With a 1485 point Mid-War North Africa themed tournament coming up at
Huzzah Hobbies on June 14th, I "needed" to flesh out my germans so I've added some armor and a recon patrol. I'll be running my now standard FJ list but will reinforce them with some Armor in the form of a 4 tank Panzer III platoon. I'm thinking about upgrading one of the Panzer III's to a IV so that tank was painted up also. All of the models are from Battlefront.
The recon patrol comes in the form of a light Panzerspah Patrol of 2 Sdkfz 222's and 1 Sdkfz 223. I'll likely use this as a mobile reserve to respond to the other players recon / light tank probes. A second recon option of a heavy Panzerspah patrol (2 Sdkfz 231 8 Rads) is currently on the workbench and should be completed by tomorrow.
As for the armor, I'm still deciding whether to run a 3 or 4 tank Panzer III/IV platoon or just throw in a single Tiger I. The multiple tank platoon is probably more effective game-wise, but it's not as "cool" as a Tiger! Plus it's mid-war and a Tiger is a pretty fearsome tank for that stage of the war.
Ahhh, decisions, decisions
Once these guys are done it's back to painting up AQMF!
Nice looking vehicles! What color/brand of paint did you use to paint them?
ReplyDeleteWell done, love the colors!
ReplyDeleteNice work :-) Having played against them many times, I can say a Tiger is very hard to kill in Mid War. They are great for drawing fire and create a major, highly distracting, problem for your opponent. Cheers, Paul :-)
