Updates for a few armybuilder files.

The following armybuilder files had an update to version (3v1.1).
US Airborne:
NUTS - 101st Airborne Division Parachute Rifle Company (3v1.1)
NUTS - 101st Airborne Division Engineer Combat Company (3v1.1)
NUTS - 101st Airborne Division Engineer Combat Company (3v1.1)
A reader of my blog, Lancelot, pointed out to me that in these files the points for the M18 Hellcat tank-destroyer platoon were wrong. These are fixed now.

US Files

UK & Commonwealth:
Market Garden - Canadian Division Rifle Company (3v1.1)
Market Garden - 52nd (Lowland) Division Rifle Company (3v1.1)
In these files I found that the .50cal MG of the transport section of the Rifle platoons showed no stats on the OoB sheet.
And 1 Canadian Armoured platoon and 1 Canadian Armoured Recce platoon didn't show the Motivation and skill in the OoB sheet.
All bugs are fixed.

Now back to the painting table.

Finally the long wait is over!

Although it was still cold outside and the wind was blowing the garage was, because the sun was shining through the windows, at a suitable temperature to prime my miniatures. So with no moment to loose I grabbed my black spray-can and my miniatures and went to the garage and started to spray. Finally after a long wait.


At the back we see from left to right, A staff team for my Canadian Artillery. This one was never painted because I didn't need it. Now with the new rules it may come in handy. Then in the middle there is a M18 Hellcat tank-destroyer and a scout car. These are the last models for my tank-destroyer platoon. The rest of the platoon I already painted about 5 years ago but because I never were going to use them I never painted the last models. Now this platoon can be used with my 101st Airborne Division from the NUTS book which give me reason to paint these models. At the right is a Stuka D for my Mid War 90. Leichte Afrika Division DAK army.
Next row we have 3 25mm SA-34 guns + Command team for a 25mm Anti-tank gun platoon. An addition for my Early War French Escadron de Reconnaissance Compagnie. These were a gift. Thanks Les.
In front of those we have a Rocket Battery, RCA with 4 Land Mattress and 2 Command teams and 2 Observers. For my Market Garden Canadian Infantry Company.
And last in the front row, Easy Company. An addition for my 101st Airborne Division. Also from the NUTS book.

The plan was to paint the M18 Hellcat and a scout car first but because the weather put me behind schedule and I am going to play in a small tournament in June using my Canadian Company, I have no choice then to paint the Rocket Battery, RCA first.

The Ancible Issue 20 (But no longer for free)

Because this magazine is now no longer for free to download this will be the last time that I will tell on my blog that the latest issue of the Ancible magazine is available. Simple because I don't have the intention of buying the magazine even if it is inexpensive. Beside that is the fact that I can not even buy it. With sadness I have to say goodbye to this magazine.

What is in this issue:
Judge Dredd
Battlestar Galactica
Star Wars x-Wing
Andy does lots of painting

Thanks for reading.

Update for a lot of army files.

All British and Canadian Market Garden army files except the British Airborne army files are replaced by new army files.
All US Market Garden and NUTS army files are replaced by new army files.
The German Bridge by Bridge - 107. Panzerbrigade Panzerkompanie (3v1.0) is replaced by a new army file.

In all these files the stats for the self defence anti-aircraft AA MG or .50 cal AA MG were wrong.
Replaced them by the correct one. 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I will update these stats for the Turning Tide files when the new book is released.

Thanks for reading
