As sad as it is, I'd think about replacing the Stuarts with an Armoured Recon Platoon to fulfill the duty. Then again, I might even trade out a Sherman platoon instead since the Stuarts are really useful. Choices, choices.

Alternately, if you want to be funny, you can take an AOP spotter plane. You have no artillery, but the AOP can also fly ahead of your tanks and detect ambushes just like Recon troops can. It's a lot cheaper then the Armoured Recon Platoon too, though it can't quite cover as much area.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1760046.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1760046.page GMT
would you reccomend 1 or 2 patrols for this pts level? for future reference.

i could drop 1 M4 Sherman platoon, add one M4 sherman to the other platoon, and have 1 Recon Patrol(2 M8s, 1 morter jeep, and 1 recon jeep) with 40 pts left over.


other then that does it look good?

from what i have seen(Which isn't much ) the local German players don't ambush as much as the American and British players.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1760150.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1760150.page GMT
Just about every time you play Mission 3 or 4 (Hold the Line and Fighting Withdrawal), you'll be facing an ambush since Cobra rules require you to be the attacker whenever possible. The exception would be if your opponent also has the same rule, in which case you'd dice off for it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1760507.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1760507.page GMT
we can basically use armies out of whatever book we want.


Thanks for the Help BTW ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1760668.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1760668.page GMT
Why did you decide to go with the AT gun rather than the bazooka? I have always gone with the bazooka and had never considered the AT gun (not sure why)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1760799.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1760799.page GMT
it was copy and pasted from a 3rd company list i was kicking around.

the 2nd can't get 37mm.



i was thinking the increased range would be nice, but decided against it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1762181.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1762181.page GMT Maybe add some artillery, or tank destroyers.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I think I would drop the Stuarts. In late war they are very crunchy, and have no hitting power, and at 2000, most German players I know will field big cats.
Maybe add some artillery, or tank destroyers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1794223.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1794223.page GMT
The 32" At the double move usually can let you get behind cover fairly easily.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1794318.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1794318.page GMT
last game they got behind the enemy lines and killed a Nerbelwerfer and almost took out his CC PanzerIV while drawing the fire of 3 Panthers(allowing my allied artillery to kill 1 and bail another).

the German players really HATE stuarts around here.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1795207.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1795207.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1849069.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/306252/1849069.page GMT
