How does that look now? Three good size infantry squads. You can leave one grenadier squad on an objective with the artillery with the RSO tractor to assist with digging in and the concerta wire. You have a decent mobile force between the other grenadier squad, pioneer squad, and Pz 4's.

Looks pretty good... what do you have for AA though? Probably just a meta-thing, so you may not need it.

Im thinking that someones Typhoons are going to kill all your arty.

You need air defense.... especially late war. Every allied player in my area runs with air out the ying-yang and even with a decent amount of AAA you have a hard time stopping it. The other good thing is AAA, especially something like the 20mm can be turned on infantry if no air is coming in on you. Russians hate to see quad 20's looking at their blobs of infantry.

Personally, your artillery battery rarely makes back the cost in late war. IF you are playing a horde russian army then it is going to ruin his day but with so much of the late war lists being mobile, the arty will have a hard time.

Personally, I would max out your werfers if you want arty as I think they do a better job and spend the left over points on making your force a little more mobile and definitely add AAA.

The other thing is that in your list you are pretty much damned to defned as you will not have much mobility. If you get stuck in a tourney where you need to move to take a position, you are screwed.

7 platoons not so good
too much arty - drop the rockets and add mtr.Hmg for smoke to the hvy platoon.
