  1. Your "support" has more points than what it's supposed to be supporting. Is that an artifact of the system, or are you avoiding fielding more infantry. In my opinion, more infantry = better game, regardless of rules.

    I know you're only operating within the confines of the game, but that's one of the problems I find with FoW. Did I mention I despise points systems?

    They eventually give rise to "48 points of forward firing power" and other such nonsense.

    But that's not the question you asked.

  2. I agree...Your support has a lot more points into it than your line company..Fuck it who am I to talk. Im the guy thats investing close to 1000 points into tanks.

  3. I have maxed out my Combat Platoons and tanks are freaking expensive. I could probably drop the arty, but they provide great amount of supporting fire. Any platoon that is hit even once by artillery is pinned down, great for suppressing them before the assault phase.

    If I drop the arty I could add an ammunition & pioneer platoon and max out the bazooka teams attached through out the company.

    Tanks are just crazy expensive, but I need to have them as a support element to go up against other tank pushers.

    The nice thing about our group though is we can throw down and not be even on points if it makes since in a historically viable scenario.
