Hey all, first time posting but I have been a long time lurker so I hope ya'll don't mind. I have been reading JasonC's posts about good force mixes for small (300-400pt) quick battles, and cannot WAIT to try his suggestions out. However he has been talking about German units. I was wondering what is a good combined arms force for an attacking American 400 point QB? To me it seems that the plain vanilla US infantry company would do pretty well with a few shermans, with some recon/light tanks. I don't have the game in front of me tho so I can't quite figure out what would be feasable (sp?!). Any help, especially from the illustrious JasonC would be greatly appreciated. I just really like the basic US infantry co due to their pretty self contained nature. I mean in one (relatively) cheap unit you get 2 MMGs, an HMG, zooks, good infantry squads with nice long range firepower, and of course, the best small on map mortar of the game, the 60mm. What would I need to add to this force to make it a potent combined arms attack force?
