Two OFs is much more useful for the Germans then for the Brits (too many Shermans)

Two sets of Germans will let you field PanzerGrenadiers also because you can use all the infantry teams with LMGs (12) for two platoons and use the teams with only rifles for Pios and/or scouts.

KG Kastner might be a useful PDF for the Germans

Walkure Kompanie

Or the PanzerGrenadier Company from Panzers to the Meuse

11th Armored might be good for the Brit Shermans

you should be able to field about 1460pts off that.

If you picked up the Easy Company pack you can use it for company command bases to run the two Parachute platoons as a US Para Company w 2 platoons.

Can I tap into your not insubstantial intellects to get two possible lists built out of two Open Fire boxes, or pointed toward which books I would need to pick up?

Someone mentioned Market Garden might have a list using all the US Paras and then the German Shermans/Firefly?

Incidentally, another question for the fine, fine folks who have been helping out.

Can the wife and I do anything of substance with TWO Open Fire! starters, instead of the one starter, and two infantry boxes?

Dakka Rules please don't double post, Use Edit if you want to add another comment.

I am pretty relaxed man, but equally you have no idea how irksome it is having threads like this constantly. So rather than constantly complain and barrack people, we did something positive. We as a community, as a board, made a guide in our time exactly for you to help you. It even has a guide to costs and budgets, please don't then double insult us with TL : DR , wall of text, I cannot be bothered , tell me what I want to know now, type response. Most of us on this board are fairly mature, we want to help and will do so, but please don't rub us up the wrong way by being petulant or petty. The fact you don't want to read it because it's impersonal? Frankly I don't know how any of us could help you, short of picking your force for you, and telling you what to do.....We don't have to help you, the fact we have these resources for you, says much about how much we care and dedicate our time and effort to help others.

We aren't sitting around at your beck and call, so really don't get annoyed with me, when I'm pointing you to the thing that will answer most of your questions. If there are any outside of that resource, feel free to ask and we will respond positively.

Did I say TLR? No, I rather said it was an extremely intimidating document... which I did read, but found it, as a static document was incapable of answering specific questions I had, concerns, etc... Silly me, I thought engaging in a conversation on a chat forum, might prove to then be a logical way to proceed.

And seriously man... Why so hostile? I mean no disrespect, have been gracious and appreciative to help received, and so forth? I have no interest in offending, and likewise, feel even writing this is counter-productive.

We are grown men, who play with toys, and talk about them... no need to be overly assertive. I seriously mean no harm, hope I will find myself a big fan of the game, and hope likewise that i'll contribute to the board in time and help others out.

Really... I apologize if I didn't use the forum to your liking and offended, as it wasn't my intention... but really, there is no need to get so worked up.
