Decals. I bought the Fighting First FOW set, 1 platoon of Shermans, 1 platoon of Stuarts and 1 platoon of Lees. I used some of the Stuarts and Lees for my Brits (same sprue as the Brit kits - multiple options on the sprue) and the whole platoon of Shermans went to the Brits. This gave me lots of decals, which was good because I wrecked a few for each platoon. Getting the yellow stripes to line up together (1/2 on each side of the turret) and be level was a major pain. Would have just been easier to mask and paint a yellow line, or use the Testors line decals I got at Michaels for WAS.
So far Battlefront hasn't put out a US desert decal pack yet, so the Fighting First boxes and platoons are the only way to get them.

Are these the tanks I am seeing of the GF9 FB page?

My Afrika Korps are finished. The Panzer IVs all have magnetized guns to be either variants. 3 of the Panzer IIIs do as well, the 4th is an uparmoured Panzer III just for some variation.
I also have all 3 of Rommel's vehicles from the Desert Fox OP Kits, although I still need to paint the interior of Greif (and add a few commanders to tank turrets).
I have some Gun pits, and tank obstacles to send someone in the U.S. 1 set to anyone I haven't sent anything to before. Just PM me a domestic address, and i.ll ship very soon. The pieces are the same size as the fit outs.
What's a 'Com'? Go to the Flames of War website for more detailed assembly instructions so you can see the variants available on a sprue. I suggest doing a primer colour before painting, especially if you are doing Brits in the desert, as the green plastic needs a primer before you use a sand colour.
