I've got some questions pertaining to the FoW book.

Firstly, is there any way to get individual models of the new tanks(jumbo, e8 etc)? I don't want to spend a ton of money on a large box when I won't wind up using everything.

Secondly, I want to tweak my TT US armor list to work with the new book. What would you suggest I drop/change in my current list to accomadate the new arrivals (chiefly jumbo's, as I want my 2ic as well as 1 member of each combat squad in one.

The list as it sits now

Company HQ w. 2 Shermans - 180

Medium Tank Platoon w. 5 Shermans - 450
Medium Tank Platoon w. 4 76mm Shermans - 440

Armored Rifle Platoon w. 2 squads - 295
Corps Armored Field Artillery Battery w. 2 sections - 300
Corps Anti Aircraft Artillery Platoon w. 1 section - 80
Recon Platoon w. 1 section - 65
Sherman Assault Gun Platoon - 185

Total 1995 points

Suggestions are always welcome!

As of right now, nobody is selling individual Jumbos to my knowledge. I use MWM Jumbos as I prefer the model(and had them)


Your list is also illegal.

You can have at most 2 76mm/Easy8 shermans per platoon. Its also 1 Jumbo per platoon/HQ too.


Your list looks ok otherwise with a good mix of things. The AA bugs me a little. You probably won't need it 95% of the time. I'd get another tank in your 2nd platoon.

Actaully i would use the AA points to beef up the recce. Both of those seem small and easy pickins.

The posted list is out of the old Turning Tide book. Thats the main reason it didn't have anything out of BG&G.
