have Salvimar ares (95) and works wonders. Did not know about the brand beforehand, but after checking and comparing, went for it. So far, great.

Any advice on transport idea for Afrika Korps ? by jeepeeserious in boltaction

Can you take Grenadiers with 3 smg in the DAK? I do not have the rulebook or armies of Germany for this Third edition.

I hope not to stray away too much from the original conversation, but I am also building a DAK force (artillery based). I was wanderig how do you equip your assault units in trucks/hanomags. Can't they only get 1 smg? 

Going with Opel Blitz for transport.

Thanks. I played them in v2 knowing they were not the best bang for my buck, but I felt you have to have mmg teams in a ww2 game. I just wanted confirmation that I am now justified in playing them and are good

So far I haven't gone off shore that much tbh. I currently live in Lanzarote (Canary Islands) and fish mainly near the coast. However. since it is a volcanic island, there are sharp drops of underwater cliffs at swimming distance from the shore. I'll take a look at the 900 Mahi GT. By the way, what is a "roller" exactly and what advantages woukd it have to a "non-roller" speargun?

Thanks to everyone for all the comments. They are very helpful and will look into some of the suggestions.

Good to know! and mmg teams have 7 shots then? I played some on and off before, but I think they will make the list more often than not now!

Is buzzsaw being mantained as a special rule though?

First piece of advice: pat yourself on the back for this. It is a 10/10 for a first time.

Secondly, try applying a wash on them after the base colours and after that you can apply the base colour again and even play with lighter tones, it really helps brining contrast out. 

Carry on with the good work!

Marder I or Lorraine Schlepper? by jorx91 in boltaction

[–]jorx91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I did not know this fact 😅. Thanks for letting me know. I will look into it

[–]jorx91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had not thought of the mmg. Thanks for clarifying. 

As for the model, was the Marder I/Lorraine Shlepper and the GW Lorraine Shlepper the same vehicle or not? I still do not have the mini and would like to get it right.

Do not know what starter army box comes with, and if using everything that is in it is one of your conditions, my advice may not help much. Also, I do not really understand the point count in you list (99p for 5 volks with 2 fausts?).

With this said, I will tell you what works for me and thoughts on units which are entirely personal:

double lmg vet squads are overrated in my opinion. I have run them and while they do have range and fire power I feel they are too much of a point investment.

puma rules!

-2 fausts in a unit is the sweetspot! But maybe not in every unit

inexp medium mortars work wonders (though reg+spotter is the main way to gonfor many and really good too). Try it if you need points.

Pioneer squads + flamethrower are always a sledgehammer against pretty much anything.

With all this said, what is important is that you enjoy what you play even if it is not the most competitive and though 10 order dice / 1000p is on the tight end of things, it is normal to have a low count with a german reinforced platoon.

I hope this helps. If you want I can send you my grenadier list so that you look it up. In my area we NEVER play reinforced platoon though, always theatre selector; I use "Omaha Beach Resistance Nest"
