I didn't use to be one for historically accurate battle, but I'm finding it more a challenge and consequently, more educational.

As far as the Brandenburgers go, if I read you correctly you seem to be under the mistaken impression that I cannot get B's with both satchel charges -and- two LMG's. No, that's the very thing that attracted me to them, that they are so solid in both anti-personnel and anti-tank useage. I'm not too sure of the B's later available kit, but it might be a good odea to substitute one LMG for a pnzrfst, but I certainly wouldn't substitute an LMG for another weapon that has to pass an assault check.
As far as making an army of specialists go, as has so often been my theme, my force compromises also of those less than adequate, to sort of make up for some of the specializations, such as the that one lot of infantry for Gerry which is like minus five in both exp/mor.
Yes, I do think it is something of a waste of time to play a force which really has no weaknesses, and that becomes ever more profound if we find ourselves picking every infantry unit with AT assault weaponary all the time. |
Charles 22,
I appreciate your comments! I'm sorry about the Bs. I do know that you can get them with shatchels, and I think that's the best configuation.
I don't mean to bash the use of specializations as I enjoyed a series of battles with US rangers and FSSF on a 20X20 map. I do like your idea of taking some infiorer units to compensate. I'll probably start doing that as well. It's a good idea.
You make a very good point in your last paragraph. Thanks for the material to think on.
Thanks for your thoughts.
