I really like the sound of this platoon, and those Snap-to in the vehicles with officers is in rules I have to Warlord that I feel should be included in V3 of the game. For the officer, I would definitely scrape the points to add 2 extra guys with him. He is front line, up in the face of the enemy and so you need his unit to be pumping as many shots as possible. They get ARs for free so for 20 points you have 6 shots and a mini combat unit that will support the 2 infantry and one vehicle unit shooting. You can nerf one enemy unit by dumping 4 pins on them or annoy two enemy by putting 2 pins each and making assaulting next turn easier, or pinning out a unit if possible the following turn if stacked with pins from other units in the army. I'll be writing up a list around this platoon today just for the fun of it!
FYI on the points overage of the first list. There is a 1 point-per-man difference between the fortress Budapest book and Easy Army. Using the book, I clocked isaac’s list at 998.
One big advantage that most over look between halftracks and trucks/ wheeled is the halftracks can ignore walls and fences wheeled can not. So if you end up having such terrain in front and both sides of a truck then you are basically in a kill box with no easy way out. But with a half track you can choose where ever it would give you the best cover and so more modifiers with hits, go over such obstacles and so continue. Hard to believe Mrs. Mables little picket fence can stop cold a 2 1/2 ton truck but that is how it is in Bolt Action world.
Having the reach is great if it's in obstacle free but that i'll be a rare occurrence. One of the counters to Sturmpioneers in HFCs is making it difficult for them to rush up - deployment and objective positioning is key along with a unit on ambush. One of the reasons why I run a sdkfz10 costs a bit more but ignores Mrs Mable's picket fence and green house :)
@@bazza1carter I do the cheaper Maultier with MMG and take the extra points by not taking a 250 or 251 and investing in fleshing out squads. Another favorite is the lowly Kettenkrad moving it between two buildings that is only wide enough for infantry and so sit there near the main objective waiting until around turn 5 then bam heres a flamethrower or Panzerschrek to the party.
Hi Bo, recently discovered your channel and thought this would be a great place to ask for some advice! I'm going to The Bolt Action GT as my first GT, which is in Nottingham in August 24', and would appreciate some feedback on a list I'm looking at taking. What would be the best way for me to send this to you, if youre interested? Thanks!

Seems like a fun list
