Enough Led to Build my Own Tank! Or Kill Superman!

Well I finish up the next stage of my Jagdpanthers thought it might be fun to show all the led that I have unpainted.  Yikes...why do I even ever buy more?  It was really funny hearing the WWPD guys talk about the exact same thing.

So, I made a list of all the armies I can build, and took pictures of all my unpainted led.

Its probably a good thing my wife loves me.  I do spend a lot of money on this stuff, but luckily most of it was paid for by selling A LOT of old hobbies.  I had a huge D&D miniatures collection, and I had close to 200 board games.  All gone to finance FoW.

That shelf in the first picture used to be jam packed with board games.  I didn't have enough room to fit them all.  Now nothing but FoW stuff. 
















Needless to say I'm now exclusively Flames of War and World in Flames.
And as my friends tell you I don't ever do anything half assed. 

Talking to my new buddies in Saskatoon and Edmonton at the last tournament, a lot of them say "my 2 armies"  This always makes me laugh.  This made me make up list of all the armies I can build.  I'm sure there are some I'm missing because of cross overs.

To be honest, because there is no one here in Regina that plays, except Sylvain, and my friends do like to play it, i'm trying to collect every single Mid War and Late War army for the eastern front.  Then not only can I play the perfect Firestorm Campaign, I can build a mega campaign that spans most of the war.


Hopefully my boy will be old enough to play in a few years and he will enjoy the fruits of my obsession.

  2. lol unfortunately not. If I were, I'd have everything. No this is just a accumulation of all my gaming over the last 25 years.

    I sold or traded nearly everything just to buy more FoW.

  3. And I thought I was crazy to model two different airborne companies - Pegasus bridge and Arnhem. Now I feel better because I have company in my obsession!
