WarBanner 2016

This year I have decided to travel to Napier/Hastings for Warbanner which is usually a Warhammer event but this year is offering Flames of war. So when my good friend Warren suggested we go up as he has a place to stay sorted I couldn't say no. So we will traveling up on Friday night for the weekends gaming (I will have to tape the Bathurst 1000). The event is 1625pts late war Ive chosen to go with a list out of the Remagen book which has lots of toys i've wanted to use for a while. Purshings, Sherman crocs and jumbos to name a few.

Ready to roll out

My two Sherman Crocs

My C.O and Super Purshing.

Recon and M7 Priest artillery.

Two E8 Sherman's, Jumbo and a 105mm Sherman

And some infantry to sit on an objective or dig out enemy infantry.

Well I hope to be able to Auto attack with my army because of the Crocs so should have my whole army on most of the time. So hopefully I can put the pressure on the defender with being very mobile and dig them out quite quickly before their reserves arrive to counter attack.
