who has 'winning list' recommendations from LW Armies?

I think Germans: PanzerGrenadiers and Panzer IV formations are the best. most varied options in the core formation to take on the most varied encounters and not have to dip into support.

support needs to be sacrificial shit in V4

So, what are people’s thoughts on Armies of Late War?

My own personal opinion is that any existing LW players can skip it. The lists are super generic and not worth your time if you’ve already been playing Late War for quite some time.

You’ll likely have an army already built from one of the much better more specific books that are out there.

That being said, I could potentially see recommending it to players who are completely and totally new, know little about any of the major historical campaigns, and are just looking to get started playing with a basic list for any of the major powers in Europe.

It’s a one-stop-shop for the basics for each of the four major nations.

For those who are looking for more specific and flavorful stuff however,
I’d still recommend the relevant campaign-specific book.

>support needs to be sacrificial shit in V4

Maybe not sacrificial, but non-essential.

The big thing about V4 is that support is meant to be exactly that. Support.

The core units of your formation(s) are what are meant to be the backbone of your force.

You lose your core units, your formation and any support units might flee.

Is there a link from whom I ca download the team cards and then print them? I don't want to cash them in yet, since I only got the starter and a box full of Brits in the desert.

get cheersed

Phil Cheersed all of LW. Basic options are no longer available.
1. You cannot equip a full panzergrenadier platoon with fausts.
2. No kangaroo carriers
3. Cannot add applique armor to churchills...
4. No option to ad .50cal AA mgs kn transports or tanks

And best of all, points are not updated for the new edition.

Fuck you Phil you smug cunt.

Yeah, I’d probably only recommend it for new players, but even then I would give them some words of advice to stay away from the heavy tank formations. I don’t know why the CV Panther and CV Tiger formations are a thing. It’s just a trap for new players.

Everyone likes Seven Samurais!

New Players?

LW is not getting new players. The era is getting lacklustre support from BF and most LW communities have already imploded. I know mine did.

Fuck you Phil for ruining the hobby.
