Hi folks
Really enjoyed my first game of flames (thanks Graham) but realised most of you play late war so I have bought myself a few more shermans (6 on ebay for £16.00 although the photos a bit fuzzy so could be anything - the guy even listed them as 6 shermans?) to beef my army up so I acn now play an armoured company from Italy.
Does anyone have a copy of turning the tide I could look at to see if my army would proxy up to late war - I know the desert rats became the 7th Armoured division using cromwells so thats out but I figure there must have been British armoured divisions using Shermans still (ok the desert colour scheme is wrong regardless but I just want to be able to pick up some games more easily).
Potentially for late war I now have ... 10 shermans 3 Honey stuarts A lorried motor company 8 25pdrs or similar with an artillery hq.
Does this make a list?
Cheers

Hi mate I'm down on Tuesday, if I can remember I'll bring down my copy of turning tide for you to have a borrow of. I think from memory you probably have enough there for an armoured company, with attached motor inf. platoon and a nasty big battery of arty (ouch). I think stuarts appear as recce platoon but I'm sure your somewhere near maybe 1750 points. I have plenty of sherman fireflys so can always put them in the mix to play with and not sure but without looking at the book some of the Candian units are armoured recce and pretty sure they didn't have fireflys (need to check as I could ahve imagined it). Thanks

Cool, thought it sounded pretty close. As said if you want to have a go at a L.W game sometime let me know and I'll put something together. I have enough German gear to field atleast 1750 points with no problem. Can also bring along any allied stuff you may need including extra Stuarts, plenty more Shermans, Infantry, 6lb and 17lb AT guns etc. Cheers

Great stuff, just let me know. I've got a game (if confirmed) on the 27th and not about on the 3rd April, so maybe some time after that. Also gives me a chance to get stuck in to the rule book and refresh myslef. So many rules spinning around in my head, I get easily confused!

Bugger - shermans arrived but they are not FOW size about a quarter of the size. Complaining works though as am getting refunded. If you have any shermans you don't want let me know...
