Not facing infantry? Leave the machine guns at home. Are facing infantry? Make sure you've got them.<br /><br />Personally, I like developing a core force and then customize with a unit tweak. I play infantry mostly, and I always take maxed-out minimum platoons before I load up on support units (this is my anti-cheese factor), I try to make sure that I can take out the strongest enemy armor I may face, and I always make sure that I've got at least one maneuver element.<br /><br />For tournament play, you must know what each unit is supposed to accomplish in your force. While I won a <a href="http://spottinground.com/1500-points-german-grenadiers-v-british-grenadier-guards-dust-up/" rel="nofollow">defensive scenario by charging the attacking Grenadier Guards armour with my infantry</a>, that's not usually going to end well. Know what units are your hammer and which are your anvil, but be ready to change the plan if opportunity arises.<br /><br />Nick blogs at <a href="http://spottinground.com" rel="nofollow">SpottingRound.com</a>Nick von Coverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440687993184647932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133563681435430158.post-13354691669839147992011-07-25T13:10:37.434+10:002011-07-25T13:10:37.434+10:00I find that for torneys I have gravitated to lists...I find that for torneys I have gravitated to lists that I think will give me a good chance at winning at least a few games. Out side of Torneys I am very random and try out all sorts of variations. I play best when I take a list that suits my style of play....which is typically aggressive from the get go. But it does not mean I always go for Tank lists. My defensive play is less than averagely good in my opinion. So like many gamers HMG platoons are rarely seen in my lists.<br />I am likely to start making and gaming lists with Fortifications in the near future. There are a lot of them now (mostly Late War) and it may create a few considerations in list building. What to include to take on bunkers. <br />Typically I consider...some good regular Anti Tank, Smoke/Arty template, some Mobility, and possibly an AT unit for taking out high armoured tanks.<br />I run with units that I know well (Stats, Special rules, how to use them well with other units etc). These are usually units taht I like in any case. <br />CheersThe Kiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06829184068503627810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133563681435430158.post-1766279197530600762011-07-21T21:51:48.799+10:002011-07-21T21:51:48.799+10:00I pretty much agree with your view, although I do ...I pretty much agree with your view, although I do not have that much experience with FOW tourneys.<br /><br />I find myself dropping machineguns in favor of other platoons that are more cost effective... is that realistic? I don't think so. Not to mention that I am contemplating the use of 4 x Brummbars, yes, right...<br /><br />This being said, the lists end up pretty much balanced if you take a bit of everything, and the word is that it is what the top players do... they don't necessarily try to "optimize" their list but know well the game, have a plan and win.<br /><br />I thus would tend to think that one should play what he likes rather than aim at a hypothetical "killer" list that may, might help him win the games.Braxenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09659777580502075412noreply@blogger.com
