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.

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.

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!

New look.

After almost three and a half years I gave my blog a complete new look and layout. In the past I did made some changes to my blog but each time when I changed something it were only minor changes. One of the things that never changed in those three and a half years was the yellowish and camouflage background. But lately I did get bored by this background and found it was time for a new (fresh?) look. A more modern but simple look.
The first thing I did was to make the blog bigger, creating more space for the posts and bigger pictures. Next was the colour. It had to be dark but not too dark and certainly not black. After some tinkering I came with the result you see now. The only thing I kept is the header picture because this one is fairly new. It only became bigger and I changed the look of the blog name.
Personally I am pretty happy with the result how it looks although I have to get used to it after looking for three and a half years at a camouflage background. I hope you all like the new look too. Let me know what your opinion is of the new look, positive or negative.
