Bitten by a Mid War Monster (AGAIN!)

Hi!

I've been bitten by a Mid War Monster (again!) and after BF publishing the new points limits for MW I started to update my older 1500 points MW list. As with the older list my idea was to go with a full armor heavy Panzer force. With both lists the plan is to rush and rush and rush. And die trying.




In the old list the plan was to put Rettemeier with the other PzIII platoon and 2iC with PzIV platoon and while 8-rads lifts GtG and PzIVs fire all they can on the enemy, the PzIIIs would berushing forward and trying to overwhelm one flank.

With the new list the plan is about the same except I'll have a platoon of 4 PzIIIs and Rettemeier rushing an enemy while PzIVs and Tiger give my forces some cover. I know the Tiger is not perhaps the smartest choice as it costs as much as a platoon of PzIIIs but its way too juicy when almost everything just bounces off its thick hide in Mid War.

I'm also trying to keep this as cost minimum as possible as I bet in friendly games I can use my Tiger I E with zimmerit and PzIV Hs as proxies. I have enough 8-rads too so that would leave me just 4 PzIII L or Ns (I like the non-schürtzen model more...), Rettemeier and the recovery Sd Kfz 9 Famo half-track to buy. But I think I could proxy the recovery vehicle too with a Sd Kfz 251 in friendly games.
