Any option for recon?

nope just some weird AA options or the security platoon.

I'm going to suggest looking at the HG panzer pioneer in 'fortress italy'

You get rerolls to morale which helps, and the list I did was

Hq with 2 fausts
2 schreks
2 mortars
2 HMG's

2 pioneer platoons, Faust + truck
4 StuG's/stuh42
4 Pak 40
2 8rad
4 10.5 artillery
3 flak38's

Has all your list does pretty much but less rubbish (security platoon)
And with recce + stuh42 can assault

if i go Panzerpionier i prefer this Grey wolf List. only problem is finding some Sd Kfz 7 to convert as i don't want to waste my FlaK43's. oh and finding a cheap supplier of Kfz 70 trucks. as battle front resin ones would bankrupt me. but i like the panzerpionier list from bridge by bridge even if it does lack recon. i'm defending with it mostly as armour or mech seems to be rather common around my way. so my oponent is mostly moving anyway.

Use the 43's as 38's.

Wespes are far too overcosted for what they deliver IMHO.

I only use one platoons trucks, all you ever need as its so rare for both to be moving.

Was toying around with this more, and thinkbi'll a very viable list. On defense you have the two pioneer carts, + lots of AT4 infantry backed up by panzerschreks and PaK 40's. On attack you have smoke, flamethrowers and breakthroygh guns - not to mention almost every platoon rerolls morale checks as does company morale too

HG panzer pioneers
HQ + 1 Faust
2 Panzerschrek
2 HMG
2 platoons of 7 stand pioneers + carts
4 stuh42
4 PAk 40
2 8 rad
4 10.5 artillery
3 15 Nebs
2 flak 38

after a bit of thinking I've done some messing about and my list now has some Fallschirmjager instead of the security platoon. i've got them in by shrinking the two big pioneer platoons and moveing the supply vehicles around. so one platoon has a goliath the other two have supply RSO's. so i have two assault platoons in the Fj and the goliath platoon and two defencive platoons in the two supply RSO platoons. and yes i still lack recon but i prefer the pionier's to the panzerpioniers.

so whats your list in total now?

the two rso platoons get the weapons from the company HQ, while the goliath platoon takes two flame throwers and acts as an assault force with the stug's and FJ

I think only having short platoons is going to cause you problems, only 5 stands is very vulnerable to assault.

If you're in a mission where you defend with only half your platoons you'll be able to get all your support, but you won't have enough infantry to keep them safe.

your right my assault platoons where a little small so done some rejigging. oh the advantage of not having finished buying and building my force. going to leave this list like this i think as i really need to start building and painting it. basic plan for use is the two big platoons are my assault platoons and start in reserve with the stug's and either the Pak40's or the AA depending on my foe. the rest digs in on the table as my defensive force.
