First games in mind...

To help focus my hobby and get some games going sooner I am planning some initial games and lists to begin with.

Seeing as some pointing up has been done for models not in the main rule book, why not start with those. And seeing as a Panzer IV and a Sherman have long been considered the classic dueling tanks of Northwest Europe and vanilla on special rules compared to the other tanks, I figure they make a good initial game.

German Side: 22 Pts

Panzer IV (H) – ARM 6 – STK 7 – 13 Pts

Puma – ARM 3 – STK 5 – 9 Pts (Fast, Fast Reverse, Wheeled, Slow Turret)

USA Side: 23 Pts

Sherman (75mm) – ARM 6, STK 6 – 12 Pts

M8 Scott – ARM 4 – STK 6 – 11 Pts (Tank Destroyer, Fast)

With that in mind I just need to get my Panzer IV on the table. I built it today and just need to get bits painted.

For a bigger game down the club I am thinking of adding the below options to top it up to a 50 Pts game per side (or as close as possible) with 8 tanks in total. I think that might be a club game with maybe two tables.

German additions – 26 Pts

Panzer III (L) – ARM 5 – STK 6 – 11 Pts

Stug III (G) – ARM 7 – STK 7 – 15 Pts (Tank Destroyer, Low Profile)

USA additions – 27 Pts

M3A3E8 Sherman – ARM 7 – STK 8 – 15 Pts

M18 Hellcat – ARM 3 – STK 8 – 12 Pts (Tank Destroyer, Fast)

I have a Pershing and a Tiger, but as these are high point and pretty dominant stats wise I will probably make building and painting these a low priority for now.
