Two troops of three 76mm Shermans - all from Battlefront I think.
A troop/battery of M10s. Cheap, gun no better than a regular Sherman and open topped, so no match for German armour in a stand up fight and really vulnerable to artillery. Did I mention they were cheap though.
Two of these were from the Battlefront tank destroyer box set, which came with 2 jeeps and an M20.
An M18 Hellcat. Cheap, open topped and still not much better gun than a Sherman - again, not much use in a stand up fight.
An M36 Jackson - 90mm gun so at least a bit more oomph. Still open topped and again not much good in a stand up fight.
M20 utility car with .50 cal. Just realised - this one needs some decals.
Back these up with some on table 105s with a spotter team and pre-reg target, off table 3" mortars and a platoon of infantry and they should be able to put out some fire power. Even 105mm howitzers can give a Kingtiger a bad day with a killing hit and a good dice roll. Probably needed as I'm up against Tiger Phil tonight!!!!
Looking good, Andy, always had a soft spot in my heart for the M-10s.
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck against 'Tiger Phil'!

Thanks Jack. True to form, Phil turned up with a Tiger 1, Jagdpanther and platoon of Panthers. Luckily, with a 105mm battery and medium mortar battery off table, I was able to keep him at arms length. I only managed to KO the Jagdpanther with a 105mm strike, but managed to pin the Tiger enough times that Phil had to draw chits to unpin, so the constant whittling down of breakpoint eventually added up. Lost a lot of the Shermans though, they are really no match for German 75mm or 88mm tank guns.
