Ardennes 2024

[Smiley Miley 66]

As John W has highlighted, December is Battle of the Bulge time !
Does anyone fancy doing a PBI themed day at Entoyment on a Saturday in December?
Sorry Martin, I ve got British in White ? I know that's a surprise !
Also myself and Big Mike have components from the 2016 ? Big game !
Miles

[Sean Clark]

I still have some of the scenery from the 2016 game.

[martin goddard]

December would be a good idea Miles.
PBI snow.
I assume German, British and US only?

John

Wow was looking at the German force 150 Pz Brigade. Wow how expensive to have a motorised company ? 12 base per company with transports. That's it ?
Miles

[Colonel Kilgore]

You probably want the half-tracked transport (which is more expensive, but comes with armour and an MG) as well as the option for the half-tracked 37mm gun for the platoon commander, Miles.

The OAB has listed 200 sailors
I guess they were to look after the Rum ration and build the bar

Stewart

[Smiley Miley 66]

I hadn't even looked at the 37mm option, as how many US units have this ?
Obviously you don't know what 150 Pz Brigade is ? When it comes to Battle of the Bulge ?
Were you there at Dorchester 2016 ?
Then you should have an idea ?
They were Special vehicles done for the unit ?
Having a choice of 9 (various)H/Ts, 3 (German)Trucks, Ez M10s lookalikes and 3 Ez M7 lookalikes and a Captured Sherman.
But I ve as yet to do the troops ?
Miles

[martin goddard]

Sounds a nice army to use Miles.
I am looking forward to fighting it.

martin

[Stewart 46A]

I have just bought off eBay Pz 150 Brigade,
Consists of
3 x Disguised Panthers
3 x Disguised Stug's
3 x Disguised 250 Halftracks
3 x M8 Armoured Cars
40 x German Paratroopers
4 x 120mm Mortars
4 x PAK 40 AT Guns

Stewart

[martin goddard]

We now have 2 German disguised  forces.
Should make a good looking game
If there were a third one we could have the PBI day as US v US?   are they/are they not?


martin

[Smiley Miley 66]

Only if I can either paint up some of my Americans by then ? Or borrow some American/germans.
It's a case to what one can afford and probably have to pay for US guns rather than German weapons ?
The Armoured cars I want to get ? Cap over the 2nd wheel of the 8 wheelers to make it look like a 6 wheeler.
Not too sure what the sdffz 250 do ? Whether they have the 20mm turrets or not ?
Rapid fire do a nice section on their battles and set up ?
Sounds like the force you would get with " Forged in Battle " set ? How much did you pay for that ?
Miles

[Smiley Miley 66]

Just working out a force using "Skorzseny Panzer Brigade 150"
What would be the penalty for 417 or 420 point force ? Please ?
