Tale of 5 Gamers: US 3rd Army vs German Grenadiers

Tale of 5 Gamers: US 3rd Army vs German Grenadiers 500 points

US Third Army

Month 2 and part of the February challenge is to fight the new 500 point army against another 500 point army.  So, my second army for the 2019 Tale of Five Gamers 'The Relief of Bastoge', Patton's US 3rd Army is set to take on a German Grenadier army.

I have completed the US 500 point winter  army to get the 3 points for January's challenge - now lets see how my force fairs on the battle field.

Points available for this battle is 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss... 

Well, the United States 3rd army easily took apart the Germans in 4 rounds, this has earned me the 3 points needed for the win!

 To take my army to 700 points I am adding a sherman tank and Medium mortar.

The tank is built, undercoated and I have started to add details. I still have weathering to add and maybe some snow too!

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!

US Third Army

For my second army for the 2019 Tale of Five Gamers I have started the relief of Bastogne to support my 101st Airborne, but also to help get through the HUGE backlog I have for bolt Action. 

This US army will be built, painted and battle in addition to my 101st Airborne ;Battered Bastards of Bastogne Army' and will hopefully give me 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!  However I do plan on having a 1/2 track to support the US winter army.

Progress so far...
