2 quick things before I look at the list, 1) does your local group play early war? Just remember that you'll want armies that can play your opponents!

Secondly 2000 points is very high, most EW/MW is 1500ish and LW 1750

Thanks for the Reply

There are four of us at the moment, each one of us has picked a nation out of the Blitzkrieg book. So my opponents will be Early War Polish, German and French

Are early war tournaments usually run at 1500pts then? Our group have set a target of painting up 500pts a month initially to build up a decent army, so there will probably be games played at 500pts, 1000pts and 1500pts as well as 2000pts

The other bit that confused me was that you have seem to be using 2 companies. Stick to one company to begin with

Do you mean I'd be better served spending the points from the second armoured company on other things?

By and large you only use one organisation chart.

You take the compulsory and optional choices there. 2 charts is awkward as you can loose by failing a company moral test for either.

I've edited it to make it a 1500pts list, any suggestions for the updated list?

Many Thanks
