Starting Flames of War

Despite what you may have guessed with regard to my last post, I actually am putting the Warhammer Fantasy Army on the back burner. Most of the group of miscreants I hang out with are more interested in pursing Flames of War. As I have started reading the rules I've fallen under it's spell as well.

It doesn't hurt that for my birthday I got three Panzer IIIs, a Panzergrenadier platoon, and two StuG G's.

Links of Note:
Anyway, the next step for me, is coming up with an initial list. They were very helpful at Great Hall with providing guiding me in my first steps. It is a bit tricky wrapping my head around how to build an army list for this game because of the very wide variety of options compared to something like 40k.



I'm thinking that based on what I HAVE so far, I'm going to try something like this (about 1500 pts).

1 Company HQ @ 235 Pts
    1 HQ Section @ [55] Pts

Looks good, I have my books with me today so I should be able to get my first 1500 pts list/ buying list created. I have a bit more than you do with 4xM4 Shermans, 2xM20 tank Destroyers, 1xM10 scout car, and 4x rifle platoons w/ company HQ section and weapons platoon. I think it is around 1000 pts
