Flames Of War Logo

Deutsches Afrikakorps
with Tom Wise

Tom's army was built under V3 so the points and organisations may have changed, but is no less impressive in it's size or quality!

A friend and I recently played a Mid-war game of Flames Of War using Recon forces and as I was trying to locate the figures to use for the game I realised that I needed to tidy up the mess my collection had become. I hadn't labelled the any of the units that well and couldn't figure out who went with what. So I laid out each unit again, trying to figure out how to put everything together again. When I was done, I had twelve Kfz 70 trucks, two Kfz 15 field cars, a Radio Truck and two motorcycles that didn't have a home. So while I had everything out, I decided to update the pictures some five years after painting the force.

If I did this army again I wouldn't paint the vehicles the same way. I had highlighted them, but when I applied the matt varnish to them the highlighting disappeared. What I should do when I have time is go back over the vehicles re-highlighting.
