So the plan for this week was to collect my PSC Panthers monday night and then assemble & paint eight of them for a 1500pt FoW game at Christchurch Crusaders tonight. Is that what happened? No. Although I did get the tanks from Graham, having to get a new central heating boiler installed got in the way. Also I couldn't get a 1500pt FoW game arranged.
But all is not lost. I am taking part in their FoW escalation campaign and have a 750pt game arranged with Graham tonight. However it's an Infantry Aces type campaign so no all tank forces. This means my US Rifle Company (Italy) will get a run out. I will be using this list.
So what am I going to be painting for the rest of this week? Well I have some Basic Impetus games arranged for monday & I'd like to get my Classical Indian force done for then. I might also have a go at assembling some of my Panthers & maybe get some primer on them. I also need to get a start on my 10mm Pendraken Napoleonic figures for Lasalle. I've painted up a test figure and it went better than I expected. There's plenty of detail on the models & as I'd hoped it was fast to paint up.
I'll try to get some pictures up later in the week and I'll also post a batrep about tonights FoW game. Plus I have another post already written about the new 'Maurice' rules that I was going to post today but I'm waiting on the ok to use someone else's pictures. Hopefully that will be up soon.

FoW Escalation Campaign
Graham from Christchurch Crusaders is going to be running a FoW escalation campaign on Thursday nights, so I've decided to take part. These are the details so far:
The lists I will be using are here.
This is very loosely based on the Cassino campaign / Infantry Aces combined with the Normandy invasion so I'll be borrowing rules from Infantry Aces along with the Map from Cassino to play through an "invasion" campaign.Looking forward to this but my plan of learning the rules by playing tank only forces is out of the window as my Panther force won't fit with Graham's plans. So I'll be going with my LW U.S. Rifle Company(Italy).
This will be very simple with progressive games starting at 750 points, then 1000, then 1250 and finally 1500-2000 points for the last game.
Each player will have a starting point on the map from where they will launch their assault and play through various stages potentially meeting up with any opponents forces as they go.
The lists I will be using are here.
