Battlegroup - List Building & Tactics for Elite Infantry

Really nice set up

[@Ralai14]

A more general guide to soviet and german lists could be really nice, some thing like list of do's and don'ts of the two armies for beginners.

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

blacktau I can try to put something together for that once I get a few more games in with my Germans. I haven't ysed them much besides my Fallschirmjager.

Another good update! Question on taking two mortars. Do you feel you get good value out of them with only Forward HQ and Platoon Command as spotters? You need to spot for them both separately or did they change it in the Beyond the Beaches boom to a battery of 2 tubes? Also, I never leave home without my Comms Relay team to be able to re-rell those 3+ comms tests.

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Martijn Waegemakers I always try to take +1 mortar spotter for my total number of tubed. So if its 2 tubes I prefer 3 spotters if points allow. But like you said, that comm team with the reroll is pure gold and sometimes a better purchase then getting a recce unit that can spot for you.

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Martijn Waegemakers Im pretty sure if you fire the mortars on the same target its only 1 comm test. I might be wrong on that since they aren't purchased as a battery.

The battlegroup videos are great so keep them coming. I'm just getting into FoW v4 so was wondering if we are likely to see some FoW content soon? It would help a lot. Cheers!

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

No one around here has really jumped on board with FoW V4 so its really hard to get a game in but if the opportunity arises I'll have my camera ready and post it up here for you guys.

Nice, thanks for the content ;)

I'm struggling with the list building side of things, I tried to make your list but I came up with a different point cost & different battle rating + I couldn't work out how you included 2 specialist choices as from what I can see you can only have 1 from the infantry platoon.

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Which list are you referring too exactly so I can take a look at it. Sometimes we break the list building rules for support options if it fits into a historical scenario we are doing.

[@SnEaKyGiTau]

The fallschirmjager list in overlord, wasn't a big difference from what you said but thought for educational stand would be good for clarity.

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Now that you mention it I think I might have fudged those numbers a little. I can't remember exactly what was off since I lost that list from the video.
