That's a very cool looking game from 2015! What rules did you guys use for the game? I am ashamed to say that I have never been any any wargaming cons :(

As I recall the rules were Micks.

My first large table game was shortly after Yugoslavia broke apart. 7.5 - 8 feet wide, 32 feet long table, late 1990s as I recall.
Had 2 guys playing each of the following groups: Serbs, Croates, Bosnias, couple other I.D.s. The 2 were in an area opposite from each other with one opponent to left, another to the right. A UN relief convoy 30 +/- trucks coming in to go through several towns where the local boss/warlord wanting some of the supplies. Guys had fun.

Eye candy….
Scrub camouflage, started in mid 1990s. As I recall 3 or 4 Cos of M1A1, 2-3 Cos M1A2, 2-4 of Bradleys, etc.

The ASCOD.
For Spain it is known as the Pizzaro, for Austria it is called Ulan. For Britain it is upgraded called AJAX. The Brits are having vibration issues.
In 3-tone NATO, plan for using it for primarily for Austria. Also a few Leopard 2A4 M with the add on armor.

Repainting these vehicles that I picked up a few months ago.
Using Tamiya Deep Green. They were painted in tan, grey, black as in the bottom left Hummv ambulance.
I may apply a brown and black for a 3-tone NATO scheme.

These M60 are like rabbits, I just found these and others in a box. Thought I had painted all.

I am thinking I will apply a slightly different tanish color as this seems a bit too light. It will be more like the picture above.

That's awesome! It must be a good feeling to discover you have an additional full tank company!
