Another epic game of Chain of Command yesterday at my wargaming club. Set in France in 1940, A French chasseur platoon attempted to block the passage of Schutzen Platoon from a Panzer Division. Despite losing two jump off points, the fire from the Chasseurs starting taking a toll on the Germans forcing some elements to pull back. The panzer III advanced and exchanged shots with the Renault R35 until the French tank commander was killed. The panzer III was blinded by a barrage of smoke bombs care of the French mortar team while the French deploy an antitank gun. The panzer pressed ahead but the gun crew scored a hit killing the panzer's driver. One of the French section's broke under concentrated fire from two German sections. The French had fought bravely but their morale was becoming fragile under the German attack.

A 3d printed Jagdpanther, which i will use for my late-war German force.

This is a 3d printed (FDM, not resin by the way) tank for my German forces. At this point it still lacks a bit of weathering but i like how the camo scheme turned out.

I am working on a large scale colour guide for uniforms and vehicle colours (Though i am doing it slowly and on the side, next to other projects).

This Tiger I was destroyed by a 76mm Sherman during my first 15mm Bolt Action game. Both surviving Tigers were also killed by the same Sherman. A true ace Gunner!
