The SS T-34 that almost didn't happen

Ever since the Flames of War book Hitlers Fire Brigade, I've wanted to run the captured T-34 company in there a couple of things stopped me 1: The points cost twas waaaaaaaay to expensive and 2: These tanks were part of the Waffen SS but weren't rated as such.

Now with the release of Battlefronts East Front book the T-34 Company is ready to destroy it's previous owners.

However this is the tale of how mine almost never happened I had hand painted the tank russian green then added splotches of Khaki grey after my Dunklgrab colour turned out so bad I almost scrapped the whole project but though "No, I can fix this" so out with my trusty Tamiya Sprayworks and tamiya German yellow a little more tamiya pigments (similar to that Mig wash stuff), also if I say Tamiya 3 more times they'll send me a free tank lol,and now I present you the results.

VICTORY!!!

Firestorm round two, fight!

Yes the Soviet swine have been pushed back and all thanks to 4 Stugs that's right we played breakthough and all I got was 4 measly Stugs and they were up against 10 t34's 5 of them the 85 models and 4 KV-85 and limited Stormovics.

I held out until 4 Horniss appeared and cleaned up the big tanks but cudos go to the 4 very lucky Stugs taking out 10 t34s for no loss.

Firestorm

I played my first round in a Firestorm campaign yesterday I took my list from Stalins Onslaught I stomped on and mercilessly crushed into dust.

Gavin and I played encounter and he had something along the lines of 15 t34/85 with Dedov and 6 IS-2 and to top it all off bonus air support needless to say my Nashorns couldn't bail an IS to save themselves and the tigers got wiped out by air, at least the Stugs hung in there. Maybe next time eh? The list i used is below.

HQ Stug w/Bieglets

3 Stugs w/Bieglets

3 Stugs w/Bieglets

3 Panzerwefer 42 w/loading crew

2 Nashorns

2 Tigers

And 2 firestorm support troops consisting of 2 Tigers
