lol I fear he knew he was posting in the FoW forum
OWCrimiinal, your 1st mistake was picking Germans
hihi. j/k
Thanks for kick starting our forum Mark. So you are Germans eh.... well from what I've gleamed so far from these fellas, you don't get much in any list, but waht you do get is sh*t hot.
Are you playing them Fearless Veterans, or some lesser combination... and which book are you making your list from? I would advise getting Fortress Europe, the book is a summary of all the Normandy books, with less history and paint guides etc. This is the book I'm currently compiling my new German list from.
Gav went all tanks at 1st, but that will never do well, as he's come to find out. You have to have infantry supporting them, not unlike in real life. I'm currently thinking of Panzer heavy, or Stugs, and these cheaper tanks allow you to take the infantry you need. Atrillery is always good if used well, if not, its a waste of points. But I would always advise Germans take some decent dedicated
AA to protect their tanks. They have a dual role, aircraft or infantry. The 3.7cm cannons with 24"
AA can even take tanks in the side armour!
Tactics for Germans: try this onefor now... Remember the
40K Tau Crisis suits little trick about moving from behind cover, shooting and jumping back in the assault phase.
Try using your Stormtrooper special rule to do the same thing with your Germans. You'll soon have your opponents crying cheese and all buying Germans very soon.
