Hi there,

I already have some Panzer IV's and a King tiger and I was wondering what the best supplement book would be to get the rules for them as well as the units included in the new starter?

Cheers in advance!

Grey Wolf is your best bet honestly. Perhaps the battle of the bulge book would be good for you.

Grey Wolf gives you airpower which is a beutiful thing for splattering armor or infantry and still is late war.

The open fire set is a panzergrenadier division with 5 stugs, its pretty darn solid.

I split 2 boxes with a friend and I took the allies and with what I have from the last starter box I've got 15 Sherman IV's 4 Sherman Firefly VC's and 64 Paras.

Fortress Europe is a good starter book and contains all the basic lists for the late war.

If however you want something more specialist then It all depends on your opponent. Grey Wolf if they are going to be Russian or Earth and Steel if they are going be the Western Allies.

Yes,that is probably the best place to star(Fortress Europe)t.I still run some of the vanillla lists.Especially when i want Air support for my Germans.Also that is the Book i started with.

It really depends on what you are looking for, army wise.

I wouldn´t recommend Fortress Europe, it´s an old outdated book now, with so many better choices out there. Both point wise and rules wise it´s off.

My first choice for the allied list would be the market garden books, specifically hells highway, since it contains the actual list where you get the British Tank + US Paras combo.

For the Germans, there are a lot of choices really. Grey Wolf is probably the best German book out there at the moment, it certainly trumps pretty much anything in earth and steel.

If you want new (3rd edition) British lists, it looks like you´ll have to wait till after Christmas, it sounds like they´re not expecting the compilation to reach customers in time for saint nicks deliveries. At least in Europe.

Check out easy army.com They have some lists for free to check out and you can buy lists for fairly cheap. If I'd pick a book for Germans to buy I'd pick grey wolf because I've heard the lists are strong and I have a soft spot for the Eastern front.
