When you attack, you can use them to kill hardpoints, like MGs and so on. They are fragile so don't do any gung ho things with them. If you add pzfaust to the cmd, they might be enough to make the tank assault to go south...

I'm terrible at making lists and usually end up with stuff I want to paint as opposed to sitting down and studying what would be good for X.<br /><br />At the moment, this is my list for any game I play as it's what I have in my carry case, that's just how I roll :)<br /><br />I think there may be some changes when the new market garden books finally reach my hands, but my resolution was to do a tank company so will be looking for advice on a competitive tourney style list.<br /><br />As for the 4 tank trap teams, you could well be right, perhaps that is too many. I'm taking 4 for 2 reasons...1) cos they are what I've got in my case and 2) I've not used them before so I want as many opportunites to experience their playing style. Unfortunatley I had surrendered before I even got to deploy them, lesson learned, deploy them sooner!<br /><br />Have you had any experience of using LGs? I thought there rules meant they'd end up getting blown away quickly and easily.Winner Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474948596994735061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504019008093553470.post-19178507163219466542013-01-10T14:03:00.721+00:002013-01-10T14:03:00.721+00:00Also, 3 Pak40s instead of 4 would give you points ...Also, 3 Pak40s instead of 4 would give you points to put into something that works on infantry as well. Take this with grain of salt, but if you'll have to attack that para list, it ain't gonna be fun moving those Pak40s to help you with, 4 trap teams seems a bit extreme too, as they aren't that helpful against infantry...

I don't think it had dawned on me quite how easy gun teams are to kill once they've shot.<br /><br />Whilst a bit of list reconfiguration is in order I still don't think I could have altered the outcome of the game as by the end of the game Adam had his entire army on the board and I had not made a single reserve roll, couple that with dawn breaking just when he needed it to...ahh Flames of War is broken, I'm giving up and taking up D-wars instead :)<br /><br />There you go Adam, you broke me, hope you are happy.<br /><br />Glad to know I'm in good company...they don't call me winner Dave for nothing!Winner Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474948596994735061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504019008093553470.post-22047897447219429372013-01-09T22:38:53.146+00:002013-01-09T22:38:53.146+00:00I'm far from an expert, but I agree, deploy th...I'm far from an expert, but I agree, deploy the two full FJ each with a PZShk, and 2 HMG attached teams. And 2ic with the mortars. <br />Bring the rest on as reserves. Sit tight with the FJ and try and pin/hurt enemy artillery with the mortars.<br />If you can attach out the trap teams too, so much the better. That way you are going to have 2 pltns of 10+ elements sitting on each objective. A far more tricky task of attacking these, and as FJ you have a half decent chance of counter attacking too...<br /><br />But hey, who'd listen to me - I lose all my games ! ;-)Scottswargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581220877007982139noreply@blogger.com
