what are "Schwere" panzer armies? is that just an armoured company?


I haven't gone up against a Tiger yet(last game had one, but i never actually went toe to toe)

I know i can't hurt it from the front though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1791882.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1791882.page GMT 2 FOW lists for americans AA support, Ah well then I wish you good luck, I belive this kinda armies will do well against Panzer grenadier armies, or Falschirmjager armies. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1792284.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1792284.page GMT 2 FOW lists for americans
Your first list is fine, give it a whirl and see how you like it. Your second list is over points, so you're going to need to trim there. Cut the number of Shermans down a bit (or go to all 75mm) to beef up the artillery battery. Alternately, you can replace the 105mm with Armoured Mortars instead.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1792313.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1792313.page GMT 2 FOW lists for americans AT fire is what mathers, therefor get at least three AT guns to support your shermans.

And yes the rifel company can do well, and artiliry is always good. Just remeber to protect them and their spotter. But do keep in mind that your vunerabel to counter artiliry when firing.

And on to your second list, do as the poster above me adviced you to, but dont get more 105mm get mortars instead. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1792592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1792592.page GMT Re:2 FOW lists for americans
Keeping the lanes of fire restricted helps greatly. We tend to play with a ton of terrain, and finding a lane that allows full range is rare.

And assaulting with Rifle platoons works great. I don't think any tank in the game is not afraid of infantry assaults.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1793103.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1793103.page GMT Re:2 FOW lists for americans

Well then you are lucky, but it really depends on the skill of those using said Tigers. And well I never let my tanks advance without infatri support just in case a rifel platoon comes along, three MG squads tend to resolve that issue

alternativly i could replace the Mortars with another Field artillery battery or beef up the existing one.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1794232.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1794232.page GMT Re:2 FOW lists for americans

Now this is a list I would dread fighting with my Panzer grenadiers Good amount of tanks, Rifle platoon to support said tanks, and a mortar for anti personnel use or against transports. Armored mortars are nasty to have againt you. But heaven to use/ have on your side. Good work all in all

And if you want to expand it, get more rifle platoons. OR get airborne, they are just incredibly versatile against all targets.

What do you guys think about M8 Scotts or M4 105mm Shermans?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1795212.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1795212.page GMT 2 FOW lists for americans AT assets in the area. Good for versatility, but you do pay additional points for that ability. They're not also as good as the dedicated arty units (lacking Staff teams and whatnot).

They're good for engaging dug-in infantry and gun emplacements and in a pinch other tanks. Most people I see prefer to go with the regular artillery though, so YMMV.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1796024.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/308364/1796024.page GMT
