2. Platoon
    1x M4A3 (76mm) +1x M4A3E8 +1x M4A3 +1x M4A1..............................=360p

Armored Field Artillery Battery [Confident Veteran]
    3x M7 Priest ..........................................................................................=220p

Air Observation Post
    L4 Grasshopper ......................................................................................=40p

==================================================1750p, 6 Platoons

Como Compañía Aliada, Bravosix ha seleccionado una Acorazada Confident Trained de la 7th AD. Completamente móvil y con mucha pegada, puede verse no obstante muy perjudicada en misiones con Mobile Reserves. Por otro lado parece un poco corta de carros para tratarse de una lista Trained, y el hecho de carecer de infantería puede ser un problema a la hora de defender o asaltar posiciones en terreno difícil, aunque los 6 105mm van a causar estragos en las posiciones enemigas.


As his Allied Company, Bravosix chose a CT Tank Company from US 7th AD. Completely mobile and very attached, can be very prejudiced nonetheless Mobile Reserves missions. On the other hand it seems a bit short of tanks to be a Trained list, and the absence of infantry can be a nasty problem when defending or assaulting positions in difficult terrain, although the 6 105mm will wreak havoc on the positions enemy.

Limited Air Support
    Thunderbolt +30p (HVAR Rockets) ..........................................................=180p

==================================================1750p, 8 Platoons

Siguiendo con el mismo tema de los Combat Engineers, y habida cuenta de la proliferación de listas de infantería en la primera vuelta, Paz ha optado esta vez por una Compañía Fortificada. A primera vista parece un hueso muy duro de roer, sobre todo para Compañías Acorazadas (2 campos de minas, 9 Bazookas, 3 cañones AT), pero sus Pelotones móviles son muy vulnerables y la dotación de infantería es relativamente pequeña, lo que hace que sea débil en asaltos. Por la misma razón, en misiones en las que tenga que defender mucho terreno, la Compañía se va a ver obligada a estirarse demasiado, lo que puede dejar huecos en su defensa.


Following the Combat Engineers theme, and with the proliferation of infantry Companies in the first row in mind, Paz opted this time for a Fortified Company. At first glance it looks like a very tough nut to crack, particularly for Armored Companies (2 minefields, 9 Bazookas, 3 AT guns), but its mobile Platoons are really vulnerable and the list is short of infantry, which makes it unreliable in assaults. For the same reason, when holding a long line, the Company is at risk of overstretching, which can leave gaps in their defense.

I Walküre League - 2nd Row Lists #2

(English text below)











Player: 'Rgarcim'


British Parachute Company [Overlord]

Fearless Veteran

# HQ
    60p +60p (3x PIATs) ..............................................................................=120p
1. Platoon
    2x Rifle Squads ......................................................................................=170p
2. Platoon
    2x Rifle Squads ......................................................................................=170p

Parachute MG Platoon
    1x MG Section .........................................................................................=80p
Parachute Mortar Platoon
    1x Mortar Section .....................................................................................=75p
Parachute Assault Platoon
    2x Assault Squads +20p (PIAT) ..............................................................=115p

Airlanding Armoured Recce Platoon
    3x Tetrarch ..............................................................................................=135p
Airlanding Anti-tank Platoon
    4x 6pdr (late) +5p (Transports) ................................................................=165p
Airlanding Heavy Anti-tank Platoon
    2x 17pdr +5p (Transports) .......................................................................=150p
Airlanding Light Battery, Royal Artillery
    4x M1A1 75mm pack ................................................................................=150p

Naval Gunfire Support
    Light Cruiser .............................................................................................=250p
Limited Air Support
    Typhoon ...................................................................................................=170p

==================================================1750p, 9 Platoons

Esta lista es una modificación de la Parachute Company con la que nuestro camarada Rgarcim disputó la anterior vuelta. A fin de hacer hueco a la aviación y a la artillería naval (en mi opinión discutiblemente peor que los 5.5"), se ha sacrificado una parte importante del potencial humano de la lista, forzando para alcanzar 9 debilitados pelotones en lugar de reducirlos a 8 más potentes, hasta el punto de que 5 de ellos tienen 4 equipos o menos. Aun así, sigue siendo una Compañía muy difícil de desalojar en defensa, y en comparación con la anterior gana una 'plantilla' adicional (la aviación).


This list is a variant of the Parachute Company that our comrade Rgarcim played the previous row. In order to make room for Air Support and Naval Artillery (in my opinion arguably a worse option than the 5.5 "), he sacrificed a lot of manpower from the existing Platoons in order to reach nine weakened platoons rather than 8 more powerful, to the point that 5 Platoons out of 9 have 4 teams or less. Yet, it remains a very difficult Company to beat in defense, and in comparison with the previous one, it gains an additional 'template' (Air Support).

==================================================1750p, 9 Platoons

Tras su buen comportamiento en la primera vuelta, he decidido repetir lista alemana con algunos cambios. Los Hummel no me han dado el resultado que esperaba, así que he vuelto a la combinación de AT directo, con los FlaK 36, y otra fuente de humo y pineo barato, con los NW 41. Por primera vez voy a incluir un par de francotiradores en la lista cuya misión será tanto ofensiva como defensiva, contribuyendo a desorganizar las líneas enemigas.


After its good performance in the first row, I decided to field my Feldherrnhalle again with some changes. The Hummel Battery did not give me the results I expected, so I bolstered my AT assets with a FlaK 36 Battery, and added another cheap source of smoke, the NW 41. For the first time I am including a couple of snipers, in charge of wreaking havoc on enemy lines.
