DAK back in the USA at Oklahoma City National Qualifiers!!! mkl

Well, I am back in the USA for a while and now have played my last 3 version 2 games. Just after cleaning up yet before the anouncements I acquired my soft copy version 3 rule book. I played 2 great players from Oklahoma City (OKC) whom are regulars. I had a great time and loved getting back into the tounament scene. The games were good (I went 1-2) (vp 2-5, 4-3, 2-5) and had tons of fun!! The last game was an accurate 21st Panzer versus 22nd Armoured Brigade on a desert board. Here is my 1625 point DAK Schutzen list. There are 3 objectives (Oasis, Suez Canal, and 21st Panzer emblem) and my more realistic flying stands. Can't wait for the next one!!

DAK reinforcements in the desert!! mkl

The DAK force in Egypt just received some reinforcements. 2 Panzer IV F1, 2 Panzer III G and 3 Panzer III N. Along with the armour is most of the core of a Panzerspah company. 3 SdKfz 223 (radio), 1 SdKfz 231 (8-rad), 1 SdKfz 221 (mg) and 2 SdKfz 222. With the forces I already have I can make the core of a Panzerspah company and the 21st Panzer only armoured cars. Infantry now on the table and hopefully done by the end of the night. In the picture the hot Egyptian sun is making the shadows while I used the flash to brighten up the fronts.

DAK is on the move in Egypt!!! mkl

These are tanks for the 21st Panzer Division 5th Panzer Regiment. There are 5 Panzer III with one M, 2 J lates, and 2 G models. There are also 2 Sd Kfz 222 and 1 Sd Kfz 231 (8-rad) armoured cars. I followed the GW paint guide in the Afrika book and then did an Ogryn wash with bit more Kommando Khaki dry brush. The numbers and symbols are all brushed so I take full credit for the ones which look good and of course the ones which look bad. The numbering is not all form the same unit is on purrpose. I am trying to do a force from the time period of the First Battle of El Alamein. By this time the armour in the DAK was depleted. I wanted to show that this unit was made from several depleted units. My infantry force has a bit of armour support. The armoured cars I love and will create a Panzerspah company in the future. For now they are the eyes of the schutzen company from the 104th Schutzen Regiment 2nd Schutzen Battalion.
