Late War German infantry list? Show me your best.

Hello,

I would like to try to bring a Late War German infantry list to a tournament but it seems I never manage to build anything really satisfactory. The FJ list here is for example, and it is ok, but not really what I am after, it turns out.

Do you have any LW German infantry list you think really works well, anything you'd be happy to bring to a tournament if only for fun and place at least in the first half?

(Why infantry? Because I really would like to see if it is possible to have a fighting chance with infantry rather than the eternal "combined arms".)

Thanks a lot.

WW2 rule combat idea (feedback)?

Hello,
The picture is mainly for eye candy for a game will have in a few days but I wanted to ask for opinions on a rule approach we are considering to accelerate the games.

Our ruleset (All Hell Let Loose) use formations for activation. I was thinking of allowing any formation that is shot at to shoot back automatically, regardless whether it was activated for the turn or not.
So, if 3 enemy formations engage successively formation B, formation B is allowed to shoot back 3 times, once at each formation (or at least any of the survivors).

I think that it could be applied to most WW2 miniature wargames.

Any feedback on this approach? You think it could work?

Cheers

American Civil War in 10mm or 12-13mm scale?

Hello,

I am seriously hesitating between the two scales. One would be Pendraken + Cracker Line/Plant road for 10mm or Warlord Epic ACW + Kallistra for 12-13mm.

It is not such an easy choice at this stage because it means I have to commit to one size of models, and that will be it.

For rulesets, I will be mostly rotating between Longstreet, Altar of Freedom and Hot Lead & Cold steel.

My current collection for AWI is in 10mm and I enjoyed it, but I am wondering whether painting will not be a bit more fun with the slightly bigger 12-13mm figures. Or maybe I just need a change.

If I go Warlord + Kallistra it will be, according to my calculations 30% less expensive

Anyone else faced this problem? Anything I am not considering?

Thank you

Failing your players?

As much as I root for my players and try to support their initiatives and ideas, sometimes they fail. Do you have to make them succeed at all costs for the sake of the adventure or just accept that every module cannot be successful.

I am asking because for the first time, an adventure that I ran wasn't successfully completed. It wasn't a bad session but it clearly ended in an unconclusive dead-end. They did not save the day.

I am not entirely set but I went with "if they screw up, they screw up". No everyone is a hero.

What's your view on this? Success at all costs? Go with defeat?

Hello,
I have tons of figures to paint in 10mm for the French Revolution Wars. Google recommends General D'armee, Black Powder, etc...

I know these set of rules and I have played them a lot. They would not be my first choice at all for FRW!!

Do you know of specific sets that would work very well for French Revolutionary wars?

We played two games today with Early War models. We used simpler rules this time (flames of war) and it was fine.
Both games were shorter than planned. The first game was a German infantry list versus a French Infantry list. The German spent too much time preparing their attack with supporting units and could not capture the objectives in time.
The second game was a German tank list vs a French tank unit. Then again, the German counter attacked too early instead of grouping their force and taking their time. The end result was for the French to destroy the thin German forces piecemeal and capture the main objective.
