points for the Support section must be 110 points and not 60 points which was the case in the old file.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for reading.

NUTS. Army file for the 101st Airborne Division.

Here it is the new army-file for the 101st Airborne Division to use with the new Flames of War army-book NUTS. With this army-file you can build a Parachute company, an Airborne Engineers Combat company or a Glider company.
Before I go on I first like to thank dvang, 1stBn and lap1964, all three members of the Flames of War forum, for helping me to check for mistakes and errors and to point out what I should add, what is unclear, and what to change.

When you open the file you will see a new (second) Notes sheet. This one is labelled "Important Notes". It is very important that you read these notes first. Compared to the other army-files a lot have changed and new things are added. One of the most important parts to read is the one about how to select your Tank company. At first I wanted to add the text of the "Important Notes" sheet in this blog post as well but because it is such a large quantity of text I have decide not to do so.
An other thing you will notice is that the Company sheets have a complete new look and lay-out.
Not much has changed to the Order of Battle sheets. The only thing is that I added something new to these sheets. You can read all about that in the "Important Notes" sheet.

As usual there is an Excel and ODS version of the army-file.
The links to new files are here : Files. Or you can click on the Files link at the top.
As the list of links to the various army-files on the page is becoming very large, I have decided that when I upload a new army-file or updated army-file I will write, in red, "New" behind the link. This to make it easier to find the right links.
May you have any questions after reading the "Important Notes" sheet and looking through the army file you can ask these questions here.

Thanks for reading.

A new army-file: The Netherlands 1940

After weeks of absence finally a new post on my blog.
I have to say sorry to all who follow my blog for me being away for so long. It all had to do with my work and I haven't been feeling too well the last couple of weeks. What exactly is wrong is not something I want to tell here. But now I am slowly getting back.

This post is all about a new army-file. An army-file for The Netherlands 1940 PDF.
What I like to tell about this PDF is that is is made by some Dutch people from the Dutch Flames of War forum with the help from Wayne Turner from Battlefront who provided the points and stats for the platoons. I can say that they did a great job.
In this PDF you'll find the options to take an Infanterie company or a Mariniers company for Early War.
The army file gives you the possibility to built one of the options mentioned.  All you have to do is select the platoons you like to take and print out the Order of Battle.

You can find the links to new files here : Files at the bottom of the page.
There is an Excel version and an ODS version.

Have fun gaming!
