Panzer V 'Panther' Tanks with Finishing Touches and Pictures

The nice thing about taking the time to building a small lightbox to take your pictures in, is that they turn out great. The right balance of light and a digital camera make all the difference. The Panther Company I have had sitting incomplete is finally done. You likely saw them in progress this week while I have had some spare time to paint.

With the dust settling from Canadian Nationals here in Ottawa, there will be another event right around the corner as the summer season comes to an end. Dust off your armor and shelf your infantry.

The event will be 1750 points and a LW event, more info to follow and check out the poster on our events page!

In November, Petawawa Miniature Soldiers will be hosting their annual LW event as well, you can find all the info for that November event right here. Thanks to Bob McBride and Gary Perkins for all their help.
That event will use the Battlefront Limit of 1900 points and is always a good time whenever we get up there to play from Ottawa.

Won't be needing these guys for this event....

Tank Gunnery 101 (by: Major(Ret) G. Barling)

From the inception of the tank in 1916 up to the present time, tank gunnery essentially consists of two activities. First, either the gunner or the crew commander (depending on the type of tank) tries to determine the range to the target.
