From DaveD: still it snows (82 points)

 Having hammered the terrain production , it is on with adding troops . As usual all items are 15mm.

First up Sherman’s - 76mm gun versions including one Easy 8 . 

I recently picked up some other 3d printed pieces suitable for my rear echelon area guys, who will have to  try and delay the advancing Germans, or try to bug out successfully. I always like engineering assets to drive scenarios. The hardest part of these was getting drivers and passengers in under the canvas roofs - 3d printers should offer an option to have them printed in situ.

Telegraph truck and M32 Armoured recovery vehicle .

A GMC Wrecker and covered M3 half track 

Dodge and Ambulance .

Water trailer, and new stores type scatter .

Most of the stuff for this week only arrived in the post last week , so it has been dealt with quickly . 

Points 

Vehicles 9x8 =72 + 4 for the trailer piece 

Passengers/crew x 5 = 3 points as one is a full figure standing in the back 

Even better , the first game has been had this week. So everything should have got the “run away” thing out if its system .  

Game 1 - Here they come -, after initially over running the OP’s and an MG team the poor quality US troops managed to delay the advance for more turns than expected and cost the Germans a platoon and half of infantry .

The M10 reinforcement turned up just in time to brew the big nasty Panther up ..

Enough time was bought to let the HQ team bug out . A great game was had with good friend MartinC

TeemuL: Good to hear you got your first game played! Excellent additions, some a bit more unusual, some more usual, but all good to have on the board. Spreadsheet says 82 points, so we'll go with that.
