FoW Army Lists

I've been working out the points values of my respective FOW armies. I've only included those units that are legal (ie fit the army list I am using) so for instance the Konigstiger I painted isn't included in my Panzer Lehr list. Having said that I expect my Brother-in-law and I will make some form of gentleman's agreement to allow us to use the forces we want and not get too bogged down in 'lists'. Anyway, here are the forces I have painted (or close to completion) and ready for battle.

Panzer Lehr Panzerkompanie
Company HQ
  2 x Panther A  (375pts)
Combat Platoons
  1st Panzer Platoon - 5 x Panther A (940pts)
  2nd Panzer Platoon - 5 x Panzer IV H (475pts)
Weapons Platoons
  None...yet
Divisional Support
  Gerpanzerte Panzergrenadier Platoon - HQ + 3 Squads  (335pts)
  Anti Aircraft Platoon - 8.8cm FlaK 36 Guns - HQ + 2 Guns (8 crew)  (225pts)
Total - 2350pts

US Tank Company (2nd Armored)
Company HQ
  2 x M4A1 Shermans (180pts)
Combat Platoons
  1st Tank Platoon - 5 x M4A1 Sherman  (450pts)
  2nd Tank Platoon - 5 x M4A1 (76mm) Sherman  (575pts)
Weapons Platoons
  None...yet
Divisional Support
  Armored Rifle Platoon - HQ Section + 2 Rifle Squads, 1 LMG Squad and 1 Mortar Squad (310pts)
  Tank Destroyer Platoon - HQ + 1 Section of M10 3"GMC Tank Destroyers  (175pts)
Total - 1690pts

I'm considering adding some air support for the US forces and motorised scout platoons for both armies. I'd like to add another Panzer IV platoon to the Lehr company but I suppose I ought to bolster the US tank compliment first. A lot will depend on what bargains raise their heads on eBay over the next few weeks!

So, any suggestions what I should add next?

  3. Need smoke capabilities .... whatever weapon choice the troops can use that option.

  4. I agree with Angrylurker. Need more infantry.

    But I've always thought the P47 thunderbolt was kinda cool too!

  5. I agree with all of the above :)

    Nice looking stuff! Also, in the new D-Day books should you feel like shelling out for them really bring Panzer lehr Panzergrenadiers in line with where they should. MG teams and halftracks are so ridiculously overpriced in previous books.

    Good luck!
