1750 Exactly...

Your not very mobile at all. You'll do fine in a defensive situation. You also need as many bazookas as you can have, and snipers are overrated (in my opinion) as they're benefits are not really outweighed by their costs and cons.

If you want to run a trackless Para list, then you need to think about some sort of recon or something that gets a little jump on the gun.

What are the stats on your AT Platoon? If they are the AT 10 ones, then you might want to consider Air Power to help keep the bigger tanks honest (like Tigers, etc.) otherwise they'll just have a field day with you.

You also have 7 platoons. You want to try to have an even number for morale and deployment purposes.

Hope it helps!

You need to play more games and buy orange dice............ are you going to be able to play Flames this week? Let me know Rufus.

But my 82nd airborne dice are orange...

I have a platoon of Recon jeeps still the box. I should try them out then to see how they work. The Anti-Tank is def 10... I also have thunderbolts but they haven't been very nice to me so far. I could take out the sniper and fit 2 maybe 3 more bazooka teams.

Question: Planes count as a platoon in terms of company morale? And in games were half of your platoons go into reserve, do also apply that rule to planes?

Ditch sniper and get more Bazookas. It'll make any tank heavy force think twice about getting to close to your units. Also be aggressive. I have the 101st AB and I make it a point to advance on the enemy aggressively(ask Rufus) . Chase those tanks down if they decide to sit back and try to pick you off. If your fighting a defensive battle then stay put and dig in. Consider some armor support as well. Hell's Highway has a great AB list with plenty of Brit armor for support.

No, air support does not count as a platoon towards motivation checks or as a reserve.

Eric is right, Air Support doesn't count towards anything.

Ok how about this:

1750 82nd Airborne Company. 

Headquarters. (105)
Company hq. 30
1 smg team. 15
3 bazooka teams. 60 

Parachute rifle platoons. (690)
3 rifle squads. 255
3 extra rifle/mg teams. 90
3 rifle squads. 255
3 extra rifle/mg teams. 90

Parachute mortar platoon. 
2 mortar sections. 135

Parachute field artillery battery. 
2 gun sections. 135

Guards armored platoon. 
3 sherman V's and 1 firefly VC. 375 

Airborne divisional recon platoon. 
1 recon section. 160 

Limited air support.
P-47 thunderbolt. 150

That's 6 platoons+planes. Also more mobile. Still only 6 bazooka teams though.

Now attach the bazookas to you Para rifle platoons. Artillery is more reliable than air support. Keep that in mind.

True but my first list had almost no mobility. I guess I tried to make it more balance with tanks, armored jeeps, an planes... I could also take a second field artillery for the same price as as the mortars... I quit.

The light artillery has a bit more punch than the mortars. I forget if they can smoke.

They can, or they should be able to anyways.

The only cool thing about the mortar platoon is that they can take bazooka teams.

Dude, where'd you and your brother go?
