I'm flipping through the new TY British book and I'm struggling to see why anyone would bother taking mechanized arty

The static artillery is either just as good or better statwise than the mobile artillery, and like 2/3s-3/4s of the price. There are slight differences. AP and firepower (Abbotts are 4/4, static is 3/3), assault/counterattack (Towed arty is 1 point better than mechanized in each, though weirdly the static 105s have a better counterattack than the static 155s, while the SPGs both have the same value) and the max battery size for the towed arty is 6 instead of 8.

The fearless veteran 105 batteries with commando crews also look interesting. They're only an extra 2 points over the standard static 105s

Thoughts on West German list.

I was playing around with the forces builder recently trying to decide on an WG list for an casual 120pt game (most likely facing Soviets, probably T-80s more than hordes although might be T72/T55 mix) so far i've got the following setup.

Is this an capable and fun setup ? anything you would do different ?.
(side note in building this i realised you can totally get an full 100pt list all in formation XD obv no air but the Marder 2 Pzg force has everything else, pretty neat.)

How to forcebuild?

I'm coming from bolt action, where force building is very free, and it seems like team yankee is really restrictive (comparatively). Can anyone explain how it works?

F-23A Black Widow II Showcase

Today marks the release date of Ace Combat 8 and the start of spooky season. To celebrate, I couldn’t think of better models to share than these F-23A Black Widow IIs. These are the production-series jets as envisioned by Northrop Grumman had the YF-23 won the Advanced Tactical Fighter competition. F-23As can be distinguished from the prototype YF-23s by their longer fuselages and more streamlined tail geometry.

The F-23A STL was acquired from the skilled designer OKB-985 on Cults3D, resized to 1/100 scale, sliced into sections and keyed, printed entirely in PA12 SLS Nylon, and then assembled. I took inspiration from the black YF-23 prototype and added my own twist with red accents on the wings and vertical stabilizers.

The decal placement was the longest part of the build process. The US roundels and Shadow Company insignia are from a custom decal sheet, the ejection seat triangles are from Mark 1 Decals, the “TX” tail letters are from Circus City Decals, and the refueling port markers are hand-painted by me.
