I thought we would be mostly in defilade from the setup zone, have you checked the LOS Bob?

I looked at available armor, here is what I like, and what I'm concerned with

MK IV G, mid to late, L/48 gun, exellent ammo load out, blast 45, power turret
MK IV J, same as above, with a hand treversed turret
NOTE: (I'm not sure if the game engine slows the J turret down to simulate hand cranked)
**EDIT** I checked and the J has a slow turret

MK III STuG G, L/48 gun, binocular sights, great for over watch, lower ammo load
MK III STuH/42, 105 gun, low ammo load, very low HC, no AP, great Blast 114, ** EDIT**

I havent looked at Hetzers, or Marters yet, I will look tonight

The Fallschirmjäger Batt looked promising also with a ammo load at 30,

Bill, your correct about the vet Gebrigs. Batt. '44, they are insanely armed with 6 SMGs per squad, and a boat load of HMGs, but a 26 ammo load might be a bit short

The PZ/GR batt has fewer SMGs, 2 per squad, but higher ammo at 41

We need some options or a solid idea...soon. I think there are great options oavailable if we can't use 75L70 or 88's. Hetzers are great and then there are the Mk IV F2s, and Jagdpanzer IV with 75L48...

As I understand the rules:

1. No TRPs are allowed.

2. For the 2,100 defense force--only arty spotters organic to infantry formations selected are allowed.

3. Arty spotters are allowed as part of the 5,000 point attacking force

I've had no experience with Semovente m42 75/32

The STuH42s have a bigger blast, and are less than 50 more points for a platoon

Would they be a better choice???

On second thought I don't want any of the assault guns--other than STUGs.

I suggest we replace all the armor and 20 mm flak with:

Vet plt. Pz IVH

2 x reg. plt Pz IVH

vet plt. STUG III G (late mid)

reg. plt. STUG III G (late mid)

Vet 34 LMG
