Well I just recently found out one of my Dad's mates had some flames of war British figuers he did not want, so I was more then happy to take what he had off him. He sold me this...

Infantry HQ section

3 Rifle/MG platoons

2 MG Sections

2 Mortar Sections

10 Bren Carriers

4 6" pounders

3 Churchill III's

This sort of mixes up the plans I had to make a FoW army But I was wondering if you guys had any idea's of what kind of army I can set up with these models.

You can purchase a few PIAT and Light Mortar teams, and have a functional Rifle Company.

I'd definately advise buying some Priests (for mobile artillery) or 25 pounders, and a Auster AOP. Brit Artillery gets downright nasty when you get into larger games, and can have 8 gun batteries.

Edit: Actually, I'd go with Priests and an AOP. 8 Priests in a list will actually be able to kill things, which isn't what most artillery in FoW does. Firepower 2+ and 4+ on bombardment hurts, and getting the double-wide template with a rerolls on the first hit thanks to the AOP (and if you get that, you re-roll misses when you roll to hit) is just nasty.

The Bren Universal carriers are nice as either transports for a platoon when it needs to get somewhere quick (just try to avoid enemy fire!), or as a harassing force with PIATS and extra MGs. 9 Bren carriers with 3-4 machine gun dice apiece is great for pinning troops.

forgot to mention that the Rifle/MG platoons have come with there PIAT and Mortar upgrades

Definitely rifle company territory. Should find a suitable list in pretty much *any* of the MW or LW books that you can use these minis for. These minis will suffice until you get the cash and time to add some artillery units as well. Then you should have a decent solid core of an army.

Skriker

I have had a look at alot of the books for list Ideas, but One trouble I've bin having is fitting the 6" pounders and the Churchill III's together, for example. In the North Africa Book, I can put in the Churchill's in but not the 6" pounders (There replaced with Mobile Anti-tank trucks). With the Turning the Tide Book, I can fit the 6" pounders, But not the Churchill III's (There replaced with Churchill IV's and V's

You're in luck, then.

The 15th Scots Division can take both 6 pounder guns and Churchill III's.

A HA, found one..I had it in my PDF folder the hole damn time..lol (Fortress Europe)

But thanks for the help Infinite

If you could find me a list that can fit Priests/Sextons instead of just normal 25" pdrs. I would much rather the Mobility for a few extra points

cheers
