Upcoming Mid War Tournament List's

Hi, Blackwolf here, with some musings about an upcoming mid-war tournament.

Hobby store "Realm of Legends" here in Melbourne are planning on running a one day mid-war tournament on Saturday, the 7th of May (link to their WargamerAU post here). I believe this comes at the end of a mid-war escalation league they've recently run. We here at Bunker 3030 couldn't participate in the league as we were concentrating on late war armies, plus Realm of Legends is in Croydon, a suburb about an hours drive from the Bunker. However, we are interested in the one day tournament.

Our problem, as already stated, is that we have late-war armies. But, with a little tinkering, we've written up some lists from the armies we have that should do alright in mid-war (we think, but honestly, we have no idea, we have no experience with the period). I'm planning on the following list from Eastern Front...

SS-Panzergrenadier Company (Fearless Veteran)

HQ - 2 SMG/Panzerknacker's

PzGrenadier Platoon - Full

PzGrenadier Platoon - Full

PzGrenadier Platoon - Full

Mortar Platoon - 2 Sections

Anti-Tank Gun Platoon - 2 7.5cm PaK40's

Schwere Panzer Platoon - 1 Tiger Tank

..or..

SS-Panzergrenadier Company (Fearless Veteran)

HQ - 2 SMG/Panzerknacker's

PzGrenadier Platoon - Full

PzGrenadier Platoon - Full

PzGrenadier Machine-Gun Platoon - 2 Sections

Mortar Platoon - 2 Sections

Anti-Tank Gun Platoon - 2 7.5cm PaK40's

Mittlere Panzer Platoon - 3 PzIV F1's & 1 PzIV F2

The second list requires the painting of the PzIV's, but I've got a couple weeks to do that, so that's no problem. But I'm not sure which list to go with. If any readers have any advice, let me know!

And now, the list that Griddon plans on using...

1943 Schwere Panzer Company (Confident Veteran)

HQ - 1 Tiger

Schwere Panzer Platoon - 1 Tiger

Schwere Panzer Platoon - 1 Tiger

PzGrenadier Platoon - Full + SMG/Panzerknacker upgrade

Rocket Launcher Battery - 3 Nebelwerfers + 3.7cm PaK36

Small model count, but might do well if the Tigers survive ;) I know I'd struggle with the Tigers if I have to play vs this list.

Anyway, those are the lists. If you guys have any advice for us, we'd more than welcome it! :)
