| Axis
& Allies Minis to Flames of War Conversions -
Part 1 |
The chronicles
here within detail Brother Tom's effort in the building,
conversion and painting of an all Axis
& Allies Miniatures
force into
an 1750 point, "Late War", Panzer Grenadier Company for
the Flames of War World Warr II miniatures war game. This
entire force was made with miniatures already owned and
used for Axis & Allies miniatures with the additional E-bay
purchase of about $45 for an additional Tiger and 4 Stug-IIIs.
Once the force was shipped and assembled, Brother Tom
began this experimental project in earnest on Friday September
12, 2008.

This is the force
to date that Brother Tom is working non-stop on in the
hopes of converting his billigerent Brother
Brian, an Axis & Allies Miniatures player, to the Flames
of War community. Still waiting on a few more units in
the mail
before priming.

Tiger Conversion with Tank commander and scratch built hatch.
The figure was the Gloiath controler.

New CO and 2IC teams. Note the Kettenrand with driver conversion.
This will have to serve as the 2IC's Motorcycle/Side Car.

This "Diorama" was
made to serve as an Objective marker. Note Goliath control
cut down
to be the jeep driver.

This
will be the other Objective marker. It's a Soviet ZIS truck
ammo boxes. The Germans used a lot of captured
Soviet gear so this will be painted with German colors and
markings. I will load the bead of the truck with Goliaths
and will have a Goliath on the ground getting ready to be
loaded. No troops in the "Diorama" and my intent
is that in looks like an ammo cache.

A new Field Artillery Observe team. I did not like the figure,
but at least you clearly know what he is and what he's doing.

The full artillery battery.
