I'll bring german infantry and some mixed guns and panzers for loaners, in addition to 1550 pt germans for myself

I'll be there, and I second the thanks to Barca for throwing this together so quickly.

Welcome, Evan!

We've been playing 1420pt Late War.  Odds are excellent if you just drop by, but if you want to make sure there's a good Axis/Allies matchup you might want to plan ahead or bring two companies.

Terrain is ok for up to two tables at Guardian, but in need of some repair.  Also lacking in city and ruins.  Is anyone interested in a terrain building day?  

As for your panzerfaust-toting Reluctant Veterans, I am also partial to those lists and I can already hear Steve grumbling about "gravel-munchers."

Good News: All Flames stuff is 50% off at Guardian today, including books and non-WW2 - i.e. Great War and Fate of a Nation.  I even got my paints half off, but I'm pretty sure that was a mistake.

Bad News: Guardian is pissed at Battlefront for chopping them off at the knees with the Tanksgiving online sale and may stop stocking, or at least that's the scuttlebutt that was intentionally put out (Yes, I'm a cynic.)

Thanks - love those Eureka models!  They're identical to the illustrations in Osprey's Chinese Civil War - I assume that was the template.

I will be interested to see the force spread out a bit.  That could help with the overcrowding problem in the single defensive line.  

That last game against the paratroopers, I would have traded half my force for some barbed wire, so I can see the appeal.

I'll bring some minefields, but I have no barbed wire handy if you plan to use that.

Those pioneers can take a 3-ton truck or RSO supply vehicle.  Understrength pioneers (6 Rifle/Pzfaust+command) + RSO are 170 points.  

Each full Schutzen platoon is 170 + 20 for the Panzershreck, however the list has three HQ slots for Panzerschrecks unused.  Easiest thing would be to trade Pioneers for a Schutzen platoon, and take an extra HQ panzershreck, same points.  

Also worth noting the Shooting Over Stationary Infantry rules (pg 80), which I wasn't using to full effect in the tournament:

Vehicles and gun teams can fire over friendly infantry that did not move.  Those infantry can still shoot!  So for a static line, its better to layer the infantry right in front of the guns than right behind them as I was doing (which is only useful for a counterassault).  

Also, infantry can fire over stationary infantry (even if that infantry shoots) when firing at vehicles, so when putting down a tank assault two ranks of panzerfaust-armed infantry is sound, as it keeping the Panzershreck in the rear.

Armored Canucks sound great!

Here's my tourney list:

And here's what I would recommend for a 1500pt variation on that:

http://forces.flamesofwar.com/FOWPrint.aspx?list=55e6b64a-de93-4879-8593-53b629656d4f&PDF=Y

This list drops the Pioneers, Flak, Mortars and Anti-tank platoon.  The first three did absolutely nothing in all three games, and the Anti-Tank platoon was only useful in game 1.  With the extra points, I boosted the support Schutzen squad to full strength.  Kampfgruppe to get to 9 platoons, and the Kampfgruppe can include up to 2 Pak50s.  Let me know if you want me to rearrange it some other way.  

I'll be there this Thursday.  

Would anyone be willing to lend me an allied force for the evening?  I'm feeling a powerful urge to play something not-German.  

I'll bring my Kriegers anyway, so if anyone wants to borrow some Deutsches Gravel Munchers and try out the Dark Side...

I'll be there with a campaign German list.  I won't have my tournament army painted (or assembled) until next week, though, so I won't bring that.

Did #9 ever get fought?  

Fantastic - thanks.

Are the "Digital Exclusive" lists attached to a particular book tournament legal?  I'm liking the Grenadierkompanie (9th Armee) list from the Berlin Digital Exclusive.

Campaign games are 1250+ points, but the Tournament in November is going to be 1945 pts, so I'll bring that list too.

There are usually at least two people on game nights.  I'll be there this Thursday with LW Germans, if you want to nail down a game.

Which period(s) are your grenadiers? Early/Mid/Late?

Late

Hello all,

I'm getting back into FoW, and I stopped by Guardian last night and met a couple of you.  

I'm a bit lost on how these campaign games get set up, but I'll be there this Thursday with my Grenadiers if anyone has interest in a game.
