Thoughts on the list?

What are the SdKfz 250/9's packing weapons-wise? The list looks like it'd do well against infantry but against serious tanks it'd be in trouble, even with the 6 hummels.

The 250/9's are AT 5, the 233's are AT 9, noting what you said, I can squeeze in a Heavy Platoon with just the gun section (2 more AT 9 guns) at the cost of downgrading the OP Panzer II's back to halftracked observers and subtracting an armoured car patrol, that would leave the list at 1740 (1745 when I add a panzerknacker to the Aufklärungsschwadron Platoon)

EDIT: Did not contemplate downgrading the Hummels to Wespes and figuring if I could fit in the Heavy Platoon like that, but I like the threat the Hummel poses.

You'll want the Hummels.

I also just noticed that your list is MW. I think you'll be ok with this set up. You'll leave dealing with the occasional big tank to your hummels.

You need something to give you some smoke. All of your SdKfz's are paper thin and WILL get blown up like crazy. That being said, some armored mortars or something to provide a smoke screen can keep more of them alive, which is always good.

Otherwise I think the list is pretty solid, though me personally I'd like to see more infantry, but thats just me. In encounter or FFA you can only really defend 1 obj at a time, and infantry are good for sealing the deal.
