Hello,

I have a few questions about the "Grey Wolf" German Army rulebook and I hope someone might know the answers.

First, does "Grey Wolf" replace "Fortress Europe"? If so, is Fortress Europe still a viable book?

Second, on page 73 in the Panzerkompanie combat Platoons. Are the points correct for Panzer IV's and StuG's? StuG's are more expensive points wise than the Panzer IV's

Third, on page 192 German Arsenal the Panzer III OP is listed twice. I think one is supposed to be a Panzer II with the 2cm Kwk38 gun.

If these are errors, has Battelfront released faq?

Thank you for your time.

GW does not replace FE - both are viable, but GW is more up-to-date. StuGs are more expensive than Panzer IV, maybe that is because of that extra point of front armor.

Part of the confusion I have is because in Fortress Europe Panzer IV's and StuG are the same points cost in a Panzerkompanie combat platoon. (3) panzer IV's 285 points (3) StuG's 285 points

In Grey Wolf Panzerkompanie combat platoon (3) Panzer IV's 270 points (3) StuG's 285 points.

The stat lines on the Panzer IV's and StuG's are the same in both books. Both books claim most of the same timeline. Fortress Europe January - August 1944, Grey Wolf January 1944 to February 1945.

Also, upon looking through the online store for Flames of War I do not see Fortress Europe available for salee but Grey Wolf is there.

I can tell You that Gepanzerte Panzergrenadiers are now cheaper in GW than they were in Fortress. Fortress is still legit, I can assure You, but if You can, I'd suggest to buy GW for Your lists.

I have owned Fortress Europe since it first came out replacing Festung Europa. I have only very recently purchaced Grey Wolf.

I have been building a large Panzerkompanie force with all Divisional Support options for a while now and have started on a Grenadierkompanie a few months ago. I have spent a lot of time wrapping my Panzerkompanie around the Fortress Europe lists. With some of the changes that are in Grey Wolf, it has made me make some minor changes to my forces. I was just wondering if there were some typo errors in some of the lists.

No, no typos. No errata to the best of my knowledge either. I enjoy list building from GW over FE. A better book to me, and it works that I had a 5. SS list based off of RoHs.
