Great photos of awesome painted miniatures!

What rules were you going to use? Fate of a Nation?

Have you been able to find sufficient additional figures at 15mm to complete a nice range of IDF and Arab nations armies? If so, would you mind sharing from where (which manufacturers)?

Thanks for posting.

Thanks. Yes I am using the Fate of a Nation rule set. I will be running the game using V4 of the rules as well. I have only been using the Battlefront figs in my armies and have been lucky to get what I have wanted. I have put together a nice Jordan force and 1973 Syrian Force as well. For the Syrian infantry I used Khurastan figs, very well done and very compatable. I also used the Khurastan line for my IDF Centurians for my 1973 game. They make the proper Shot Cal for the timeframe.

Very nice indeed!

Looks like a lot of fun!!!

WOW! THat is a LOT of miniature tanks and they all look great!

such a great collection , looks like u need a much bigger table :-)

Well the table is 18 feet long. The bulk of the Egyptian tanks will be held in delayed reserve. A portion of the IDF tanks will be making a bypass of the MLR and coming in behind the Egyptian defensive position.

Very nice! I must add the Sherman Crab to my force as well. I hadn't thought of using the WW1 trenches for FoaN or the bunkers for the AT guns, I'll have to pinch that idea too. Is Arab artillery off table or don't they have any?

Absolutely magnificent…

Well the table is 18 feet long.

Mine is 16'x7', those are 15mm?

Yes the Egyptians will have off board artillery. The Sherman Crabs do come in handy and I would hope be included in future FON updates. I have plenty of trenches, but the WWI trenches work well for the game, as do the bunkers. It is 15mm.

WOW ! MAGNIFICENT !!!

Incredible!

I cant resist..gotta ask.
How many of just MBT's have you got there and type?

I never thought of using the Sherman 'flails' in a desert scenario.

Thanks for So Many pics!

There are 22 IDF MBTs & 33 Egyptian MBTs

IDF:
Magach 3 x6
M51 Isherman x12
AMX x4

Egyptians:
T34/85: x6
Centurian x8
IS-3M x9
T55s x10

The IDF had great many tank and other variant/specialty vehicles not represented in the game. Not that I would let a little thing like that keep me from using something in a game if it were Historically available and used.

Impressive!

Joe

Thanks Joe….a shame that photobucket has cut things off for others to see. Looks like my days of posting pictures here is over

Yep. Photo bucket has really missed the mark there. Wonder ho it's working out for them

I assume that they wanted to get their cut on all that use their site to share photos on various sites to sell their stuff. But $399.00 USD for one year is ____________. So for those that want to see my pictures see them on facebook.
