Matt and Andy discuss a simple list to get you started with Flames of War Germans.
Heres What you'll need to build Matt's 1500 point German Starter Army:
- Company HQ: x2 Panther G Tanks
- Combat Platoon 1: x3 Panther G Tanks
- Combat Platoon 2: x3 Panther G Tanks
- Weapons Platoon: x4 Möbelwagen
- Support Platoon 1: FFh PanzerSturm Platoon
- Support Platoon 2: FFH panzerpionier Platoon
Nice. Any chance you guys have cooked up a similar starter army list for the new US tank destroyer companies? I really like the idea of a fast moving, hard hitting, ambushy armored force, maybe accompanied by some armored rifles for taking and holding objectives or filling in any gaps that form in your strategy during battle..
From watching other videos and reading a bit, one of the things that is interesting about this type of force is the large number of powerful German tanks you can field. But it is off set by the low training and moral. This seem to pose some very interesting tactical questions as you will field high quality weapons with low quality troops. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of list????
Flames of War noob:
■Company HQ: x2 Panther G Tanks
■Combat Platoon 1: x3 Panther G Tanks
■Combat Platoon 2: x3 Panther G Tanks
■Weapons Platoon: x4 Möbelwagen
■Support Platoon 1: FFh PanzerSturm Platoon
■Support Platoon 2: FFH panzerpionier Platoon
Can find every model bar the infantry platoons. Any help appreciated
You could get PSC plastic kit/s and then BF extras to fill in platoons…
eg to make a FHH Panzersturm Platoon you need
1x Cmd Panzerfaust Assault Rifle team
6x Panzerfaust Assault Rifle team
4x Sd Kfz 251/1D half-track
Nice looking list…Im tempted to do early war stuff and get a blitzkrieg list that can morph into a ostfront list using loads of 38t tanks and at least 1 88 flak.
Gotta love the late war sillies though…King tiger is sick kit, shame it broke down a lot or got air struck to death in reality…wait actually its good that they did. 8 Panthers is scary for any tankers on the other side, hopefully you could ummm… well outnumber em with t34 or shermans
