Newbie needs suggestions on German/American armies

[Wahnsinn]

Hello!

I’m new to this forum and A&A miniatures as well!

The thing is, i found a good place to buy single minis nearby, so now I would like some tips on what minis to buy to make a German and American army for a balanced/fair game, 100 points each (or less). Sets or historical accuracy doesn’t matter, neither rarity, just as long as the armies make up for a good and fun game.

The reason is that my friends rarely spend cash on games, so I figured that I could let them play with one of my armies when they drop by. Then, if they like it maybe they will start buying some themselves! :-D

Regards,

Depends on what year you want to build 1939 - 1945  Germany has some good years after 1942 (especially armor) The infantry to get would be SS Panzer Gren for Germany.  If you go 100 points it’s a tough call on the heavy hitters perhaps the Panther D from the reserves would be ok.  US has the Sherman of course,  so thats a good start.  Rangers a screaming Eagle have given me trouble in the past.

If it’s “anything goes” then there’s far too many options. If you want to make balanced armies than try to have it so each army has an answer to the other; ie if one side has an aircraft, the other has AA (either an AA Gun or aircraft). Don’t have a King Tiger on one side and no AT on the other, etc etc.
