November.

I'm begging groups across the UK organising memorial events, please just use the plethora of IWM photos or actual original pieces from the Great war. Using Gen AI images and designs looks amazingly crass, enforces weird stereotypes and is just plain wrong.

Fifteen Battlefront T-62 in Soviet green

Also, talking tanks, got the T-62 modulated and started on blacking out the lights and vision blocks and base coating the tracks medium brown.

Name a movie you've seen more than 7 times with just a gif

If you see this, post a vehicle.

Bit if a blast from the past with my v2 #FlamesofWar 6th AARR Tetrarchs troop. The old resin and metal Battlefront 15mm models with some jeep riders and spare gunner figures added.

A bit of #WIP on some Soviet T-62 for #WW3CheckpointCharlie.

Pondering adding some sand coloured stripes to make them usable as Syrians in #FateofaNation.

And Mike's take on an excellent game!

The RPG7 brewed up the Abbot and the Chieftain finally failed a 3+ counter attack

The British Infantry would have won the game for Mike if I had failed the roll.

A glamour shot of Mike's gorgeous Berlin Brigade Chieftains.

9/9 - both sides were on the opposing objective. Both needed to clear the enemy off to win
The Soviet Infantry had to assault the Chieftain and an Abbot. The assault lasted multiple rounds but eventually the Chieftain failed to counter attack. The lone RPG team stood victorious.

But it was close

Close to the end now

8/9 - Turn 7 and the Soviets assaulted the Abbots, killing or capturing three. The remainder fell back but still contested the objective.

British Infantry assaulted and killed the Carnations. Ending the turn on the objective. The Chieftains backed up the Abbot.

End of Soviet turn 6. Soviet infantry on the verge of assaulting the objective.

Chieftains scan for new targets

7/9 - Turn 6 and the tension wracks up. With the T-80 gone, the ability to kill Chieftain was now vastly decreased. British Infantry finished off the remains of the first company and put them in touch of the objective. But the second Soviet company was also threatening NATO.

End of Soviet turn 5

The Chieftains advance to surround the T-80

Soviet infantry are caught out in the open but thankfully survive the turn.

6/9 Turn 5 and the second infantry company kept pushing for the objective whilst the BMP1 tried to deal with the Chieftain, only to find the new Stillbrew armour easily beat the Sagger. The T-80 opened up on the HQ troop and missed! The Chieftains flanked and killed the T-80.

Turn 3 and the T80 arrived to avenge the BMP3.

Mike's turn saw the HQ troop of the Chieftain arrived, right on the T-80s flank.

One APDSFS round plowed into the side of a T-80, setting the ammo carasoul off and sending the turret skyward.

5/9. Turn 4 and the T80 arrived, nailing the two Chieftains that had claimed the BMP3. Mike's reserves then arrived in the perfect place and nailed a T-80 with a fin round to the flank.
The Abbots and reserve Chieftains from last turn decimated the infantry company and battalion HQ.

Start of turn 3

Turn 3 saw the BMP1 company move on, reinforcing the objective and the beleaguered BMP2

The BMP3 use their ability to move and fire their AT-10 ATGW to... miss all three of their shots... Needless to say, that was sub-optimal.

An overhead view of the stand off. The HQ BMP2 was killed in turn 2 when it strayed into view of a Milan. The infantry company bailed an Abbot on the way into the assault but got pushed back by defensive fire.

4/9 Turn 3 and the first reinforcements arrived, the BMP1 Company moving on to reinforce the left objective. The 76mm guns tried to kill the last Fox but failed. The BMP3 moved up to shoot the Chieftain and missed.
The Chieftains didnt and all 3 BMP brewed up. More Chieftain arrived on the scene

Situation at the start of turn 2.

The Chieftain move up to fire on the advancing Soviet infantry.

3/9 - Niether side got any reserves. The Soviet Infantry continued moving through the town, though becoming split up. The only casualty inflicted was one Fox.
Mike's turn saw the F-4 come screaming on, braving AA fire r
That saw one aircraft downed and clearly upsetting the aim of the remaining 3.

BMP2 open up on the Fox CVR(W) sat in the road.

Chieftains pass by the remains of the Fox troop. One of the Chieftain folks its tracks on a chain-link fence, bringing it to a halt.

The British advance - a troop of Chieftains and the remains of a Fox CVR(W) troop

2/9 Turn 1 and I won the roll for first turn. It saw the BMP2 score some early kills vs the Fox platoon with 30mm automation fire.

Mike moved the Chieftain up, one getting caught up trying to cross a chain link fence, fouling its tracks. The remaining two tanks and Fox killed a BMP2 each.

My plan was to push my BMP-2 Conpany's infantry up the centre and seize the objective whilst their BMP2 guarded the left objective.

Mike's force. He got the Fox painted up so they were. Late addition. A pair of F-4G stood in for the Harriers.

My force. I originally planned to have a recce platoon of BMP2 but I had ran out of BMP1/2 hulls! BMP3 are a touch out of period but needs must.

1/9 Tonight's game of #WW3TeamYankee vs @britishbersagliere.bsky.social. 80pts, Encounter with a British Berlin Brigade Chieftain Squadron facing off vs a Soviet BMP Battalion. Mike won the "Attacker" roll.

Follow below for the blow by blow.

Damn, if only 'hard men of Gondor' with their hollowed out, atrophying state, obsessed with the glories of the past and which was only saved from defeat by the actions of those it claimed to protect, could teach us anything...

Berlin Brigade force for Team Yankee ready for the table!

Berlin Brigade force for Team Yankee ready for the table!

Recently finished foxes for the army!

First game with the Berlin Brigade tonight against @leeparnell.bsky.social looking forward to it!

The phantoms will be replaced with Buccaneers in the future, and adding an infantry platoon and some 432s with all the trimmings!

Looking forward to it!

More Berlin Brigade nonsense (apologies for spam but whatever)
Without a proper reference photo I took the lead 432 Rarden camo pattern and overlayed it on the Abbot and it’s come out well. 3 more to go!

#teamyankee

Hopefully get to play against these next week!

So, is this better or worse than the 2010s remake.

1500pts fully painted. Karak Norn dwarfs for The Old World. Took a proper pic since I hit this milestone with the army.

3 Chieftains in 1:100 scale in their Berlin Brigade Camouflage

3 Chieftains in 1:100 scale in their Berlin Brigade Camouflage

First full troop complete!

Command tanks next, then I’ve got the next three chieftains to do and that will be all the heavy armour in the force complete. Then on to fiddly bits! This is accurately replicated Camo, but it might get busy for smaller vehicles.

#berlinbrigade

Mike doing the one tank camo I've never gotten around too.

Mainly because I need a third British TY force like I need a hole in the head.

Okay in the grand scheme of things, that didnt take a million years and has come out pretty well for this scale.

Just 8 more to go now...

And the Fox's

And the FV432...

Oh god.
