Giving the US Army Its Due

Having finished some German and Canadian artillery, I thought it was time to work on some of my American units. 

I found this army box set at my local game store about a year ago. Hard to find now and a good deal. I have been reading about the breakout from Normandy and the Lorraine Campaign and see the potential for some really interesting games. The box set provides you with vehicles to build a 7th Armored Division Tank Company.

In this box set you get 16 vehicles. The contents includes; Company HQ (1 x M4A3E2 Jumbo & Warrior Creighton Abrams with Thunderbolt VII), 2 Tank Platoons (each with 2 x M4A3 (Late), 2 x M4A3 (76 mm), 1 x M4A3E2 Jumbo), and an armored field artillery battery (3 x M7 Priest, 1 x Sherman OP tank).

You also get assorted goodies like; 1 x Easy Eight objective marker, 1 x Chaffee objective marker, 1 x US Armored Token Set, 1 x US dice, 26 rare earth magnets, and 5 x decal sheets.

All in all a very complete package. I don't remember the actual price, but it was much more reasonable than what poses for army box sets now.

So the plan is to tackle one platoon / component at a time and work my way through the box set.
