==================================================1750p, 6 Platoons
Panzerkanone alineará una clásica y correcta StuG Batterie, aderezada con apoyos F/V y un intimidador Tiger II. Diseñada para arrancar de raíz a la infantería enemiga, los pelotones de 3 tanques pueden parecer frágiles frente a otras listas blindadas, pero los duros y fiables StuGs son más que una amenaza para cualquier otro carro medio. Los potentes pelotones F/V proporcionan un respaldo sólido tanto en ataque como en defensa.
Panzerkanone will field a nice and neat StuG Batterie, spiced up with some F/V support and a massive Tiger II. Well suited to uproot enemy infantry, the 3-tank-platoons may seem quite fragile against other Armoured lists, but the hard and reliable StuGs are more than a match for any other medium tank. The powerful F/V Platoons add a solid backup both attacking and defending.

Esta es, probablemente, una de las Compañías aliadas con mejor pinta del juego. Ocho pelotones, 22 tanques, humo, reconocimiento, infantería ... Todo incluido. Preparada para luchar contra la infantería y los tanques, esta fuerza está bien equilibrada para cumplir cualquier misión.

Probablemente coincidamos en que esta lista extrema es difícil de ver en una Liga. Poder acorazado desatado, a pelo (literalmente: sin habilidades alemanas), gran capacidad de asalto, potencia de fuego sin igual ... y, sin embargo, con una larga lista de debilidades. Los aviones aliados pueden causar estragos sin ser molestados, la falta de humo hará que grandes cañones como los 17 libras dominen grandes espacios, el carecer de reconocimiento hará las emboscadas más mortales (esos molestos Hellcats...). Y, por supuesto, defender con sólo 2 pelotones va a ser un reto. No obstante, los 4 pelotones son duros y móviles y tienen la regla "Enjoy the War", que aumenta su capacidad de supervivencia de forma espectacular. Los carristas aliados harían bien en tomar precauciones.
You have to agree that this is an unlikely extreme list to field in a League. Raw (literally: no German abilities) armoured power unbridled, great assault capabilities, unmatched firepower... and yet, a long list of weaknesses. Allied air support can wreak havoc unmolested, the lack of smoke will make big guns like the 17pdrs to control the field, no Recce will make the ambushes deadlier (those pesky Hellcats...). And, of course, defending with only 2 Platoons is going to be a challenge! On the other hand, the 4 Platoons are tough and mobile and have the 'Enjoy the War' rule which increases their survivability dramatically. Allied tankmen beware!

Una palabra me vino a la mente cuando vi esta lista: 'excesivo'. Diez SU-100 parecen bastante redundantes, más aún cuando están respaldados por... una batería AT de ZIS-3. Lo mismo se puede decir sobre la unidad de cohetes al completo: lanzaderas sin blindaje, demasiado numerosas para ocultarse, prácticamente inútiles contra tanques de Top1... pero mortales para la infantería en campo abierto. El Batallón tiene su mejor emparejamiento defendiendo contra grandes tanques alemanes, cuanto más grandes mejor... excepto los Tiger II, que pueden aplastar a toda la fuerza con facilidad. Al ataque, el Batallón presenta problemas para actuar como una fuerza cohesionada: la principal (y única) fuerza de maniobra, la Compañía Tankovy puede ser copada y destruida, mientras que los SU de apoyo se ven obligados a moverse debido a las cortinas de humo u objetivos escurridizos. Por otro lado, se trata de una lista poco familiar para jugar en contra, y puede llevar a que los oponentes cometan errores de cálculo fatales.
A word came to my mind when I first gazed at this list: 'excessive'. Ten SU-100 seem rather redundant, even more when they are backed by... a ZIS-3 AT battery. The same can be said about the full Rocket Battallion, a glass cannon: unarmoured, too many launchers to conceal, almost useless against Top1 tanks... but a killer for infantry on open ground. The Battalion itself shines when defending against German big tanks (the bigger, the better)... except for the Tiger II, which can smash the entire force with ease. On the attack, the Battalion shows problems to act as a cohesive force: the main (and only) maneuver force, the Tankovy Company can be cut off and destroyed, while the supportive SUs are forced to move by smokescreens or elusive targets. On the other hand, this is an unfamiliar list to play against, and may cause opponents to miscalculate and make fatal mistakes.
