FoW – US Light tank company
Recently I painted a couple of Stuart and Scott tanks.
HQ platoon (M3)
Combat Platoon (M3)
Combat Platoon (M5) driving a U-turn
Combat Platoon (M5)
The 75mm howitzers of the M8 Scott have a poor anti-tank-rating but offer a fair points-firepower-ratio in bombardments.
That’s 20 tanks for less than 1200 points.
When I started Flames of War I deployed a small platoon of three M5 Stuart only to fill a gap in a 1500 point army list.
It turned out that these small tanks are quite useful. In some games they performed the decisive strike that led to victory.
So I wanted to build up a company with HQ and three full strength platoons of Stuart tanks. To have even more light tanks I added an assault gun platoon with M8 Scott.
That’s 20 tanks for less than 1200 points.
Due to the Light Tank special rule they are some of the fastest vehicles in Flames of War. (40cm and 80cm on the double).
I am curious how they will perform in action.
