Catch-ups....

It's been a while since my last post. A lot of things happens in-between these time. Our Legio Operation Bagration Campaign has ended last week. The German team have total control of the territories & the Soviet team have defended their lands with all it's might...yet the Germans surfaces as the overall victor. Its a wonderful games played & enjoyed by all players. Last night, a small ceremony held to acknowledged all the blood, sweat & tears, & we received our 1st actual medal...OOOOOYYYEEEEAAHHHH!!!! A big cheers to Khairul & Jeff for organizing this campaign & the effort they've put for the medal.






So, straight away our club organized a small campaign; the Tank Aces Campaign & the first battle was fought yesterday night as well. Basically, each player will fought as American (Allied) or German (Axis), starting with 500pts for Turn 1. Turn 1 will be running for 2 weeks (yesterday & next Friday).


I'm playing as American 7th Armoured Division Tank Company, commanded by Lieutenant Shukur 'No-One' as the Tank Ace (honestly, I've no idea how I came up with that name..hehehe). So far, I've managed to achieve 1 ability in the 1st Turn. Yet, the German do have a formidable commander which we, the American need to come up with tactic to fought the said commander in the next battle ;) hehehehe




Well, that's for now.
Till the next update.
Cheers.

Achievement Medals

As a request by Khairul (maybe others as well), here's are the medals I've made. I got the inspiration to do the medals after Jeff mentioning it the other days, so I just try it out. I'm not that familiar using Adobe Photoshop & other design softwares, so the design are somewhat plain. Maybe if I can get someone with the skill who able to design them better, it may come handy somedays :)

The first badge is Flames of War Newbie Gamer. This badge is created as a reward for a complete beginner (as myself) who able to fullfill these criterias:
1. Built a playable army list (1k pts minimum to 2k pts max)
2. Paint the whole army in the list (at least fullfill the minimum requirement tabletop gaming standard - base colored, undercoated, minimum 2 color painted, better if able to fully complete them with details & decals)
3. Play a game using the army list (whether you win or not)


The next medal is the Operation Market Garden Campaign Medal. This medal is a token to indicate that the player has participated & played the campaign (minimum played halfway through the campaign). I tried to find a nice picture showing the iconic bridge of Arnhem & parachutes in the background, but I couldn't find it. So, in the end I just picked a parachute picture for the medal, symbolic for the major involvement of paratroopers in the historical campaign.



As you can see, the pictures used in these medal & badge are familiar, so I wouldn't take credit for any of it. The copyrights of these pictures are solely at their respective owners & I just used it for personal interest (for the club members as well, but not for public distribution). I welcome any comments & critiques for improvements. Hopefully by next campaign, I'm able to make a nice medal for it :)

Cheers.
