The Panzer II Luchs tanks, 'Lynx' are finished.
I really like the look of these light tanks. I think they'd even make nice 'city breaker' tanks for 15mm scale!
I got a chance to play them and the Stalking Tiger on Friday... and just like in elementary school, where when a kid has brand new shoes everyone steps on the shoes to get them dirty chanting 'new shoes!' my vehicles got smashed. Tiger Walker: first shot of the game it got popped by a sherman. Then the first Lynx also was destroyed before it got to do anything. The 2nd fired at the offending sherman, but with both tanks having moved, reduced the chance to hit so much it wasn't surprising it went foul, then it too was destroyed. Yikes. Not a good first night for the Ahnenerbe Armor! -Forgot to bring my camera, so no battle pictures I'm afraid.
Baby bear did get some revenge though-managed to get to the sherman and two-paw throw it onto a hill, reducing it to rubble and squishing a couple enemy in the process. I'll take what victories I can get.
I'll just be waiting till it's time to pick the winner.

Very nice, I love the dirty/rust effect around the tracks!
Huh, I thought the Panzer 2's got an autocannon. Unless that IS an autocannon, then I must be mistaken.
Excellent work. but a disappointing first outing! Thank goodness for Baby Bear!
Lovely work. New troops alwawys take a while to settle in. Their next battle will be better.
Great painting and models and a victory is a victory especially if they curse or cry.
