And coupled with some BA10’s should make a good combo for the early war fights.

AAR for the 1939 100pt force
After all the replies I got I decided to switch and go with a mixed anglo-french force

1 Spitfire
1 Char B
1 Souma
1 Bofor
1 royal engineer
1 observer
1 bren gunner
1 french officer
2 Mas rifle men
1 Liebel Grenadier
1 tank obstical

it was a small turnout (something about a soccer game)
4 armies showed up
2 German (built around the Pzgf IV elites)
My sons French army (1 Char B, 1 Souma, 2 Renaults, 2 Boforâ€s and misc. French inf.)
And mine
After the dust settled my son came in 1â€st (winning all 3 games), the Germans came in 2â€nd and 3â€rd and my force came in last (being defeated by all 3 armies)

Next time its 1940 and 100 pts

Actually we tried this earlier in the week (no zero though) and the jap tanks died fast leaving the inf to be eaten up by the armour and inf combo. (different mix 3 Pzgf IV’s elite  no Bf109)

Aye if I had an 88 or extra stormtroopers  I would gladly field them, this is what i think I will end up using

1x Messerschmidt Bf109E
2x Elite Panzer IV Ausf.D
1x Sd Kfz222
1x BMW R75
1x Wermacht Expert Sniper
1x SS-Hausturmfurrer
1x SS Stormtrooper
2x Blackshirts
1x Brixa M35 45mm Mortar

Dave

Here’s the problem, the next A&A game at our FLGS has to be a 1939 100pt army.
I figure the majority of the armies will be German built around the veteran PZGFIV’s (2-3) maybe with an 88 thrown in or maybe a combined French/British army built around French armour and a Spitfire.
Any ideas?

Dave (who will be fielding a German army as my Brits have no access to French armour)

Some Canadian stuff
-the Kangaroo
-the Sexton

This one I can do no problem by borrowing my son’s Russians.

In case no one has mentioned it there are preview pics up at

@Commander:

try this build for Germany
it has worked out pretty well for me

2 SS Panzer IV
5 SS PG’S
1 SS Haupsturmfuhrer
1 Blackshirt

this is not my creation, just so you know
but everybody that has used this has had relatively
good successes

Yes, quess I’ll have to beef up my forces with some SS units.

Dave

Thought I’d throw this out, What’s the best 100 pt mix for competition play. Just finished using a mediocre German army

Panzer IV Ausf. G
Panzer II Ausf. C
2 Sd Kfz 251
lt mortar
machine gun
Wehrmacht Oberleutnant
2 Mauser Kar 98k

most of the armies that showed up were german
-built around a Nashorn, Panzer IV Ausf. G and  SS-Panzergrenadier’s
-built around a Sturmpanzer IV “Brummbär”, Panzer IV Ausf. G and  SS-Panzergrenadier’s
-built around a Kingtiger and SS-Panzergrenadier’s

Allied
-built around 3 Archers and a Chafee (my one win)
