1000 points
HQ mortars, panzerschreck, 2xHMGs, 3 Pak 40s, two FT grenadier platoons, a full rifle pioneer platoon and a heer CV tiger. Because the HMGs and Pak 40s can be combat attached, the ambush platoon can be
7 stand R/MG grenadiers + attached mortars + panzerschreck + 2 HMGs + 3 Pak 40s.
In the last game of the tournament my ambush simultaneously destroyed a flame tank platoon, and put 26 shots + a mortar template onto a strelk platoon in the open.
The Estonian special rules are
For Estonia! - When defending in a defensive battle you may reroll failed company morale checks.
The Line must Hold - When defending in a defensive battle, after deployment you may move one platoon 16" within you deployment zone.
At 1750 points I am thinking of two options - The 3 tiger option and a 3 panther option

The Estonian force on the table in half on/half off missions will usually be
CiC + faust 40
Panzerschreck 25
Mortars 45
Grens + 2 Pak 40 + HMG 240
Pioneers + supply 235
3 Tigers 645
4 Pak 40s 215
Stukas 100
=1545/1750 deployed = 88%.
In fighting withdrawal - the platoons that can be withdrawn are all small.
1 x HMG + command (45 points)
1 x 3 stand grens (50 points)
1 x 3 stand grens (50 points)
1 x Pak 40 + command (55 points)
1 x panzerschreck (25 points)
Attacking with this list might be more difficult but it worked ok at 1000 points. I think it would have the most difficulty in a free for all and attacking in a no retreat mission.
Does anyone have any thoughts about taking a goliath instead of the supply truck? :)
How are those Panthers rated?
ReplyDeleteBut whatever you do, it's pointless because my Strelkovy are so all-powerful, right? :P
As regards Goliaths, don't be sad. They are their whole own class of stupid.
Cheers
Fearless veteran but unreliable which isn't too bad with wide tracks.
ReplyDeleteNow that I've thought about your all powerful strelk, I'm not too worried about them. The flame tanks are a nice distraction but not too much of a threat attacking. They're more dangerous when hiding in a forest denying a 10" bubble or in ambush.
