Hey, figured I'd make my first post worthwhile. I'm starting up with FoW and was wondering what I should get to start off with. I was thinking mid to late war Germany and either Fallschirmjagers or an Armored platoon. Any suggestions on boxes and starting forces for a base army?

Get the Open Fire box set and swap the Shermans with a friend. StuG III G's can be usedin mid or late war in almost any German list.

Historically StuGs are your best bet... Feature in most battlegroups and will work with any German formation including Fallschirmtruppe.
