Painted a Mech Company in winter verdant MERDC. I'm not tremendously happy with the outcome although they are as we used to say "servicable." I was getting tired and rushed the black and sand and didn't really do a good job. I was trying to keep them all in the same pattern and it just didn't work out. Other issue is the wash darkened them too much. Here are a couple of examples;

The sale gave me an opportunity to order some M60A1s to round out the mixed battalion so I'll have 1 Mech Company and two Armor Companies. Some of the M60s will also do double duty as the tank sections of an Armored Cav Troop.
Tactics are the opinion of the senior officer present.

That is a very nice job, Cav Dog. It's late evening winter in West Germany. That's what they look like!

Very nice work, Chris. Your black and sand are too prominent. Need a finer brush.

Well done Chris! I'm still struggling with my colors but hopefully I will have something that looks pretty decent in a few days! Your tanks look great!

Yeah, I know to minimize the black and certainly the sand/tan/beige.
