I played Fow many many many many years ago and recently decided to dip back into this game so I am in all respect a Noob... so here is my first list in along time:

Headquarters
Panzerkompanie (Heer) HQ
2 Panzer IV H
180pts

Combat Platoons
Panzer Platoon (Heer)
4 Panzer IV H
360pts

Panzer Platoon (Heer)
3 Panther A
560pts

Divisional Support
Assault Gun Platoon (Heer)
4 StuH42
380pts

Gepanzerte Panzergrenadier Platoon (Heer)
1 Cmd MG team
1 Sd Kfz 251/10 (3.7cm)
6 MG team
3 Sd Kfz 251/1
220pts

Panzerspäh Patrol (Heer)
2 Sd Kfz 231 (8-rad)
80pts

Company Points: 1780

what do you think?

Cheers

Looks good overall (the list is for 1800 pts. right?), my only suggestion would be to try to fit in some anti-aircraft to the list, as enemy aircraft can be murderous to tanks in V3. Dropping one StuH 42 would give you the points for 2 Armoured Sd Kfz 7/1 (Quad 2cm)s.

Other than that, I would prefer another Panzer IV H platoon over the StuH 42s, but I can see their use at destroying dug in infantry.

1780 is the "official" FoW LW tournament points-vale now (upped from 1750) so I'm sure he's using that value instead of 1800.

The StuH42's are good for direct-smoke fire. They could be swapped for StuG's instead.

But, yeah, a couple of 7/1 Quad 2cm's would be decent as air-support in V3 is pretty lethal if you're caught in the open beyoned conceling terrain..

ok reduced the StuH 42's to three and added in 2 Sd Kfz 7/1 2cm AA guns and also was able to give the Grenadiers a Panzerfaust/SMG command team.

comes to 1,775pts now.

and yes I am aiming for a tournament level list for 1,780pts.

Ok then, I hadn't heard about that, maybe because I haven't actually played a game in 3+ months (college and limited transportation)....

It had bugged me that I had no AA assets in the list.

Now I have a decent range of units.

Panthers: beat stick
Panzers: jack of all trades
AA Sd Kfz 7/1: AA protection and horde grinder
StuH 42's: Anti-dug-in infantry killer, smoker, and light armour hunter.
Grenadiers: Objective huggers, MG providers, meat shield, Anti-birdie providers
8-Rads: more horde haters, far-flung-objective-huggers, and Ambush poppers.

I will hopefully one day test this list and see how it pans out against a LW Brit Armoured Company with a bucket load of Shermans.
