Armies

Some examples of Flames of War armies

Armoured Fist

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.

Armoured Squadrons: The list below has one Crusader Armoured Squadron and one Grant Armoured Squadron.   In order to provide a better balance between the two squadrons in the list below, each has leant the other one troop.

The Panzer III (short 5cm) is outclassed by Grant or Sherman tanks but nearly half of the Panzer IIIs at El Alamein were this model.
