As this is my first DAR, I will try to keep it short and simple. All comments welcomed.
We decided to play a March 1943 (South) ME with 750 points each that would be imported with the map and 1250 points to spend as we like using the Redwolf Armour Rules for this time period. The 750+/- points each went to:
-Romanian Reinforced Recon Co. that includes 4x infantry platoons, 4x ZB37 HMGs, 2x ZB30 LMGs, 2x 60mm mortars, 1x 47mm ATGun
-4x Renault R-35 tanks
And on the Alllied side the 750+/- points went to:
-1x Brigade Rifle Co.
-1x Brigade Rifle Platoon
-2x DP LMGs
-4x Maxim MGs
-2x 50mm mortars
-1x 45mm ATGun
107thCav. took the Allied side which leaves me with some Germans to pick from. The troop quality is set to medium so at best I will wind up with is some sprinkling of Vet. and Green troops with the majority being Regular. I tend to lean a little to the infantry heavy side of the scale but with only 1250 points to spend and the thought of seeing T-34s in abundance, I am going to up-armour my force somewhat.
-1x Pz IV G platoon
-1x Marder II
-1x Pioneer platoon
-1x Jager platoon
-1x 81mm FO
-1x20mm Quad Flak Gun
-1x Tank Hunter team
-1x ATR team
-1x Truck
-1x Kubelwagen
-1x Green Sharpshooter(just not enough points for a Reg.)
I want to be able to move both guns with some speed, thus the lift purchases. The map has a fair number of light buildings on it so the pioneers will serve to blast away the enemy strongpoints in the town if needed. The map has 2100 points in flags so ignoring the flags is not an option. Yet, I do not think that all flags are able to be controlled by my side. So the plan is to get control of the easy flags and then wittle his forces down while I move in with my infantry and fight for the flags that can be taken. I'll leave the tough ones for my enemy, and hope that through a combination of flag control and casualties to work out a win.
