Noble.House Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hey there, So I'm very new to FoW and want to start a British Paratrooper Company, but I'm not sure which book/supplement is the best? Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGrumpus Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hi ! Let me just say you picked a great army to build. Brit paras are my Go-to carved out of wood tough as nails nut crackers. Good for defense and great for attack ( night fight! ) + Gammon bombs! So, get yourself the new Market Garden supplement book and You'll find some really awesome lists? Why this book over Overlord? A couple good points: John Frost: this warrior, much like the real guy, was a bad ass. The 75mm pack howitzer battery. 250 for 8 guns and for a mere 60 extra points you can buy medium gun support, giving you AT 5 FP +2!!! When conducting a repeat bombardment. If you use the double wide template ... It's wonderful. King Tigers don't like being under it. Second, Late 6 pdr AT guns! These things rock! In an airlanding list you can have three platoons of four. That's 12 AT 11 ROF 3 and 4+ FP, and HE! Tanks or soft targets melt quick , esp in ambush! Three, You can include Glider Pilots... Even more elite than the regular para. Aittle pricy but worth it for brutal assaults. I hate to say but unless I'm doing a themed thing , I'll take my paras from MGARDEN any day. Ask anything as I've painted and based a million paras and used them in Many tournaments. I also have many bits if you ever need stuff. Ok, go get that book! ($30) Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
