| Hello Philly! |
A few months back Battlefront posted up on the Flames website that they'd be hosting a team tournament. Mitch invited Ben and I to join him and Jim for an epic multi-day throw down. And boy howdy did we have a blast!
Here's the set up: 6 teams competed over 5 rounds of 1750 late war games, 1 fair fight, 2 mobile battles and 2 defensive battles. The team with the best score wins eternal glory, and a neat plaque. Each team could only be made up of 1 army per nationality (commonwealth Brits were different than "mainline" and all the small countries were available as well) and you could only double up on one list type (mech, tank, inf etc...).
After some tough negotiations our team decided to run the following:
Me: Panzergrenadier Lehr (Earth & Steel)
HQ with 2x Panzerschrek
2x Full Panzergrenadier Lehr Platoons
Panzerpio Lehr with 5 tracks and 2 stuka zu fuss tracks
