Tunisia/Italy list (others here looking to build US and Brits). I wanted redundant things to deal with anything, but didn't quite get there at 1500:

Company Command: Two SMG/Panzerknacker; Two Kfz 251/1c halftracks

Gepanzerte PzG Platoon: SMG/Panzerknacker Command; Six MG; Four Kfz 251/1c halftracks

Gepanzerte PzG Platoon: SMG/Panzerknacker Command; Six MG; Four Kfz 251/1c halftracks

Assault Gun Platoon: two Stug G

Hvy Panzerspah: two Kfz 231 (8rad)

Motorized Artillery: Cmd SMG; Two Observer; Staff; Four 10.5cm leFH18 guns

Hvy AA: Cmd Rifle; Two FlaK36 8.8cm guns with extra crew


I’m hoping this gives me a fair amount of mobile infantry with a mess of MG shots; some tanks that are a cut above the competition in this period; long range AT that can cut thru anything the allies have; solid artillery barrage; some recon that can deal with light armour. 88s are the only AA, and the amount of armour is pretty limited

To increase to 1750, I’d add a third Stug G; add a Light AA batter of two Kfz 10/5 halftracks with 2cm guns; and add an RW43 team with halftrack to the company command; more AA, also good against light armour; another solid tank; and some up-close mean AT that can deploy in ambush or discourage tanks from closing with a position.

Any thoughts?

The list definitely looks solid, although personally I feel you might be better served by a lighter tank platoon that'll allow you to have an extra one or two tanks rather than the (admittedly heavy in Mid-War) StuG G, but that's personal preference. Between the 88s and the StuG G, your AT looks solid and suitably overkill for anything that'd possibly show up in your gun sights, of course you want your 88s set up in concealing terrain, blah blah blah (usual stuff with big guns). The 105s are a solid choice, and personally I feel adding in a second (cheap, smoking) artillery platoon is key, especially when you only have two main fighting platoons (3 if you count the StuGs) to help keep them alive and stop the bad guns from making them go away, I think as you're fully mechanized you'll be fine. You have an even number of platoons which is good in case you're ever tossed onto the defensive and have half your platoons missing (and plopping both combat platoons on the table and the 88s in ambush should keep your opponent cautious enough to get your reserves in before too much damage has been dealt). So yeah, everything looks good as far as I can see. Just don't forget the benefits (and drawbacks) of the panzerspah platoon being recce.
Good luck!

I'd really like to fit a mortar battery in there, but can't scrape up the points. I could drop the PzG platoons down to 2 squads, but that seems like they'd just run off the table faster.

I keep looking at the Grille H team, though: another bombardment (althouth only 2 guns), and more anti-tank (although close range). And a motorcycle....who doesn't like motorcycles?!

I LOVE the recce rules. I'd like to have points for another section of Hvy Panzerspah, too!

I primarily went with the Stug G because those come in the starter set. I'm more fond of the look and the stats of the Panzer III L with Schurzen...could get three of them for same cost as two Stug...but would have to shell out more dinero, and I'm already in trouble with the evil overlord spousal unit


I'm hoping to get this army going here soon, and bring it down to get kicked around by you guys! Do you do FoW on nights other than Mondays? Any thoughts on another tourney?

Hey were you the new person i met monday with your 2 other friends? ya its me Eric the new player. Well Monday nights are mostly for Flames of War guys, like we get the dibs or whatever it works and just a day everyone can come down. Also I used to go down like monday wensday and fridays but cause of some events can only make it like once in a week or more i don't know yet. But I know I'm def going to be down friday the 12 so hopefully when you get there hopefully I would get the game rules down pat and be able to fight others.
