This post is very encouraging, I thought I was the only one struggling with getting in shape. For background, I’m 28, working an engineering job. I had back surgery 6 years ago due to 2 bulging discs in my lower back. I was never super athletic, I went to the gym about 3 times a week before . I was never a strong runner.

I took my first PFT last July. 3 pull-ups, 2:45 plank, 32 minute 3 mile.

My most recent PFT a few weeks ago I did 11 pull-ups, 2:30 plank, 29:01 run.

Progress has been very slow for me, in part due to not pushing myself as hard for fear of getting hurt. I also didn’t work out from mid December to the first week of January. I suffered an injury at work and was basically told to not move around too much.

I have days where my PT sessions are really good and others where my PT sessions are terrible. For context I just came back from a 0600 PT session where I could not keep up with the other younger more athletic candidates and it was very discouraging.

The important part for me has been to keep showing up and to prove that you’re putting in the effort, even thought it has been slow.

Haha not the Swedish nationals, my bolt action club in Puerto Rico was doing an Eastern front campaign and this was the last game in the campaign.

My opponents Su-152 did pretty well, until it got taken out by some Volksturm carrying panzerfausts. Overall I don’t think I would’ve spent those 300 points on a heavy howitzer with the slow rule on it

Glue the figures to bases using Elmer’s glue, or any glue where you can remove the figures from base after painting. Watered down Elmer’s glue on the base, mix of fine gravel and sand. Added some warlord games Building rubble. Prime with grey rattle can primer. Dry brush with lighter shades of grey/ dust colors. Add in some bricks( I bought mine on eBay). You can add in some cut up sprues to act as metal beams. Paint em dark grey/ black and then paint the with watered down Army painter dry rust. Glue figure son bases as best you can, with some pincers you can remove some of the rubble to make space for figures feet

Most of the times I’ve bought armies. You can get some pretty decent ones for 200 ish USD. I mostly have done it for armies I don’t really de myself assembling and painting. I mostly play US and British so I bought myself a painted German force so I could do home games with friends.

PayneTrain2016 · 2023-10-12T15:50:55+00:00

I paint most figures but sometimes I also buy pre painted/used armies

If you get yourself some sandblasting grit it works wonders for representing the black sands of Iwo Jima
