Getting ready to play (J144 Three For the Third) tomorrow against a very experienced opponent as the Americans. I am torn as to what which AFV Group as should choose. My Options are as follows:
M21 MC Mortar Halftrack x 2 or M18 MGMC and an M8 Armored Car.
The Mortar Halftracks with give the American Player additional WP smoke capability, However, the depletion number is only a seven and are vulnerable to the German Aircraft.
The M18 MGMC Halftrack has an IFT Equivalent of 24 out to 16 Hexes, and can come in handy vs the German Aircraft, however it is vulnerable to small arms firepower and has no smoke capability,, exception vehicle smoking wreck.
The M8 Armored Car has a Cannister 7 Depletion Number and can possible take out a German Tank that gets careless with a Bounding Fire Shot. It also has a smoke pot usage number of 5.
Some tough choices indeed, just wanted to get your thoughts on this, BTW, I have never played this one. Wish me luck ?
