Fallschirmjaeger List

[mcginn]

So the other day Bob brought a Para list and I thought I'd bring a Fallshirm company to reenact the battle in Band of Brothers. I have to say I'm really impressed with what that list can do. I found out I was 30 points over in my list. I developed a new list that's more permanent:

HQ
Pzschreck team

Fallschirm zug with faust
Fallschirm zug with faust

4x 8cm mortars
Fallschirmpioneers

2x Stugs

2x II Flakkorps 8.8s

4x sFH18 howitzers

All infantry zugs are full strength the stugs are CV instead of FV and the 8.8s are RT. 7 platoons

*edit* for anyone curious, Fallschirmjaeger literally translates to falling chute hunter, but this is funny because regenschirm is umbrella so there is a joke about falling umbrella hunters.

Falschrim are just dirty lol 10 stands units that are RMG teams and FV to boot. Very points efficient list.

Well Market Garden is coming and will contain two new para lists a FT and a FV so expect to see rules for them like all the new books.

Market Garden? I'm surprised they didn't wait until bulge what with all the Von Der Heyte crap weve seen in the previous books he's been in

Why not Market Garden? The 6th Regiment (VDHs Regiment and the FV in Market Garden) divided the highway and played a major part in delaying XXX Corps. Because of his actions in Market Garden VDH was promotoed to Airborne Army Commander.

Yes I realize that, but whenever Von Der Heyte is mentioned they always talk about his capture during the Bulge drop. I was just surprised that with all that they didn't wait. I believe I mentioned that in my post. Though I agree with Buthrakaur on his observations.

looks pretty good. . . ive been tinkering with something like it

heres my idea

Hq 2ic with faust - 70

platoon - faust - 275
platoon - faust - 275
2 tube mortar - 80
half fallshpio platoon - 230
3 pak 38's - 130

cv 105's - 210
cv 4 stugs - 380

7 platoons if i need to i can kaumf group up to 8 by taking one section from each platoon to make 3 six man platoons to run around
