D-Day: German Spotlight
In early 1944, the situation in France was clearly the quiet before the storm. An Allied invasion would come, probably in the summer, but until then it was a quiet place to rebuild divisions shattered in the desperate autumn and winter battles on the Eastern Front behind the ‘Atlantic Wall’ fortifications lining the coast. The challenge faced by the German commanders, Rommel and von Rundstedt, was how to combine these disparate forces into a battle-winning force. Should the panzers support the beach defences closely? Or should they operate with complete freedom, seeking to strike a battle-winning blow to cut off and destroy the Allied armies once ashore? What would be the best way to handle the massive Allied superiority in numbers, artillery, especially heavy naval gunfire, and aircraft? They made their choices and failed. Can you do better, defeating the Allied invasion and saving Germany?

Chris Builds a D-Day: German Tournament List
Normally when I put together a list, there is an aesthetic or historical reason behind it and I am able to give (at length) reasons why I have chosen that Army. Alas, and much to the relief of my wife, this time is a little different for the German D-Day book. I won’t be waxing lyrical about specific units or historical formations. Instead I have actually approached the book from a gamer’s point of view, albeit with some restrictions.

Wayne's Panzer IV Company - Adding Panzergrenadiers and 88's!
Progress ]on Wayne's Panzer IV Tank Company has reached a climax. I’ve completed the last two units I need to bring my force up to 100 points (well, actually 99 or 101 points). He has finished off a great looking Panzergrenadier Platoon (with halftracks) and a pair of deadly 88's.
For more pictures of Waynes new troops, check out the Big Four website.

Over on their Instagram page you can keep up with all the behind the scenes developments as they share images from their painting desks at home. Who knows what you might see...

Building 22A Canadians
Team Yankee is my first miniatures game and Canadians are the first army I built. I joined the Canadian Forces in 1985, and I am still serving as an infantryman. In the 1980s and 90s I was posted to an infantry battalion, 1 PPCLI, where I was in a rifle platoon (call sign 22A), Anti-Armour platoon and Reconnaissance Platoon. So when I decided to build my army I of course chose to base it on my unit.
