But they don't normally need to move much once popped if things go to plan.<br /><br />BenBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727751389191052408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504019008093553470.post-78655507401803608342013-09-13T16:51:14.961+01:002013-09-13T16:51:14.961+01:00It is a trade off on mobility, but the infantry ar...It is a trade off on mobility, but the infantry are quite mobile with the ability to double through terrain and the Towed TD's are very mobile until deployed.<br /><br />Thanks BenBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727751389191052408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504019008093553470.post-3580015326228254692013-09-13T16:49:49.071+01:002013-09-13T16:49:49.071+01:00Hi Cameron,

And Two they do fill a whole being able to gap barbed wire and the like and are also all Tank Assault 3.<br /><br />Thanks benBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727751389191052408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504019008093553470.post-47648800403078544182013-09-13T13:29:43.494+01:002013-09-13T13:29:43.494+01:00Its amazing you finished all that so quickly, I th...Its amazing you finished all that so quickly, I think giving yourself a deadline probably really helped.<br /><br />Sweet before and after pic too!<br /><br />So will there be battle reports soon?Mr.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05173376889755058300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504019008093553470.post-60609332979586688652013-09-13T08:08:56.710+01:002013-09-13T08:08:56.710+01:00Very impressive output Ben.

I love how your basing looks wintery but would look perfectly at home on a bight green board too.<br /><br />I am guessing that the M10s don't get to actually use their mobility too much as most opponents will try to destroy them pretty quickly after they arrive.<br /><br />Just curious, what do you plan to do with the pioneers in your revised list? Are they just there to bump the platoon count?<br /><br />Good luck in the tournament.Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02145798538758316372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504019008093553470.post-30517434672185916332013-09-13T06:53:29.715+01:002013-09-13T06:53:29.715+01:00Your idea for changing your list does restrict you... Your idea for changing your list does restrict your mobility, but you will have a lot of bodies on the ground, so you can cover more area at deployment and hopefully not need to be so mobile. There's always a trade-off, what you lose in beans you make up in chips!<br /> Good luck for the weekend, impressive effort painting all that in eight weeks.Paul Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249430164077358978noreply@blogger.com
