Hi guys,

dammit, I've just gone and ordered the FoW rulebook!

Anyway, as I've never played FoW before I thought it'd be nice to find out about the different forces available? How do they compare to eachother and what are their play-styles like?

ie; do the Brits have good arty and do they require conservative 'bite & hold tactics'?

Thanks in advance guys!

Brits have some of the best artillery (Royal Horse) in the game with lots of extra special rules for them. An 8 gun 25 pounder battery is a main stay in my Desert Rats.

No, Brits do not have to sit back and hunker down. Tally Ho!

Glad to hear the 25pdrs are well represented then!

Fallschirmjager are rock hard infantry but you can suffer from smaller sized armies/numbers of platoons and can be slow to get around the battlefield

Thanks Dobbsy - that's the kind of description I'm after!

Can Fallschirmjager have support from Panzers/Marders? I'm looking to start two small 600pt forces.

I'm planning to use my new 15mm Russes in FoW games. :-)

Nice.

You don't have some 15mm Guardsmen as well do you?
