This file is for the US Task Force A from the Turning Tide Handbook.
It is a complete new army that hasn't been publish in a book or PDF briefing before.
The file has been throughout been tested on mistakes, I even had some help, so lets hope that there won't be any problems to find this time. May you still find one please let me know.

As usual the file is available in Excel 2003, Excel 2007 and OpenOffice.

The links to the sites for download:
- Army Excel Files (page on my blog)
- Flames of War Army files

This will probaly the last file for a while. I am still working on 1 other(Combined file for the 3rd Canadian, British 3rd and 50th T&T Divisions) but it will take awhile before that one is done. After that i start on the files from the poll. Also i like to spend some more time on painting.
One other thing is that some time in January there is a major thing going to happen in my private life. I will tell more about this later on.

A New Poll: "Which Army file to build?"

I have put up a poll. It is a poll specially for those who make use of the Excel army files i build.
It is a list of 5 army's from the Turning Tide book. You all have 14 days to vote then the poll will close.
After that i will see which option has the most votes and that will be the first army of which i will make an Army file. The rest will follow in the order of how many votes they received.
For me it is also a sort of way to see how many people appreciate that i build these files.
May your army not in the list. Don't worry there is a chance that i will put up more polls in the coming year.
Happy voting!

Christmas

I like to wish everybody a  

MERRY CHRISTMAS. 

And that SANTA may bring you all the nice presents

you wished for.

That your Christmas meal taste delicious.

But beware that you don't eat too much.

After all who wants to end up sick in his or her bed on,

New Years Eve.

A note about the army files.

First i like to say that I have yet again uploaded new files for the US light and medium tank divisions. I really feel sick and shit about this, that I have to redo the list for a third time in such a short period.
I am very sorry for this and i hope you forgive me.
Next what i like to say is that may you find a mistake in one of my files then first take a look if there is a new version available. I don't want to clog up my blog with posts that i have uploaded updated files over and over again. However each time I upload a complete new file and tell you here in a post I will also tell if there are files updated. Also if the file is updated after a long period of time then I will tell it too.
If you have a file with a mistake or problem and there is no new version please let me know of the problem so I can update the file.

Thanks for reading.

Correction on the Turning Tide - US Light and Medium Tank Divisions Files

Someone pointed out a mistake in the Turning Tide - US Medium Tank Divisions File.Thanks for that.
After checking the file myself i found i out that I simply forgot to check 1 sheet on mistakes.
The problems solved are:
The Corps Cavalry Recon platoon didn't show the points on OoB.
Both the Armored FaB platoons points didn't work correctly on the OoB
The points of the Corps field artillery Battery were working wrong.
All problems are solved and it works OK now.

As I used the Turning Tide US Medium Tank Divisions file as a template for the Turning Tide US Light Tank Divisions file the latter one contained the same mistakes. These are solved too of-course.
For both files v1.1 is up for download

Thanks for reading.

Correction on the Turning Tide - US Airborne Divisions (v1.0) file

A quick note.
Someone pointed out to me that there was a mistake in the file. The Airborne Divisional recon platoon didn't show the point cost.
After checking and double checking (file on my computer was working Ok) i found out that i placed the wrong version of the file on the blog and website.
I have quickly replaced it with the correct one.
Sorry for all the trouble.

Leaves in shame.

New Army File: Turning Tide - US Airborne Divisions (v1.0)

The first new file from the Turning Tide book. Well new. It is more an update of the old D minus 1 handbook.
First lets take a look what has changed compared to D-1.
New are :
1)Airborne Divisional Recon platoon (only for the 82nd Airborne Division).
2)Airborne Anti-aircraft Artillery platoon (only for the 101st Airborne Division).
3)Corps Armored Field Artillery Battery (Priests).
4)Corps Field Artillery Battery (155mm).
5) They now also have Master Sergeant.
What has changed compared to D-1:
The tank platoons are split up in 2. The Medium tank platoon (Sherman's) and Light tank platoon (M5A1 Stuarts). The light tank platoon is only available for the 101st Airborne. Instead of 1 you have the possibility to take 2 Corps Field Artillery Battery's. Only the 101st Airborne is able to take an Anti-aircraft Artillery platoon. The special rule for Turnbull has changed. Further most of the platoons have gone down in points.

Files are available in Excel 2003, Excel 2007 and OpenOffice.

Where to get the new files:

- Army Excel Files (page on my blog)
- Flames of War Army files

About the 2nd link.
I reorganized this site.
On the openings page the first 3 folders have changed. With the explanation what has changed I will concentrate me on the first folder "1. Army Excel Files". The other 2 follow the same concept.
The folder 1. Army Excel Files contains the standard excel files.
If you click on the link you will get 2 new folders: "1 Current Books" and "2 Old Books".
The Current Books folder contain all the files from handbooks and PDF's that are new or in use. Like the new D-Day books but also the books from the Eastfront etc.
The Old Books folder contains all the files from the old handbooks and PDF's. Think of Afrika, Ostfront but also the old Normandy books like D minus 1, Cobra etc.
When you click on 1 of these folders the rest is self explaining.
The only folder where i have some doubts if i placed the right file in the right place (Old books or Current books) is the German Late War folder. So may you find a mistake please let me know.
Although you have to click a few folders to get to the files i think it works better now.
I hope you like this solution. When thing is certain it works easier for me.

Last note: For those people who still like to use D Minus 1, there is a new file up for download.  I found a few glitches in the old one. Name is US Airborne D-1 (v3.3).

Random Talk

First i like to Welcome all new followers.

From now on i will (try to) welcome new followers with the first post of each month. Except if the first post is a History post. In that case i will do it in the next post or i will post a welcome message.

Further i like to say Thank You to all my followers who decided to stick with me. Even to those who are following me anomalously. It means that i don't write it all for myself and all that i write and show is interesting enough to follow.

Yesterday i finally primed my Field Battery, Royal Artillery Platoon. I still couldn't go outside but because it is no longer freezing i could make use of the garage. And just before i went to bed i placed it in my hobby room so it could dry the whole night at a better temperature. So now all i have to do is start painting.

I am still waiting for the new D-Day slipcase to arrive. A friend and i have decided to buy 1 slipcase and split the books: He takes the Earth and Steel book while i take the Turning Tide book. This way we don't have to wait a few more months. But although we ordered it in time at the store it still hasn't arrived. It has something to do with falling snow in England.

Hopefully my next post will be on the painting progress of the Field Battery, Royal Artillery Platoon.

Thanks for reading all this bla bla bla! ;-)
