Mid War Madness

Today I saw some great looking MW DAK Panzers on FB. This gave me a kick to the balls to think about having my own MW DAK Panzerkompanie some day.

As I don't own North Africa book nor have it available in EA I turned to fowlists.

As I like tanks a lot, and my first ever FoW game was played in the desert with MW Panzerkompanie, I had only one thing in my mind. TANKS, lots of them! Strike hard, die hard!

After some thinking and mixing and matching I came up with this:

German Panzer
Tank Company, from North Africa, page 54

Compulsory Panzerkompanie HQ
- CinC Panzer III L or M, 2iC Panzer III L or M 230 pts
- upgrade to Panzer IV F2 or G 30 pts
- Sd Kfz 9 half-track 5 pts
- Warrior Josef Rettemeier 45 pts

Compulsory Panzer Platoon
- Command Panzer III L or M, 2x Panzer III L or M 345 pts
- upgrade to Panzer III N -5 pts
- upgrade to Panzer III N -5 pts

Compulsory Panzer Platoon
- Command Panzer III L or M, 2x Panzer III L or M 345 pts
- upgrade to Panzer III N -5 pts
- upgrade to Panzer III N -5 pts

Panzer Platoon
- Command Panzer III L or M, 2x Panzer III L or M 345 pts
- upgrade to Panzer IV F2 or G 30 pts
- upgrade to Panzer IV F2 or G 30 pts
- upgrade to Panzer IV F2 or G 30 pts

Heavy Panzerspah Platoon
- Command Sd Kfz 231 (8-rad), Sd Kfz 231 (8-rad) 85 pts

1500 Points, 4 Platoons

It has no big 5 tank platoons, a problem when having to assault, but it's fast and has recon. But I can always attach Rettemeier to one of the PzIII platoons while 2iC is going to spend his time with other PzIVs.

Smoke could be usefull but that would mean I'd either have to had nebelwerfers, which would ruin the idea of this force being fully mobile, or a platoon of Panzer IV F1s.

So here's my idea for MW DAK. All comments and ideas are more than welcomed.
