It’s kinda hard to answer your question because it depends on how much you are willing to spend, do you want to play historically, do you only want to collect one type of fleet? I would say that it would be hard to win many games if you go German and then play against someone who is bringing an American fleet. I say this because the Germans (and let’s add the Italians, French, Australian, and even to some extent the British) are so underpowered in the way of air power that I think you would lose every time. If you play historically and avoid any kind of cheesy fleet combinations…well, you might have a chance. In my opinion, and that’s all it is, you’d be hard pressed to beat an American fleet in a 150pt or higher game. At that point level you can bring a battleship, two carriers and enough planes to destroy whatever your opponent is bringing…only a Japanese fleet with multiple Yamatos might stand a chance against an equal point American fleet. Let’s say you collect only a German fleet…how would you stop my air power? I’d have all your ships sunk before you made it within striking distance. Maybe I’m full of crap, but, I’d say go American if you want the most balance and options. Maybe the second set of WaS will have more air support for the Germans and the other Axis powers (Japan not included) but as it stands now…they’d get crushed. I don’t think that would be much fun for you.
Need suggestions for Axis 100 point army
-
Hi folks,
Does anyone have any suggestions for a 100 pt Axis army as well as strategy. I have been extremly lucky in my boxed sets. What do you think 1944 limit.
Should I
Panzer IV
Hetzer
Stuka
SS Haupsturm
SS Storm Trooper
Kar 98
Vet Infantry
Panzer Gren
Fortress Defend100
or
Vet Tiger
SS Haupstrum
SS Stormtroop
Panzer Gren
Kar 98
Black Shirt
Vet InfantryStrategies welcome

A Veteran Tiger is way too risky for a 100 point army. An American player that fields a “Locksteed” will kill an infantry every round and all hell have to do is have 2 or 3 shermans to kill off the Veteran Tiger. I would recommend a Panzer IV along with two ME-109 and several SS Panzergrenadiers a long with the Haupsmenfuhrer.

Thanks Mech. Tiger out. I’ll save that for a nasty surprise. Don’t have any ME’s yet nor any SS PG’s. I’ll have to get on that. I suspect he will be unable to field more than 2 shermans. My 1st game is on the 9th.

Cool. By the way im not saying you shouldnt use the Tiger at all. If the game was say 200 points, then its cool to use a Tiger. However since its only a 100 point game, then Id say you shouldnt. Use well placed PAK40’s to cover your armor, two of them should be enough in a 100 point game.

Yes the Tiger will be unleashed. Your right though too much risk and I feel it would demoralize my opponent too much. I have a pak 40 and sfz 250 I’ll use.
I’ve been reading a lot on Mortars any thoughts? I have a disc. Spotter and a 81 mm what about mg42’s I have a couple of those too. It just seems a steep price to pay (20pts) for a mortar and support.
Again I was skunked on sspg at my local shop. Are SS stormtroopers as good?
