Just over a week to go to Fracas

I'm making my second trip to Wanganui for Fracas on the 10th of Aug for the Battle of the Bulge themed 700pts Flames of war Tournament. In finishing 1st equal last year using a Fuhrer Brigade list i decided to go with a force from Blood guts and glory for something different this time.

This is what I'm using.
Tank Company HQ
*CinC M4 or M4A1 Sherman (65 pts)

Compulsory Tank Platoon
*Command M4 or M4A1 Sherman, 2x M4 or M4A1 Sherman (190 pts)
- Tank upgrade 1 - Replace M4 or M4A1 Sherman with M4A3 Sherman (5 pts)
- Tank upgrade 2 - Replace M4 or M4A1 Sherman with M4A3 Sherman (5 pts)
- Tank upgrade 3 - Replace M4 or M4A1 Sherman with M4A3 Sherman (5 pts)

Armored Mortar Platoon
*Command Carbine, M2 half-track equipped with .50cal AA MG, 2x M4 81mm MMC (60 pts)

Sherman Assault Gun Platoon
*Command M4A3 (105mm) Sherman, 5x M4A3 (105mm) Sherman (320 pts)

Recon Platoon
*Command Rifle, M2 half-track equipped with .50cal AA MG, Rifle, Jeep (50 pts)

700 Points, 4 Platoons

with the missions being 
Game 1- Dust-Up, Game 2- Pincer, Game 3- Dust-Up, Game 4- Pincer, Game 5- Dust-Up.
I wanted 2 platoons as small as possible (only costing 110pts) so i would have max points on the table with the other 2. And being tank army hoping to be attacker in the other games meaning ill have all on. Hoping to over whelm the enemy quickly.

  1. You should have fun using the 105 Shermans ... they are horrible to face with the breakthrough ability.
    Good luck for the tournament .
