The French Colonial Project

For the pair of Operation Goalpost scenarios I am running at Pacificon 2012 I am painting up some new Moroccans and some French Foreign Legion which will oppose the Allied Torch Landings.  The minis themselves are Essex 1/300 and I used Vallejo and Polly paints. Painting really is an understated form of mental relaxation in terms of locking out all the noise and just isolating yourself with your thoughts.

I have done the primer and and first coat.  Tomorrow night I will do a slight wash to raise detail and then finish the guns, flesh and gear, an even slighter wash and finally base them then give them a quick blast of glossy finish and voila.....French Colonials!!

Pacificon Almost Here

Can't wait for the Operation Goalpost scenarios at Pacificon.  I need to paint my colonial French and have to consult my painting guides!

Panzer Korps Solo Scenario

As you can see from the green dots, I have identified 5/8 formations needed to achieve victory.  With some decent luck on my right the Somuas are keeping an AFV and armored recce battalion from a flank attack to disrupt my info gathering.
