British Rifles all the way. We are like roaches. We dig in deep and you can't kill all of us...just dont ask us to attack anything.

I play the 116th Panzer Regiment with a bit of assist from Division by way of a full platoon of Armoured Panzerpioneers. Lots of Panzer IV-H's, StuG's, with a touch of Panthers and Panzer II-L's for spice. And Mobelwagens just because I can.

Primary opponent normally plays a Polish Armoured Company.

British Airborne first and formost.

British Armour is my second army - patiently awaiting the M.G. books so I can update my Guards Armoured and Red Devils and finally have a fair chance against the hordes of Heavy german panzer lists I see these days.

Thats not to say that I always loose to the Tigers and Kingtigers, but its always waaay too bloody to break through them.

Oh also Sturmcompanies - I hate those with a venehemence that burns brighter than the sun! HATE them.

Mid-war German, Russians and Canadians. Mutable companies of each, with tank,airborne, infantry, or mech infantry options available. I have been playing more of this then anything else lately because of some friends interest.

I allso have a German Panzerkomanie, 2 Panzer IV H for HQ an 2 Panzer platoon of 3 Panzer IV H, 3 Panzer III M, Panzer Grenadier, 2 Tiger IE , Ace roll are cool, But my Motorised Scout Platoon has saved me from lossing the last game I had buy not passing there motivation test and staying put.I have played with this Army 5 times. Flames of War is a great game, love it.

This is one of those games where I'd definitely have more armies if I played more often.

I started off in late 1st edition with an american rifle co. Then due to loss of players, schedule changes, etc, I stopped playing.....for 2 years. Now I'm back with those ground-pounders in a late-war escalation league. I've always wanted to do an american armored rifle co, as well as an afrika korps force.

I play 8th Soviet Guards. Currently sporting almost 3k points of mixed heavy and medium Guardsvizy Tankovy. Also working on a Red Army Strelkovy with OT-34 Flame Tank attachments with Air Support.

Planning on after this to shift to Normandy and field an 1st Special Service Battalon from the British Commandos in Normandy Breifing with Naval Gun Support and British Airborne.

2nd SS Das Reich Gepantz Panzergrenadiers (about 2,500pts)
2nd SS Das Reich Panzer Company (2,000pts)
101st Swere Panzer Company (1,500pts)

Then, maybe I'll moved into Mid-war :D

I don't currently play FoW but am looking at getting into it. I was considering starting, and when I found out it was made by a New Zealand company I decided I'd better support the local economy.
The trouble is I don't know who/what to play :(

If they had the Pacific Theater I'd definitely be the United States Marine Corps (Oorah!)
The problem is that since they don't, I have to make a pick from Europe/Mediteranea/Africa.
I like the Soviets, the Germans and the Americans! Gah!

I have several lists that I have put together over the past 8 months or so as I finally managed to talk the local store into carrying it.

I have about a 3500 point 21st Panzerdivision for North Africa;
I have a list of about 3000 points of the 9th SS 'Hohenstaufen' focusing on the Panzergrenadiers which I can switch over to a 9th SS Panzerkompanie easily enough by adding/swapping out several tanks and losing some Panzergrenadiers and the Heavy Weapons squad.

On the American side I currently have the 82nd Airborne just at about 900 points but they need some support which I am working on in the form of XXX Corps Irish Guard for A Bridge too Far and Hell's Highway.

This could mean the British Aiirborne under Frost will soon be joining my forces especially as currently sitting on my terrain table are the materials to try and duplicate the town of Arnhem as seen in the ABTF book and in the latest Wargames Illustrated.

US 101st Airborne.

I originally wanted to base them on the siege of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge, but since Flames of War doesn't have a book out for that yet, I use the Hell's Highway list. I have a 1750 point army, and just have a few Shermans left to paint before it's complete.

I've also been thinking of starting a late war German Panzer Company as well.
