My favorite tanks for this conflict are all the cool Sherman variants so it is only natural that I start with an Israeli force. I like to plan a new FoW project around 1500 points. This is the most common game size I play and it allows me to build a solid core army that is easy to expand later.

I really like this as starting force. There are lots of cool franken-shermans and a couple of heavy hitter tanks. It has recce as well as light AT to support it. It also has AA. I think this will be a really fun army to play. I was a little surprised that this army will only cost about $210 at full retail so I should be able to put is together for less than $200 with some bargain shopping. Now I just need to collect the models before BF lets them go out of production....

Hopefully BF won't let them go out of production! I picked up Fate as well and want to start doing something, but may actually go 1:285 scale since (thanks to years of having GDW's Command Decision game) I've got a lot of 1:285 scale vehicles and buildings.
I look forward to seeing your minis as they get painted up!
I've started prepping my Jordanian force for Fate of a Nation, so you'll have at least one opponent to face off against.
