Yeah I'd thought of dropping the third section from each Fj platoon too.

The HMG platoon could get taken out entirelly too if needed, each Fj squad has 2 LMGs with 2 sections... but even just reducing it is helpful.

I keep flip flopping on the idea of Panzerkompanie or Fjs...

I'm pulling this from the Africa & Med. book btw.

I had Pak36s with Stielgranate ammo before but the range is so short... 8" :( ... ended up swapping for longer range stuff...

Anyways, so I've reworked it slightly...

Maybe in the wrong direction maybe for the better... Tell me what you think. Should I stick with the first list, use the second, or the third. Or something entirely different.

I also thought of taking the HMG Squad out entirely, and putting in the 3rd PaK40 again, but I feel like I need the anti-infantry if I know I'll be seeing Rifles.

Have you guys heard of Old Glory Miniatures? Particularly, their 15mm "Command Decision" line?

If just one of you guys bought a membership (50 USD for a year), and have that guy make all your purchases, you can get 40% off their already-low prices. Infantry packs cost about 15 bucks for 50 figs, tanks cost about 20 for 3 models, and that is BEFORE the discount. They claim that you only pay what they pay for shipping.

I haven't tried them yet myself, still trying to scrounge up some money to buy the membership, but I would keep them in mind as a cheap option to build forces fast. Keep in mind that you would have to buy/make bases for them however. I just do an ebay search for "Flames of War XX101" which is the product code for a mixed pack of bases.

There is a site called warweb.com that offers cd models at 40% off with no membership.

Were ordering from there once we figure what we want

Nice find! I'll be checking that out, since I get my tax refund soon.
