Perry Burgundian Handgunners, Some Appliances, and First Flames of War Game

Welcome,

Today I've got a small unit of plastic Perry Burgundian handgunners painted.  I've based them singly but will magnetize their bases for games requiring larger bases.  60 more points for the Not Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge.

Here's what they'll probably look like on the battlefield, running away

Here's a little bit of junky homemade post-apocalyptic furniture and appliances, two plastic metal legged chairs and a thoroughly beaten up washer and dryer set.

I played my first Flames of War (FoW) game ever and took pictures with the plan of an AAR.  Sadly I didn't know what was going on, my camera sucks, the photographer is even worse,  and the flgs Active Imagination was kind of dark.  Regardless the battle was so chaotic I don't think I could have explained it very well.

Here's what it looked like before everyone died

Some German Anti-aircraft guns that were shooting my infantry as they were attacked by colored cotton

Tanks blew up and disappeared like musical chairs

FoW is quite fun, something I didn't expect.  Afterwards, I broke down and bought a FoW starter box set called "Open Fire".

Till next week, when I'll have some Egyptian marine slingers and some more junk.
