Regulars are as you’d expect hit on a 3+, skill of 4+ with no tactics rating, yet they have a remount of 3+ and a last stand of 3+. ![]() Additionally the Jumbo, Easy Eight and M4 Sherman all remount on a 3, all good stats for a pretty low cost per tank over regulars. skill is a 4 however they have a tactics on a 3+. Veteran tanks are hit on a 4+ as you’d expect. The normal non-veteran M4 Sherman (Late) Company does not have the same range of choices for it’s core platoons excluding the options I’d mentioned before where M4 Shermans can be either upgraded or replaced with M4 Easy Eights or a single Jumbo with the 1-1 swap. Like the Ferdinand they are a unit which parks and confidential says “none shall pass.” At most you’ll only be able to field 1 Super Pershing per platoon. That’ll give lots (but not all) Germans a bad day. It’s 90mm gun has an AT18 with 48″ range. The next tank is the Super Pershing, it’s the one that I think will become important in anticipate of the Tiger II, JadgTiger and so on. ![]() This is the kind of unit which can be a game winner and as such, if you play American, you’re going to want to pick up a box of these tanks. With Front Armor of 9, a AT14 90mm gun, this is the American Tiger… but did I mention the price? 9-10 points each. This is the formation to field in order to access this kind of hardware especially as part of the core formation. High frontal armor, great gun, everything to make you pretty proud as you deploy on the table for the first time hoping your opponent is starting to sweet bullets. The T26 Pershing and Super Pershing are the American version of the dreaded Tiger and better. With M26 Pershing options or Stuart/Chaffee options in the core platoons, instead of M4 Shermans, you can craft a list with no Shermans in it save for the HQ platoon. The Veteran Sherman (Late) Companies gives you the most options for adding in different hardware into your Sherman based list. Additional M4 Sherman platoons, veteran or not can be upgraded where all M4 Shermans are replaced with M4 Easy Eights, or one Sherman can be replaced with an M4 Jumbo. Do you minimize and build up your support or do you maximize that’s a good question. At 4-5 points per tank depending on if you take the normal or veteran option, the work horse tank looks to be a reasonable value. For a single point per tank you can upgrade the Sherman to a 76mm gun.įurther using the Uparmored M4 Sherman (Late) command card, you can up the front armor to 8 at a cost of 1 point per tank however the cross check then increases to a 4+. Both formation type is built around the M4 Sherman with it’s base 7 frontal armor and 75mm gun as a base. Either way they are designed (Late) and no that doesn’t affect your reinforcement roll. The Sherman tank companies come in two flavors, the Veteran and normal. List wise, the book and command cards introduce the following tank formations. By this I mean lists where the core units (ie black box) are armored. In this article we’re going to focus on Tank oriented lists contained in the book and command cards. ![]() This pushes American lists further into 1944-1945 offering American players lots of good options.
