The following armybuilder files had an update to version (3v1.1).
US Airborne:
NUTS - 101st Airborne Division Parachute Rifle Company (3v1.1)
NUTS - 101st Airborne Division Engineer Combat Company (3v1.1)
NUTS - 101st Airborne Division Engineer Combat Company (3v1.1)
A reader of my blog, Lancelot, pointed out to me that in these files the points for the M18 Hellcat tank-destroyer platoon were wrong. These are fixed now.

US Files

UK & Commonwealth:
Market Garden - Canadian Division Rifle Company (3v1.1)
Market Garden - 52nd (Lowland) Division Rifle Company (3v1.1)
In these files I found that the .50cal MG of the transport section of the Rifle platoons showed no stats on the OoB sheet.
And 1 Canadian Armoured platoon and 1 Canadian Armoured Recce platoon didn't show the Motivation and skill in the OoB sheet.
All bugs are fixed.

UK & Commonwealth Files

Because it is still bizarre weather over-here I still can't paint any of my miniatures. So instead I updated and made some more new Spreadsheet Armybuilder Files.
First the ones I updated. These 3 Files contained so many errors I had to rebuilt them completely.
Market Garden - 1st Airborne Division Parachute Company (3v1.0)
Market Garden - 1st Airborne Division Airlanding Company (3v1.0)
Market Garden - Frost's Perimeter Force (3v1.0)

Next we have a list with all new British Spreadsheet Armybuilder Files

Updated and new British files can be found here: UK and Commenwealth Army Files


There is also one new Polish Spreadsheet Armybuilder File
Market Garden - Polish Parachute Company (3v1.0)
This new file can be found here: Allied Army Files

Thanks for reading.

All British and Canadian Market Garden army files except the British Airborne army files are replaced by new army files.
All US Market Garden and NUTS army files are replaced by new army files.
The German Bridge by Bridge - 107. Panzerbrigade Panzerkompanie (3v1.0) is replaced by a new army file.

In all these files the stats for the self defence anti-aircraft AA MG or .50 cal AA MG were wrong.
Replaced them by the correct one. 

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I will update these stats for the Turning Tide files when the new book is released.

Thanks for reading

The last several weeks I have been making a lot of new army files. This mainly because the weather overhere is too bad to do any painting (can't prime the models). So instead of painting I spend more time on making army files. The reason it is such a long list of new army files and I have not posted them earlier is because I also needed time to place them on my own webpage for download. By placing them on my own website it is easier to download the files. Each army has it's own webpage, links to these pages can be found below my blog name. There is one page for the US Files, one for the UK & Commonwealth Files and one for the German Files. The Allied Files link will still bring you to the old page for download but will also get a new webpage soon. This also means that links that brought you to my pages in older blog posts no longer will work.

This has been the first time I made some German army files so I started with some easy ones.
From the Bridge by Bridge armybook:
-Bridge by Bridge - 107. Panzerbrigade Panzerkompanie (3v1.0)
-Bridge by Bridge - 559. Schwere Panzerjagerabteilung Schwere Panzerjagerkompanie (3v1.0)
From the NUTS armybook:
-NUTS - 653. Schwere Panzerjagerabteilung Panzerjagerkompanie (3v1.0)


And then there is a long list of British army files from the Market Garden armybook:
-Market Garden - 1st Airborne Division Parachute Company (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - 1st Airborne Division Airlanding Company (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - Frost's Perimeter Force (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - Commando (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - 11th Armoured Division Armoured Squadron (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - Guards Armoured Division Armoured Squadron (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - 2nd Houshold Cavalry Armoured Car Squadron (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - Inns of Court Armoured Car Squadron (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - 52nd (Lowland) Division Rifle Company (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - Canadian Division Rifle Company (3v1.0)

Then last for the US Airborne from the Market Garden armybook:
-Market Garden - Airborne Divisions Glider Rifle Company (3v1.0)

And for those who have missed it an update:
-Market Garden - 101st Airborne Division Parachute Rifle Company (3v1.1)

For download just click on one of the links below my blog name that correspond with country the army file belongs to. 

Thanks for reading.

I built the first army files from the new Market Garden book. Yep I bought the set with both books. But before I go the files I like to tell a little about these new books.
First Market Garden. This book contains all the allied army lists from the old "Hell's Highway" and "A Bridge Too Far" books and old Market Garden PDF briefings. The book also contains new army lists, army lists based on the Battle of the Scheldt. These are mostly Canadian lists but also a few British.
The Bridge by Bridge book. Like the Market Garden book this book contains all the army list from the old "Hell's Highway" and "A Bridge Too Far" books. Beside that there are several new lists included that saw action during Operation Market Garden. There are no specific lists for the Battle of the scheldt.
In both books the old army list from "Hell's Highway" and "A Bridge Too Far" books and PDF briefings have been updated with new stats, new points and even some new Company diagrams.
The look of the books. The layout of the books is great.The books have a hard cover and a sewn spine. They are sturdy. The lists in the books are, in my opinion, nice lists. There is not much wrong about these.
The biggest problem I have with the books is the many errors they contain. A few errors I don't mind, nobody is perfect, but there are more then just a few errors and some are just big errors. My personally opinion is that the proofreaders did a sloppy job. By just opening the book I already saw some errors, I didn't even have to read the book to see them.

On to the army-files I built.
The first 2 new army files from Market Garden I built are;
-Market Garden - 82nd Airborne Division Parachute Rifle Company (3v1.0)
-Market Garden - 101st Airborne Division Parachute Rifle Company (3v1.0)
In the "Hell's Highway" book the Parachute Rifle Company was 1 army list in which you could select which division you liked to play with some different options. In the new Market Garden book it are now 2 different army lists and both lists are now very different compared to the old one.
Something I like to note is that you should read the Notes sheet of the files because these contain important information.

Links to download both army files can be found here: US Files

I now going to slowly work my way through the book and update the old allied "Hell's Highway" and Market Garden PDF briefings to new army files. In between I will also built some new ones. If I will built army files for the Germans in the Bridge by Bridge book is something I doubt I will do.

Thanks for reading.

First the new army file. It is for the 1st Polish Armoured Division PDF. I started with this file when there wasn't even talk about Flames of War version 3. I was already half way when I decided to quit with making any new army files. Now with the V3 rules and the fact that Wayne updated the PDF briefing I decided to finish this army file including the new layout.

The first updated file is the army file for the Polish Forces in Italy, 1944 (PDF). This one is updated because Wayne has, like the 1st Polish Armoured Division PDF, also updated this PDF. And because I had to update the army file I also gave it the new layout.

The second updated file is army file for the NUTS - 101st Airborne Division. There was a minor error in the Hide button of the Engineer OoB sheet.

Last updated file is the one for the Turning Tide - 3rd Canadian, British 3rd, 50th T&T Infantry Divisions. Beside that I solved some minor errors this file now has the new layout.

Here you find the links to the army files: Files

Thank you for reading.

OK this ain't funny. For the second time in a row I had to update the file. I really hate this.
The Rifle platoon gave the wrong total points in the OoB.
Updated file is available since yesterday.
I do feel sick about this and hope this was the last update for a long time.

Thanks for reading

Although the file was checked many times on errors I still found a little bug. The points for the Support Section of the Airborne Divisional Recon Platoon were wrong. A new updated file is already up for download. Because I left the version number the same you have to check if you already have downloaded the new version. Checking is very easy: If you select the Support Section of the Airborne Divisional Recon Platoon, the points for the Support section must be 110 points and not 60 points which was the case in the old file.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for reading.

Here it is the new army-file for the 101st Airborne Division to use with the new Flames of War army-book NUTS. With this army-file you can build a Parachute company, an Airborne Engineers Combat company or a Glider company.
Before I go on I first like to thank dvang, 1stBn and lap1964, all three members of the Flames of War forum, for helping me to check for mistakes and errors and to point out what I should add, what is unclear, and what to change.

When you open the file you will see a new (second) Notes sheet. This one is labelled "Important Notes". It is very important that you read these notes first. Compared to the other army-files a lot have changed and new things are added. One of the most important parts to read is the one about how to select your Tank company. At first I wanted to add the text of the "Important Notes" sheet in this blog post as well but because it is such a large quantity of text I have decide not to do so.
An other thing you will notice is that the Company sheets have a complete new look and lay-out.
Not much has changed to the Order of Battle sheets. The only thing is that I added something new to these sheets. You can read all about that in the "Important Notes" sheet.

As usual there is an Excel and ODS version of the army-file.
The links to new files are here : Files. Or you can click on the Files link at the top.
As the list of links to the various army-files on the page is becoming very large, I have decided that when I upload a new army-file or updated army-file I will write, in red, "New" behind the link. This to make it easier to find the right links.
May you have any questions after reading the "Important Notes" sheet and looking through the army file you can ask these questions here.

Thanks for reading.

After weeks of absence finally a new post on my blog.
I have to say sorry to all who follow my blog for me being away for so long. It all had to do with my work and I haven't been feeling too well the last couple of weeks. What exactly is wrong is not something I want to tell here. But now I am slowly getting back.

This post is all about a new army-file. An army-file for The Netherlands 1940 PDF.
What I like to tell about this PDF is that is is made by some Dutch people from the Dutch Flames of War forum with the help from Wayne Turner from Battlefront who provided the points and stats for the platoons. I can say that they did a great job.
In this PDF you'll find the options to take an Infanterie company or a Mariniers company for Early War.
The army file gives you the possibility to built one of the options mentioned.  All you have to do is select the platoons you like to take and print out the Order of Battle.

You can find the links to new files here : Files at the bottom of the page.
There is an Excel version and an ODS version.

Have fun gaming!

Thanks for reading.

Turning Tide - British Armoured Recce Squadron (3v1.2) Approved


The next files that will be updated from the V2 to the V3 rules are:
Both the Turning Tide US Ranger battalions, and the Turning Tide Task Force A.

News from the painting front is that there is no news. I am in a painting dip. Somehow I can't get myself motivated to do some painting. 

Thanks for reading.

I didn't had it planned to have the next army files to be updated so soon. But because of circumstances I couldn't do any painting. So I decided to spent some more of my vacation free time on updating 3 army files. And as promised it are 3 British army files.
Turning Tide - British 6th Airborne Division (3v1.0) Approved
Turning Tide - British Armoured Squadron (3v1.0) Approved
Turning Tide - British Armoured Recce Squadron (3v1.0) Approved
In these files I made some changes to the Anti-Aircraft platoon stats when they fire at aircraft. As you don't need the anti tank value I left that one out now.
What I also included in these files is the stats for self defence Anti-Aircraft guns like the AA MG and the .50 cal AA MG.
Later on I will also make these changes in the files that I have already updated. But because it ain't the most important changes it can wait for the moment.
The links to the files can be found Here.
Or just just click on the Files link under the title-header of the blog.
Oh and let me know if you find an error.

I am sure that the next files that will be updated will take a while because my vacation is almost over. And I haven't done any updating on these army files before the release of the Know Your Enemy book as i had done with the army files updated so far.

Thanks for reading.

Today I have added two more updated army files to the list.
-Turning Tide - US Light Tank Divisions (3v1.0) Approved
-Turning Tide - US Medium Tank Divisions (3v1.0) Approved

I also made a few changes to the Turning Tide US Airborne (3v1.1).
-The Glider field artillery didn't get a description that it has the Breakthrough Gun special rule.
-And I now also added Staff Sergeant Pool so he can be taken with the Medium tank platoon.

Let me know if something ain't working properly or when you find an error.

The links to the files can be found Here.
Or just just click on the Files link under the title-header of the blog.

The next files will probably for the British army. Don't know when these will be done. I need to repair a few of my M5A1 Stuarts and I need to do some painting too.

Thanks for reading.

Now that I have the Know Your Enemy book I have started with the big operation to update all my army files to the V3 rules version.
So far I have done four files.
-Turning Tide - US Airborne Divisions (3v1.0) Approved
-Hell's Highway - US Airborne (3v1.0) Approved
-Turning Tide - 3rd Canadian, British 3rd, 50th T&T Infantry Divisions (3v1.0) Approved
-Hell's Highway - 30th Corps (3v1.0) Approved
These were the easy ones because I already had an Under Review version of these files.
As usual there are two versions of each file. An Excel one and an ODS one.

The links to the files can be found Here.
Or just just click on the Files link under the title-header of the blog.

It will take a while before all my army files will be updated. Even that these 4 files were Under Review, which meant that a lot of work was already done, it still took me almost a day to update them. Most other files that I have to update don't have an Under Review version. So it can take some months before all files are done. I hope you have the patience to wait. :-) I will do my best to have updated all files as soon as possible!

Thanks for reading.

Because Battlefront keeps constantly changing some of their V3 Approved army files I again have to make changes to two army files. Which is sometimes a little frustrating.
In this case it are the following 2 files:
-Glider Rifle Company Market Garden PDF (3v2.2) Approved
-Grenadier Guards PDF (3v2.1) Approved
In both PDF briefings the Anti-Aircraft platoons have been changed. It has been split up in a normal Anti-Aircraft platoon and an Anti-Aircraft (SP) platoon. These changes now also been made in the Army files.

Further I uploaded 3 Under review files. One is a new one and two are updated ones.
The new one is:
-Turning Tide - 3rd Canadian, British 3rd, 50th T&T Infantry Divisions (3v1.0) Under Revie
The two updated ones are:
-Turning Tide - US Airborne Divisions (3v2.0) Under Review
-Hell's Highway - US Airborne (3v2.0) Under Revie
In the note sheets of these three file you will now find the following sentence:
This is an Under Review Army File. Some of the Stat and Diagram changes are assumptions by me based on the Forces book from the V3 bundle and V3 approved PDF briefings.
Keep this in mind when you use these files.
These are also the last Under Review files I made or change. At the beginning of June the Know Your Enemy book will be available. This book will bring all Late War army-books up to date with the V3 rules.
Go here: Army files or click on the Files link under the title-header and look for the right file to download.

Thanks for reading.
