Some examples of Flames of War armies
The Armoured Fist book covers the British forces in North Africa. Some sample lists are shown below.
Australian Rifle Company: The list below is based on the core 1200pt force that I used for all my v2 and v3 mid-war games, adding extra support to bring up to 1500, 1650, 1750 pts are required. In v4 this is only 68 points, so its relatively cheaper than in v3.
