German Grenadiers vs Brit Tanks in Encounter


A target rich environment!

Game 3 of the Lords or War MW 109 pt tournament was against Craig and his Brits. As always the painting level for Craig's army was outstanding! It's always so much more fun playing against a well painted army. Plus Craig is such a gentleman in all games it's always a good time. He had spent a lot of points on cards just like Shawn, which was new for me. One of them was the lucky card (may not have been the lucky card) which said that the player can automatically pass a saving throw. My question is what if you don't get to make a saving throw? The specifics was his OC in a Lee getting hit by a Tiger's main gun. We rolled off and carried on but I have no idea if we played it right.

German Grenadiers vs US Tank Company in Free for All


The Tiger stalks the battlefield looking for its next prey!

Game 2 of the Lords of War 109 pt MW tournament was against Shawn and his Yanks! He was rocking a very similar list to Dennis with the exception of all the cards. I mean he spent like 25 points on all the cards. So the Germans were basically playing against Germans but with American equipment.

Aquino Weekend 2019 at Ontario Regiment Museum


The USMC M60 "Gumpy" from the Gulf War

I had the opportunity to attend Aquino weekend 2019 at the Ontario Regiment in Oshawa. It was a fantastic time and I took a bunch of pictures for people to be able to reference. The coolest part about these tanks and the museum is the partnership they have with World of Tanks. A lot of the vehicles and sounds from the museum have made their way into World of Tanks on the PC. See if you can spot any of your favourite tanks in the pictures. Enjoy!
