Suggestions for my 100 point Japanese army.

Yeah, all the 100 point games I have played are always done faster than a monoploy game just for that it’s worth adding it to the A&A team.

If it’s “anything goes” then there’s far too many options. If you want to make balanced armies than try to have it so each army has an answer to the other; ie if one side has an aircraft, the other has AA (either an AA Gun or aircraft). Don’t have a King Tiger on one side and no AT on the other, etc etc.

It could be an advantage to either side.

3x Imperial Sergeant
16x SS-Panzergrenadier
4x Panzerfaust
6x Wehrmacht Sniper
4x PAK 40
2x Mauser

Just think of how long and hard it would be to kill all them (assuming you even could). The Allies can do the same thing with Partisans and Paratroopers, or Commissars, support weapons, and chinese infantry. This is why my play group always uses historical formations; so you don’t get lopsided battles.

I’m rather EBay-illiterate, but nonetheless I’ll have to try. Besides, I have a problem: I live in Spain, but there are very few local offers. International shipment (especially from the USA) can be quite expensive.

I’ll have to post my lists on the trade section, too!!

The target does not have to be directly in front of the SU-85. It needs to be in front of the SU-85 as defined in the rules. See the page where the rules explain what it means to be behind or on the flank of.

All it really means is that you need to pay attention to facing when you end your movement.

I actually am expecting French Resistance of some kind in the D-Day set. They’d probably have stats as bad as the ones the Soviet Partisanss get, but I tend to field armies for flavor as opposed to “L33T-P0WARZ”, so I’m not going to be too broken up about that. I’d love to be able to recreate several battles from the movie The Longest Day, so so having some Resistance blow out some train tracks would be sweet.

For 8 more points, instead of a Tiger I, you can use a King Tiger.  It doesnt dwarf the Tiger I, but it looks scary on the battlefield and the stats are scary too, so id use it for psychological warfare.  You know……make them crap their pants.  :lol:

I don’t pay attention to number of units max, especially with the Soviets. 
My 150 army, when the map calls for it, involves one Nashorn and at least two more decent tanks.  This I play on defense and once I’ve got my movement kills on the enemy tanks, I will use the MBTs to close in and crush them.  Of course, this means that I can’t let myself get too spread out (Nashorn is expensive so I have limited defense otherwise).  Last night I tried this and got surrounded by the faster west-Allies tanks.
