Best 100 pt army

For example:

1 x Commisar
2 x Mosin-Nagant 1891/30
1 x Cossak Captain
2 x Fanatical Sniper
2 x PPsh-41 Submachine Gun
2 x Cossack Cavalryman
2 x Soviet Grenadiers
1 x Su-85
2 x Hero of the Soviet Union

Though I like the grizzled veteran, it is the inspiring hero who has captured my heart.  The last two games I have played with the British I have used the Inspiring Hero in conjuction with 2 piat gunners by themselves in adjacent hexes.  I wait for the Germans to get close- then chaos erupts as I drop my Hero in with my PIATs and they skip forward and stop any armor column dead in it’s tracks.  In each game I have destroyed three tanks, the last one I destroyed a Elite Panzer III, a Puma, and a Panzer IV.  I love PIAT gunners now.

I’m rather EBay-illiterate, but nonetheless I’ll have to try. Besides, I have a problem: I live in Spain, but there are very few local offers. International shipment (especially from the USA) can be quite expensive.

I’ll have to post my lists on the trade section, too!!

Sounds like your opponent was using a Tier 3 army at best; hardly tournement calibre.

Be that as it may, your army isn’t bad.  Whenever you make a UK army the Churchill Crocodile is generally a primary consideration.  The Comet has it’s uses, but I just don’t like the 3 rear defence on such an expensive unit.  It’s still fairly easily disrupted, and just about everything can get past a 2 defence.

Your army makes effective use of the Lieutenant with both Gurkhas and allowing the 17 pounder to move during the movement phase.  The Stuarts provide adequate support for the slow moving Crocodile.

This game is great, but i cant find anyone to play with. They should make something like AA minies online, just the way they run MTG online.

@scootmanfromhell:

I happen to read somewhere that someone posted that Nationlist China could recuit Germans. How’s this one possible??? I didn’t catch that one ANYWHERE in the rules.

I would doubt open cooperation between German and General Chiang’s forces, but in case you did not see it, there was a featured article on Wikipedia the other day highlighting Sino-German relations in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

So to help give Germany a slight extra advantage, we play as a house rule that the vehicles must setup on the back hexes. It really helps balance the game.

Apparently in the original play tested versions of the game all units started on the back hexes but the game took to long. So instead of having infantry setup 5 in and the vehicles on the back. They did everything in the first 5 hexes.

Last Thursday I played this army:

USA - M1 Garand x3
USA - “Red Devil” Captain
USA - Jeep x2
UK - SMLE No. 4
UK - 6-Pounder Antitank x2
UK - Vickers MG Team
UK - Humber Scout Car x2
USSR - T-34/76

Despite my crappy roles during the game I managed to hold on and almost win, despite losing my T-34 to a Tiger-I.

Some key things that I learned during the game were that cover is very important. The Jeeps were useful to get soldiers to the front very fast.

The Humber Scout Cars are good but just don’t leave them out in the open for attack, that’s what makes the strike and fade very useful.
