But 2nd and 9th Panzer can have radio-controlled StuG's, pretty close to what your after.<br /><br />The 2nd and 9th also have 12cm mortars and HMG platoons.<br /><br />BenBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727751389191052408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504019008093553470.post-54990520091834341852013-06-27T19:49:47.304+01:002013-06-27T19:49:47.304+01:00Are there any Grenadier/Panzergrenadier lists that...Are there any Grenadier/Panzergrenadier lists that can take as support Panzer IVs AND StuGs (1 platoon of each)?<br />Are there any Panzergrendier lists that don't have to be mounted in halftracks, nor settled in fortifications, just average trucks?
