Simple, what are the most common lists you play?

Late War:

German

Infantry:
SS-Kampfgruppe Spindler (Panzerfaust/MG teams en masse FTW, great AT list)

Mech:
Gepanzerte SS-Panzergrenadier (12.Hitlerjugend)
Panzergrenadier Lehr Kompanie ( Every MG squad also gets a Tankhunter squad for free, another great AT list)
SS-Panzergrenadierkompanie (2. Das Reich)

Polish

Infantry:
Batalion Armii Krajowej

And what lists are you starting?

Late War:

Soviet

Infantry:
Partizanskiy Brigada
Udarny Strelkovy Batalon
Strelkovy Batalon (Guards)

A quick question, what is the strength of taking Udarny Strelkovy Batalo? I mean it only has 4 infantry bases per platoon, so you don't get nearly as many guys. Especially when compared to the Strelkovy Batalon (Guards), which gets 7 stands. I mean is there some special rule for the battalion that isn't listed?

None...


Sorry, couldnt resist.

Germans (Grey Wolf)
Panzergrenadiers that I can refit as Aufklarungs, Panzerpioneers, Panzers and KG Bake. I'm thinking of stocking up on PSC Hanomags so I can run them as Panzer Lehr as well.

Soviets (Red Bear)
Forward Detachment. I'm planning to refit with Spetznas and SU-85Ms when PSC release them. May also have a crack at Early War Soviets by buying a bunch of Zvesda plastics.

Spanish Civil War (club project)
People's Republican army. Currently 600 points which I'll expand to 1,000 very soon.

Russian Civil War (potential club project)
Not sure what exactly I'll do for this or how it will work. Maybe I'll pick up a bunch of Peter Pig WWI minis.

Did Italy even fight France/Britain during the early war years? I mean I thought that they didn't start fighting the British directly till Africa in 41/42.

Yes.

1940 Italy invaded Southern France after the Germans were on the brink of making France capitulate anway; the Italians did get held up on the offensive.

1940- Italy attacked British holdings in Egypt, prompting the Brits to launch several operations that had the Italians fleeing some 60 miles/day lol!
