Haha. That’s pretty much my rationale. A very iconic look.

Excellent. Thanks for the added research. I’ll stick with fielding Grants then.

Thanks chaps.
I currently have a grant and a honey. I’ll probably get a 2nd grant then and run with that. 3 of the same tank is a little dull to collect.

After sometime away, I’m dipping back into BA. To motivate me into a return, I am now building up a new army. My current force is 8th army british (north Africa), mostly regular. For my new force I am going for a more elite German list, themed around Ramcke’s Brigade in Africa, with regular artillery/ armour support. So currently looking at standard German Reinforced Platoon selector, following the Rommel Triumphant structure:

2nd Lt + chum
7 man E/W Fallschirmjager incl LMG
7 man E/W Fallschirmjager incl LMG
8 man E/W Fallschirmjager incl 1 x smg
Truck Transport (with MMG)
8 man E/W Fallschirmjager incl 1 x smg
Truck Transport (with MMG)
Light mortar (vet)
Medium Machine Gun (Vet)
Anti-tank rifle (Vet)
50mm Pak 38 (regular)
SdKfz 233 (regular)
12 dice.

Then to expand to a Defence of Italy for later war games.
To use the Rommel Triumphant selector, I could just count all the infantry as Veterans and drop the Fallshirmjager price tag and Stubborn. Would people be happy facing FJ models as Veterans only?
