Totengräber's Workpläce

Since the Star Wars RPG didn’t happen, Joel and I played a game of Flames of War instead. He had recently finished painting a large chunk of my army, so I was eager to get them on the table and play.  He’d also built me a custom objective marker using the extra pieces from my Tom Stanley box and some extra models he had lying around. The army looks really good on the table. The only problem I had with my models was identifying which stands went with which platoon. I fixed that just this morning by putting a stripe of color on the back of the base. I used some primary and somewhat bright colors so that they are easily idenifiable from just about anywhere on the table.

Here’s my army list:

• HQ
• Rifle Platoon (3 sections, PIAT, light mortar)
• Rifle Platoon (3 sections, PIAT, light mortar)
• Machine Gun Platoon (2 sections in MMG Carriers)
• Mortar Platoon (2 sections, 2 Observer teams)
• Universal Carrier Patrol (3 UCs)
• Wasp Carrier Patrol (3 Wasps)
• M10 17pdr SP (1 section)
• Churchill Crocodiles (3 tanks with trailers)
• Anti-Tank Guns (2 sections of 6pdrs)

I am honestly not sure what Joel’s army list consists of.

Again we had just a few people for the Star Wars RPG. Joel, Fred and Morgan were there to play last night. No word from Fuller, Dave or Chris. I assume Chris is out due to his new child. Dave and Fuller I don’t know.  At least Joe posted on the G2D4 forum saying he wouldn’t be there, which I take as interest and courtesy.

We’ll be trying again next time (7/1), which should have Joel, Fred, Joe, Morgan (?) and maybe Bryan. These guys all seem to be really into the game, so this will probably end up being the “core” group.

Here’s to hopin’.
