One of my old bosses taught me a little truism I still trot out to this day when there's dice flying around the table:
"It's a game about a war, not a war about a game."
Feels like one to try and remember a little more regularly!

2nd squad of Stahltruppen finished. Set these guys up as a heavy weapons squad with LMGs and an anti-tank gun. Just have to finish the leader and that'll be all the starter box German infantry finished. #k47 #paintingminiatures #paintingfigures #warlordgames

Finished my first unit of Stahltruppen for Konflict 47. Have to replace one panzerfaust that got knocked into oblivion, and apply some flock, THEN they'll really be done. Paintings finished. #Konflict47 #Warlordgames #paintingfigures #paintingminiatures
