Anycubic's Photon Mono X</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">I started a new adventure into 3D printing and I've had a couple of Anycubic printers now. I love it, a whole new way to collect and create models. A totally new aspect to the hobby that never existed before now. I think we are going to see a significant change in how companies build and sell models before this. I've already seen some adopt selling SLT (the model) files or create a print-to-order service. I do not think this tech is going away anytime soon and I'm excited to see what that means for the hobby and hobbyists' creativity that can now be unleashed and shared like never before.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I'm thinking of investing in a new one because it has a larger build plate and it prints faster. I'm finishing my basement with the intention of when it's done spending the money. Does anyone else have any experience with 3D printing?</p>Big_Williehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09005950810942158477noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-60724107531271579.post-69721942100455868762019-07-06T10:39:00.002-07:002019-07-06T10:39:57.853-07:00German Grenadiers vs Brit Tanks in Encounter<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpX1aKkcc_lTBmco72KvBE3ee6KBo9Hc91UmxuvkA4hJtZQDpCzjw48SXAg_ot-5a0rxpHv26DJJyx3_u_ESora2C5Sn6xeiNGgBGtHShR_EC16Bt7FgiYaA8TKjeA63KNDQE8XjAs7KE/s1600/IMG_6343.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpX1aKkcc_lTBmco72KvBE3ee6KBo9Hc91UmxuvkA4hJtZQDpCzjw48SXAg_ot-5a0rxpHv26DJJyx3_u_ESora2C5Sn6xeiNGgBGtHShR_EC16Bt7FgiYaA8TKjeA63KNDQE8XjAs7KE/s640/IMG_6343.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />

A target rich environment!</div>
<br />
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.<br />

Talk about an outstanding game that allowed all sorts of fire and movement! In the end the game was a 3-3 draw with heavy losses on both sides. In retrospect I would have been a little more careful with the Grenadier platoon to make sure they weren't hung out to dry. If I had waited a few turns they could have advanced with the Tiger and KV in support which would have made them much more dangerous.</div>

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.

With the final push defeated on the right flank the Tiger begins to advance again against the US Armoured Recce platoon</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
In the end both Shawn and I had lost many a platoon but the unwillingness of my HMG platoon kept the Company in the fight. The 3+ last stand is very helpful for the smaller German platoons. Once again the 8-Rads spearhead and being able to secure key woods allowing for forward deployment was critical in the 4-3 win. Shawn was super aggressive and I felt like a boxer who never really gets to start swinging because they are dodging for so much of the fight.</div>

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!<br />

Sherry Atkinson roars "Open Fire!" As Canadian AT guns shred US tanks crested on a nearby hill</div>
<br />
Game 1 of the Lords of War de-escalation tournament was 90 points and I was against Denis and his beautifully painted and modelled American tanks. I had decided to bring my first Flames of War Army MW Canadians (using the rules in Armoured Fist) modelled after the 1st Company of The Royal Canadian Regiment (The RCR) who landed in Sicily, 75 years ago this July. If you haven't read the story about Op HUSKY and Sherry Atkinson, the AT platoon commander, check it out <a href="https://covering-fire.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html">here</a>. The tournament was using the battle plans system where both players select defender, manoeuvre or attack and depending on what each player selected you roll on a different chart to determine the mission you are going to play. I elected to defend with my infantry while Denis wanted to attack with his tanks. We rolled Hasty Attack and started setting up.<br />

The assault is unable to kill any infantry so the Canadians break contact after successfully passing their motivation. The situation caused a fair amount of discussion on how stands break off from an assault and if it is 6.1" and then stop or must move at least 6.1". In this case I was not able to have an orderly withdrawal of my forces into new fighting positions despite rolling a successful motivation.</div>

The game ended with us running out of time and both of us ended up with loser points 3-1. It was a brilliant game and a load of fun to play. Denis' army looks great with all sorts of details in the figures, which I always find to be the icing on the cake when playing a great opponent. </div>

This last weekend Lords of War held a Flames of War MW de-escalation tournament. We played 3 games starting at 90, then 71 and finally 50 points. This drop in points is excellent for allowing the games to finish faster and making sure that as players get tired the games go faster. As always the guys a Lords of War were fantastic and they run a very tight ship for their tournaments. I will be doing battle reports for my games in the coming days but in the mean time here are some pictures of peoples armies.<br />

My third game of the <a href="http://www.beastsofwar.com/team-yankee/stripes-campaign-live-now/">Firestorm: Stripes</a> campaign was against Shawn and his 64 point Russian Afghansty. This time the NATO players are on the offensive and I won the roll and became the attacker. I decided to attack from Munster into the WARSAW held area of Essen with the intention of knocking 5VP away from the WARSAW. Shawn opted to have a static defence and we rolled No Retreat.</div>

With the Russian defensive fire being so strong the turn I assault it almost cost me that platoon, so I pulled back and oriented the Milans to cover the back side of the table while hammering the dug in Infantry with M109s, LARs and Fast Air. The result was a Shawn losing about 4-5 stands a bombardment so we called the game 6-1 for the West Germans.</div>

The West German counter attack had been so fierce that it had continued through Essen and into the Ruhr taking 10 VPs in total away from the WARSAW pack!

For my second game of the <a href="https://firestormstripes.warconsole.com/">Firestorm Stripes</a> campaign I played against Dean and his East Germans. This was the first game in the second group of games where the focus of the Soviet players was to complete the encirclement. Dean rolled to be attacking and elected to try and complete the encirclement of some NATO areas by attacking Hildesheim. I elected to try a static defence, vs a counter attack. We were once again playing 64 point armies and had the chance to play at our FLGS, <a href="http://www.lordsofwargames.com/">Lords of War</a>. If you are in the GTA check them out, its worth the drive!<br />

The T72 formation broke and the East German infantry were 2 stands away from breaking but I had to go so we called the game a tie and rolled to see who won for the campaign. In a stroke of luck Dean rolled a 1 giving NATO the win and allowing the prevention of an encirclement. I'm really looking forward to when Team Yankee and Flames of War v4 are the same set of rules, the minor differences really slow down game play as players have to remember which set of rules is which.</div>

Firestorm Stripes! I was finally able to play my first game of the new Team Yankee Campaign being put on by Beast of War, <a href="https://firestormstripes.warconsole.com/">Firestorm Stripes</a>! Because all my Americans are painted to fight in the desert I decided to play my West Germans. Our FLGS, <a href="http://www.lordsofwargames.com/">Lords of War</a>, signed up to allow us to play the campaign. The first game of the evening saw the Russian advance roll over the British in Hanover. My first game was against Shawn and his Red Army, we agreed to play 64 points with me defending in the Liepzig sector against a Hasty Attack.<br />

<br />
I have been reading a lot of comments where players are complaining about how good or bad air power is in Team Yankee. While I admit that I am no expert I would like to think that I may have some good ideas on how to get the most out of the Fly boys on the battlefield. So the big question is should you take air power and if you do take it, what should you take and how do you use them?<br />
<br />
Air power is not all singing and all dancing, it can be very powerful but it has limitations. Despite what we have all heard since Gulf War I, Air Power will not win a battle for you. However, Air Power can still be a massive force multiplier you may just need to adjust your thinking about how you use it.<br />
<br />
Air can be for used as a weapon<br />

<a name='more'></a>I see air power broken into 3 distinct groups. They are Fast Air, Attack Helicopters, and Transport Helicopters.<br />
<br />
Fast Air and Attack Helicopters can be further broken down based on the weapons they have. I consider these sub-groups to be: Suppression of Enemy Air Defence or SEAD and Close Air Support or CAS for Fast Air and SEAD and Close Combat Attack or CCA for Attack Helicopters.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
EA F4 conducting SEAD with a Maverick</div>
<br />
SEAD is done by special aircraft supported by jamming and HARM weapons which are designed to suppress the air defence by targeting the radars and launchers, however for this article SEAD will mean how you deal with the enemies air defence from a distance. CAS/CCA is how you attack the enemy from up close. I know that it is a combat team scale game but it might make an interesting addition to Team Yankee v2 to have EA aircraft as well.<br />
<br />
The Hind is the only helicopter that can attack and transport at the same time. The Lynx can do both but not at the same time so depending on how you want to use it, read the section that applies accordingly. Stormtrooper Nick is going to do a couple of articles on how to conduct an Air Assault and how to defend against one in the coming months.<br />
<br />
A few key points to consider when building your Army with Air Power:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>When you only have one platoon of tanks and your enemies whole army fires all their anti-tank weapons at them, they are likely going to be destroyed quickly. The same is true about your air power, if there is only a few they won't last long.</li>
<li>All platoons determine if they are in good spirits in the same way, so if you only have two machines and you lose one they are no longer in good spirits and must test for morale. This has has led me to believing that bigger platoons are better.</li>
<li>They are taken as part of your support (with the exception of Attack Helicopters for the US Armoured Cav who can take a flight of choppers as part of their formation). So losing them won't affect formation morale.</li>
</ul>
<br />
A few key points to consider when employing your Army's Air Power:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Fast Air is called in on a 4+ roll each turn with Harriers coming in on a 3+ so you won't be able to count on them all the time. </li>
<li>Your helicopters are on the board all the time once they have been deployed. Where you deploy them should be influenced initially by if they are SEAD or CAS/CCA.</li>
</ul>
<br />
The type of aircraft doesn't determine the role as much as the weapons it is carrying. For instance the US Cobra has TOW missiles, a chain gun, and a single shot salvo. This means it can perform SEAD and then move forward and conduct CCA as required. A simply way to think about it is any weapon that lets you shoot from a long way away (read Maverick, TOW, HOT) is meant to conduct SEAD initially.<br />
<br />
All aircraft can support your SEAD efforts by having the platoon commander act as a spotter for your artillery which can then provide further suppression of the enemies dedicated AA.<br />
<br />
Any weapon that you need to use up close is for CAS. It is <b>absolutely critical</b> that you conduct SEAD before you conduct CAS. Otherwise you will have CAS or CCA aircraft getting hammered by a still functioning air defence umbrella.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Fast Air, SEAD</u></b> is performed by two Fast Air units the A-10s and the SU-25s. Like I've said before both are also equipped with weapons that allow them do conduct CAS as well.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
The A-10's Maverick missile allow it to smash tank units from far away and they can see anywhere on the board so the trick is to position them at maximum range from AA where terrain blocks the number of AA units that can conduct defensive fire. Once the missiles have done their job you and eliminated the dedicated AA threat you will be able to chose to move closer to use your cluster bombs and 30mm gun. I will say that one of my bigger criticisms of the air power is how the VADS has a stationary ROF of 7 for a very similar gun. I think that the moving ROF for the A-10 should also be 7. It seems downright unnatural that the Tornado and British Harrier are better at taking out enemy armoured formations.<br />

Like the A-10's Maverick Missile the Kh-25 is perfect for engaging enemy dedicated AA initially from distant. The Frogfoot can then move up to conduct CAS or continue to use the Kh-25 against hardened armoured targets.</div>

<u><b>Fast Air, CAS</b></u> is defined by the short range of the weapons from the aircraft for this article they include the British and USMC Harriers and the West German Tornadoes. All of these planes have the same issue, they have to get close to strike!<br />

Harriers coming in on a 3+ is a massive advantage and with their AT 8 against top armour and 3+ firepower they are great at taking out large numbers of enemy tanks.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Like the Cobra the Hind can engage from far off and conduct SEAD and then advance and conduct CCA. Unlike the Cobra it does not have the Hunter-Killer rule but it can carry 2 stands of infantry. Those stands can capture objectives, making them a triple threat.</div>
<br />
<u><b>Transport Helicopters</b></u> are the US Twin Huey, the British Lynx and the USSR Hind. They can carry 4, 3, and 2 stands respectively. The real advantage these machine provide is the threat of being able to drop infantry anywhere on the battlefield in 2 turns. This forces your opponent to hold forces for rear area security that they would otherwise be able to commit to destroying your forces and taking objectives.<br />

Twin Huey being escorted by a Cobra</div>
<br />
The Hind is able to provide it's own escort but does so at the cost of passenger capacity. Air Power is that it can be devastating when used with some finesse.<br />
<br />
Should you take air power? Yes. The models are just way to awesome not too.<br />
<br />
The key points to remember regardless of the nation you playing with, are:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>If you are going to take air power you will likely want to take more than one platoon. So plan on both air planes and helicopters. </li>
<li>You will need to make sure you have something that can conduct SEAD. Make sure that you are targeting the enemies dedicated AA above the stock APCs and heavy armour. </li>
<li>Position SEAD air platforms in a way to limit AA return fire and conduct the engagements from maximum range so the luck .50 cal shot can't happen. </li>
<li>Have more than a platoon of 2 machines to stop the aircraft from breaking after the first plane is shot down.</li>
</ul>
<br />
If you're playing Americans either the A-10 or the Cobra can do both SEAD and CAS/CCA. If you want to take the Harriers I recommend something to support them for SEAD. The M109s that have the range to hit the whole table, use them.<br />
<br />
The USSR is the same way with the Frogfoot and the Hind both being able to do SEAD and CAS/CCA. The USSR has Carnations, Acacias, and Hail rockets all of which are useful for SEAD.<br />
<br />
For the West Germans and the British the Attack Helicopters are needed to conduct SEAD while the Fast Air conducts CAS. The SEAD can be supported by the M109s and their MLRS for the Germans and the Abbots for the British.<br />
<br />

The game ended at the beginning of turn 6 with the USMC taking down the US Army 6-1. Having the 5 tanks in a platoon was again great for keeping the M60s around but the MVP had to be the Marine and his rifle. A platoon advanced directly into two Mechanised platoons and took them both out including the supporting M113s. After having seen the Marines in action, I will be making sure they are closing with and destroying the enemy instead of holding back like I did with the first two games.</div>

My second game of the Kingston Gaming Nexus' 64 point Team Yankee tournament was against Dean and his East German and Russian force. The tournament was using the battle plans and more missions so once again I decided to go all in and attack. Dean elected to manoeuvre which meant I was attacking and we rolled Encounter.<br />

Marines arrive from reserve conducting an air assault on the the objective</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
So I'm not sure I really understand how the helicopter transport rules work and if they make sense.At first I thought that they stayed in the air, but apparently they land at the end of the movement step. The significance is that less guns can shoot at helicopters that remain in the air but passengers are automatically killed if the bird is shot down. I still this that troops should be able to exit a helicopter on the turn it lands with a successful follow me order. Because neither of us were able to secure the others objective we both lost which meant our battle scores were 3-1 respectively. Dean was a save throw machine and I failed to bring enough firepower to bear on either objective. I think next time I will look to conduct an assault earlier. </div>

Leathernecks secure the LZ and an objective!</div>
<br />
This weekend I had the chance to play in the Kingston Gaming Nexus' 64 point Team Yankee Tournament. Nexus has an fantastic set up and the tables and armies looked great. Ian organised a very well organized and run event with 10 players. The tournament used the more missions rules from Battle Front. I was paired against Ross and his West Germans, I figured that playing USMC meant I should be on the attack, so I chose to do so and he chose to manoeuvre. Which lead to us rolling Encounter as the mission.<br />

We ran out of time here with both Ross and I losing. We had both destroyed several of the other armies platoons so battle points the score was 3-3. I had an absolute wonderful time playing this game, it was a real nail bitter. Looking back I should have started moving my big infantry platoon out much earlier to threaten the objective as the big platoon could have crushed the much smaller West German platoon.As a modeling aside, I need to move the magnets for my Sea Knights forward in the hull so they balance on their flight stands when the in flight rotor disks are attached.</div>

<br />
Game 3 of the Lords of War 80 point MW tournament was against Matt and his Stuart horde in No Retreat. My entire force is mechanised and while Matt had way more tanks than I did but he also had an entire infantry formation as part of his army which meant that I would be attacking. The deep immediate reserves were going to work in my favour limiting Matt to only a single tank platoon.<br />

The game ended with the Armoured Rifles winning 8-1. I noticed that this mission and Matt's army list really didn't help him. By having the infantry it meant he was defending but it also meant he could only have a single tank platoon on. I think had he had an ARP attached without the other formation he may have been the attacker. </div>

Game 2 of the Lords of War MW 80 point tournament was against Dean and his DAK infantry. This would mark my second ever game of v4. Again I'm sure that I made mistakes but I would like to think that I'm slowly starting to understand the mechanics of v4. The mission was Counterattack which was going to make it hard on Dean as he would have to race me across the desert to secure the far objective and I would be mounted.<br />

The game ended at the beginning of turn 6 with a 8-1 US win. I think the mission, terrain and Dean's army list really played against him in this case. Having to try and make it to a far objective when you're walking and your opponent is riding in a half track makes for an uphill battle. To make matters worse Dean suffered some horrible luck with the dice for at least two turns. I think that I had a better handle on the rules (or at least what I thought were the rules). I still need to get back into the book and reread the rules.</div>

My first game of v4 was as part of the Lords of War 80 point MW tournament. I've been playing Team Yankee and had played v3 so I figured I'd be good. I was lucky enough to be paired with Craig who was going to help guide me through this voyage of discovery with his Desert Rat tanks.<br />

The game ended in a tie so we were both losers. I had killed one platoon and Craig had killed 2 giving him the edge in points (2-1). Craig was a great guide through v4, I think I need to read the rules again. I've found since the game there was a number of things that I did completely wrong:<br />
<br />
1. The ARP mortar can fire like a normal gun battery and could have continually pinned the 25 pdrs.<br />
2. I could have targeted the ground making sure that I hit all for of the guns.<br />
3. I should have advanced with my ARP on the left as soon as Craig moved his Crusaders to counter my already advancing ARP.</div>

Lords of War 80 MW tournament ahead!</div>
<br />
Yesterday I had the chance to play in the Lords of War MW 80 point tournament in Oakville. This was my first time playing v4 so I'm sure that I made a bunch of mistakes but I had a great time and as always Lords of War is a great place to play games. I have battle reports coming but here are some of the armies and some actions shots. The calibre of the finished armies was incredible and it looks awesome to see them facing off against each other.<br />

West German Infantry dug in securing the objective</div>
<br />
The final 50 point game for the Lords of War deescalation tournament was against Jay and his British Armour. This was the last game of the tournament and being infantry I was more than happy to secure the objectives and let Jay try and pull it out of my hands. This mission is a little different as it uses Ambush (defender), Immediate Reserves (attacker), and Scattered Reserves (defender). In addition, the attacker places 2 objectives and the defender places on in their own table half and then before the start of the game after all forces have been deployed the attacker removes one of the objectives they placed. I chose my Leo1s to go into ambush and hoped that my infantry and OCs backed with the MLRS would be enough to hold on until the reserves could arrive.<br />

The Leo1s come out of ambush and dash towards the unguarded objective supported by the now mounted M113 infantry. The Brits attempt to adjust to this aggressive move but are either out of range or unable to hit the Leo1s and no reserves arrive to help them. The Leo1s start their turn within 4" and end their turn within giving the West Germans a 6-1 victory.</div>

The Marders realizing their gambit failed continue advancing allowing the Milans to knock out another Chieftain. This Chieftain was critical as it was the only enemy team within 4" of the objective. With the new missions the attacker can win at the end of their turn if their team started within 4" of the objective and if at the end of the turn their are no enemy within 4"</div>

The game ended in a 4-3 win for the West Germans with significant losses felt on both sides of the battlefield. Craig as always was a consummate gentleman, and I think given his army composition he may have been better off attacking. A big lesson for me was just how tough Brit Infantry can be when they are in bullet-proof cover. I also think that I'm misusing the BO105s and I will have to work at using them better.</div>

Game 1 of the Lords of War deescalation tournament was 100 points and I had a chance to plan against Matt. This was going to be the first game of Team Yankee with my newly almost finished painted West Germans. This army is the first one I've painted using an air brush and I really enjoyed it, I will have some tutorials coming.<br />

More jets take out the Leo1 OC while the Infantry mop up the final tanks and combined Arty fire take out the remaining MLRS. By the end of the turn the Half Marder platoon is the only thing left and they decide that discretion is the greater part of valour.</div>

Some pretty big lessons learned in this game.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Luchs and Spearhead mean you can actually expand your deployment zone and position other platoons in a better area for deployment. Make sure you use your Recce!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Strike Aircraft come in on a 4+ not FoW 5+.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Infantry teams inside of transports get their 3+ save not a 5+ save.</div>

The final game of the Lords of War 80 point Team Yankee tournament was against Jay and his British tanks. We were playing Encounter and this was going to be the first time that I faced off against the Brits. I've been told that their infantry are tough and their tanks are only slightly easier. Jay's army looked awesome and I find that is what truly makes the game enjoyable, when two well painted armies clash on a good looking battlefield.</div>

The Chieftains are an amazing tank, heavy armour and a very good gun but a little slow and without stabilisers. I have a very healthy respect for them now and appreciate that getting flank shots is the key for taking these guys out. As it stands both Jay and I lost with a score of 3-1. Had I been a little more aggressive I think I could have gotten to the objective sooner instead of running out of time. I've also come to realise how important it is to get within 8" when fighting against guided missiles. Both the Milans and the Swing Fire teams couldn't hurt my tanks within 8".</div>

USMC Tanks light up the advancing Red Tide!</div>
<br />
Game 2 of the 80 point Team Yankee tournament at Lords of War was against Shaun and his East Germans. This was my first time playing a No Retreat mission and with deep immediate reserves it meant that I was only going to have 4 M1s on the table to start. Hopefully they would be able to hold off the East Germans until the other tanks could arrive.<br />

Shaun was a fantastic opponent as always, I was lucky with a couple of rolls and he was unlucky with a couple, otherwise this game would have turned out differently. Also, we started not using the night fighting rules where Shaun dashed forward, there was some confusion so we restarted with night fighting only to find out after everyone had moved that we didn't need to play night fighting. So we didn't. I'm curious to see how different the game would have been with either a dash move to start or night fighting. As it was I squeaked out a 5-2 thanks to a solid platoon commander not willing to run.</div>

USMC M1 catches West Germans tanks dashing for cover!</div>
<br />
My first game of the 80 point tournament at Lords of War was against Matt and his West Germans. The first mission was Encounter and this would be my first ever Team Yankee tournament game and my third game of Team Yankee so I was hoping that I could remember the rules. Matt had a beautifully painted army, which is always a real pleasure to play against.<br />
