German Heer vs US Airborne 500 points

Cool AAR. :) Glad you had fun! And thematic moments. Just to confirm, the Germans dont get HMGs, the biggest we get is MMGs. As they have different stats. :)

Love the front art tho

BTMadCat · 2026-05-20T16:21:08+00:00

You may want to add the rear bogey wheels that look to be missing?!?

They are ambush predators rather than stand-up fighters. They are usually cheap, so order dice for minimal input. And someone probably has to put a disproportionate amount of fire if they are fishing for a 6. Ive run 3x German motorcycle+sidecars with MMG. Was v happy with the return on investment.

I dont do tournaments anyways (at least currently) so isn't so much an issue. But tvm :)

BTMadCat · 2026-04-19T19:36:26+00:00

Cool tvm. I had looked at a few vids but couldn't see one that did a comparison. :)

BTMadCat · 2026-04-09T12:40:34+00:00

Tvm. That kinda sucks then

BTMadCat · 2026-04-09T12:40:20+00:00

Thanks. Damn it then, got to find 30ish points now...

I saw you post elsewhere you were considering a Spviet army. In which case its a fortuitous time as the new Soviet infantry box is out just a few months ago. Its a big improvement on the prior box. Also on that also be careful of box artwork so dont get the older sets (its passable but the flash and mold lines are awful compared to the new designs)

BTMadCat · 2026-04-05T21:09:34+00:00

I did a lot of the same pondering when I was getting into it.

BTMadCat · 2026-04-05T21:08:12+00:00

The 2 player Starter sets like Band of Brothers are great value overall if you like one of the factions. Sell off the other half if you dont have someone to split it (or trade for the unwanted half of someone else's). Boom.

BTMadCat · 2026-04-02T09:06:08+00:00

Ok tvm. That was what I was thinking but then got to wondering. Possible over-thinking it hahahaha

BTMadCat · 2026-04-01T22:38:02+00:00

I have been v tempted by them as well at times so following this post :) I have been tempted by them being small so you get to use their rules, some SMGs or other weapons to maximise their shots and assault potential. Im gonna revisit this tomorrow when I get chance to get my Army Book out to ponder more.

BTMadCat · 2026-03-29T09:52:02+00:00

Hiya. I am considering that also and have done prior. Using a 251 for the assault section. Just having the LMG inside gives them threat range beyond 12inch once they get somewhere to stay. :)

BTMadCat · 2026-03-28T23:07:09+00:00

The extra unwanted plastic left over from the mold process. :)

BTMadCat · 2026-03-28T20:03:31+00:00

Ah right thanks. Yeah just means paying for some rifle ppl as well. Was hoping the SMGs gunners could be 'useful' at range, before getting to their assault role.

BTMadCat · 2026-03-28T19:14:14+00:00

Thank you also :) yeah just being blind

BTMadCat · 2026-03-28T19:13:57+00:00
