So I am diving back into Flames of War and I have been motivated by my local game store hosting a summer Late War League. The points are 1420 and you cannot field tanks with a front armor greater than 12. Not that is a concern for me because my tanks are all Shermans!!! grin

Anyway I have worked up two lists. One is a U.S. Tank Company and the other is my Armored Rifle Company. The reason for the two lists is I do not think I can have both full platoons of the Armored Rifle Company painted before the first games start and having your force painted is one of the requirements to participate, which I fully agree with.

Anyway 1420 points really limits you. Which I think is great as you have to focus and really drill down as to what is critical to your force. I think the German players are not going to be happy since they will not be able to field their Jagtigers and the like.

Anyway here is the set up I am come up with initially based upon the models I currently own:

US Tank (4th Armored)
Tank Company, from Blood Guts and Glory

Confident Veteran

HQ with 1 M4A1 76 w/improvised armor

1st required tank platoon

Cmd 1x M4A1 (76) w/improvised armor

1x M4A1 (76) w/improvised armor

1x M4A1

2nd Required tank platoon

3 x M4A1

Armored Rifle Platoon (4th armored)

Full cmd and two full sections with all the bazookas I can take.

Recon Platoon (4th armored fully equipped)

Veteran Armored Field Artillery Battery

Command Carbine, Staff, M4 Sherman OP, 3x M7 Priest HMC

L4 Grasshopper AOP

Armored Rifle Company (4th Armored) Confident Veteran

1420 points

HQ full command with all the stops

2 full Armored Rifle Platoons fully equipped

Recon Platoon (4th armored fully equipped)

Tank Platoon (4th armored)

Cmd 1x M4A1 (76) w/improvised armor

1 x M4A3 (Late) w/improvised armor
1x M4A3
1x M4A1

Veteran Armored Field Artillery Battery

Command Carbine, Staff, M4 Sherman OP, 3x M7 Priest HMC

There had to reformat the list so it was readable. Hope it makes sense.

Let me know what you think. Offer suggestions and options please.
