Tale of 5 Gamers: Relief of Bastogne

Relief of Bastogne

US Third Army

Update on my second army for the 2019 Tale of Five Gamers. I have completed the 500 point army "Relief of Bastogne" to support my 101st Airborne, but also to help get through the HUGE backlog I have for bolt Action... so progress with this army is well needed!

This US army has been built, painted and based, so I earn the 3 points available for January. 

Now i need to battle with this army for more points, and then build this army to 750 points ready for the next battle.

By the end of this challenge I will hopefully have a sizeable army for the US when the challenge is complete!  

Month one is primarily infantry based, with potential for a Sherman to be added in month 2! So keep an eye out on what comes next!

Tale of 5 Gamers: My US Airborne

Battered Bastards of Bastogne

Welcome to my first blog for the 2019 Tale of Five Gamers.  For this challenge I plan to build, paint and fight with two armies - this is the first, my United States 101st Airborne at Bastogne, Battle of the Bulge.  

The army is primarily infantry based, so lots of veteran airborne and some support to tackle the armour in later gamer.  I still have some way to go to finishing this army, but so far so good.

Progress so far...
