However, despite losing a lot of guys in some very deep Mumak prints, I pulled through in the end. <br /><br />They are a pretty cool model (both looks and ow they play), so it made for quite an enjoyable game . <br /><br />Kent's list is a pretty good antitode to mass allied tanks - even allied tank lists with Panthers!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369646895032210867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837051353071347442.post-30425713454265481952010-10-15T14:00:33.242+13:002010-10-15T14:00:33.242+13:00Marginal randomness isn't working for me and y...Marginal randomness isn't working for me and yes the core is pretty forgiving. A 4th firefly would add some robustness to the second tank platoon. <br /><br />re: Panzers. I think it might be Kent's Conquest list- it was literally made up on the fly but definitely grew on him. <br /><br />The hummels + nebs seemed to work well- hummels are too expensive to waste for smoke but can cause carnage with their high AT and FP (both as artillery or direct fire) and the nebs give a good cheap smoke option. Its weakness is the 3 strength platoon of panzer IVs but Kent intends to use the 2iC with them. It also is a list that needs to wear down an opponent so must be carefully managed. 4 panthers are hard to ignore on table!<br /><br />How did WoTR go last night?<br /><br />CraigCraig Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18031689389909172807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837051353071347442.post-82493322542860097292010-10-15T13:43:48.826+13:002010-10-15T13:43:48.826+13:00Hi Craig, I almost feel like you might miss that a...Hi Craig, I almost feel like you might miss that air - marginal though it is. It seems like the list is still pretty solid without the extra stuff in there? <br /><br />I like Kent's list. Is that what he is planning on bringing along to Conquest?Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369646895032210867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837051353071347442.post-42095058925705829782010-10-14T20:49:08.469+13:002010-10-14T20:49:08.469+13:00re: the cloth.

It's one of my desert ones-it's a light browny shade but looks a bit weird in the photos.<br /><br />My dark green cloth is still under a table full of bocage which I couldn't be naffed putting away, but will probably make the effort to for our rematch next week as it does look a little odd (or we'll use Kent's) :) Problem with gaming at the club- having to take your own gear, its much easier to game at home, or someone else's place as you don't need to waste time on set up, or have a time limit as to the end. <br /><br />Will make sure we have a more camera friendly cloth for the game next week.<br /><br />CraigCraig Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592543210821530318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837051353071347442.post-68915856558969026042010-10-14T20:42:32.699+13:002010-10-14T20:42:32.699+13:00Doh, my maths is off!

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt :)<br /><br />CraigCraig Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592543210821530318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837051353071347442.post-3112793483586865442010-10-14T19:56:29.910+13:002010-10-14T19:56:29.910+13:002 dead panthers, one bialed, one okay = no morale ...2 dead panthers, one bialed, one okay = no morale test! @##@$###@!!!!<br /><br />No way!
