Flames of war fate of a nation bat rep !

So my buddy and I , decided to break out our Arab Israeli war armies for flames of war supplement . Which appeared as a free army book with last years warhammer illustrated august issue . By the way a great magazine . I was fielding my Israeli tank company and my friend fielded his massive Egyptian tank company . Full of sorts of Russian armor . With our mission rolled up ( a standard meeting engagement ) we put down our objectives deployed , and away we went ! The game began with  my Israeli tanks staying at long range ( Israeli tank crews reroll miss to hit rolls  at ranges over 16 inches ) and kept firing my main tank guns into the incoming hordes of Egyptian tanks . I used a good mix of tanks . On my left flank to macach 3 protected my mechanized infantry plt . These were my objective seizing units which would try to flank on the left to the objective and hopefully disembark ground troops on the objective . In the middle of my line I placed my co and two m51 and m50 Sherman plts in the cover of the few buildings in the center of the table . To give them a little more protection due to there weak armor . My last tank plt was three centurions which held my right flank . Which was completely open . Perfect for their long range powerful main guns . The reason I put them there , was due to my opponent putting two plts of his most formittal tanks . The t54 . For a surprise I bought an Israeli fighter with priority air ( I bought it with out my opponent knowing painted it up , decaled it , and sprung it on my opponent in the second phase ) it was cool surprising him :) . Actually the fighter was more of an annoyance . it was never really able to break through all the anti aircraft fire from all those tanks pintal mounted machine guns . But it was another level of threat that my buddy had to worry about .the game pretty much went according to plan with my Israeli tanks scoring lots of kills . Stopping most of the Egyptian tanks . As the game started to run out of game turns I began to move up . My 2 machach 3 tanks and infantry filled half tracks made a run for the left side objective . The rest of my tanks now began to take casualties as the ran into the remants of the Egyptian tanks. Egyptian infantry anti tank missle teams were also able to penetrate and take out a Sherman coming up a road . Very bloody indeed .finally the path to one of my objective was open and almost to grasp . The Egyptians army fell below half and was forced to make a company morale . With them being conscripts they broke and withdraw . A win for the Israelis . Great game and a lot of fun . The last time we played I was over run and swamped by the Egyptians and lost terrorably . I learned from my mistakes and was able to pull a win in this battle . Great game and expansion . I will play flames of war in any flavor it comes out in . Also I'm a big fan of there veitnam expansion and have two armies for that as we'll . Looking foward there world war 1 expansion free in next months august wargames illustrated issue . Till next time happy gaming every one !

Great time at eternalcon 2014 !

The weekend of June 13th me and my family and buddy went to eternalcon . This was the second time they held this pop culture con at the cradle of a aviation museum . Located in nassua county Long Island New York . It was a blast . Me and my buddies went in as colonial marines . I was a smart gun operator and he went as a rifleman complete with his pulse rifle . My twins dressed up as we'll . My son dressed up as a warhammer 40000 space marine and my daughter went as my little pony . Later on I changed into my predalien hybrid suit . Lots of cool costumes and vendors . Ray park who played darth maul in the star wars prequel was there with a bunch more celebs . Kids had a blast . It's nice that Long Island ny has a small comic con . I entered the costume contest and won 2nd place . Very cool . I lost the kid dressed up as a jawa . Good stuff . One of the costume contest judges was a contestant from syfy channels face off . Very nice . If you live in the New York area. , it's a good stop for a con !
