6mm and FoW army lists - Simon - 20-07-2011
For reference..
Using the FoW army lists I've been working to a points level of 5000 for 6mm, and between 1500 and 1800 for 15mm.
As the FoW rules were designed for 15mm, I just convert inches to centimetres when playing with 6mm.
The only slight problem would be the artillery template, which was designed for 15mm. But it's easy enough to scale it down.

Historically, you'd have either the welsh or irish guards with either of them being supported by elements of the household cavalry. Within the FoW army lists this equates to:
Elements of 5th Guards Tank Brigade
Irish Guards Armoured Sqn
and/or support from
2nd Household Cavalry Sqn
or
Elements of 6th Guards Tank Brigade
Welsh Guards Armoured Recce Sqn
and/or
Welsh Guards Rifle Coy
and/or support from
2nd Household Cavalry Sqn
You could mix Irish and Welsh guards as part of 32nd Guards Brigade but this was an infantry brigade.
Steve, if you want to sort out your guards, I'll start work on a Falschirmjagerkompanie (with plenty of SS support units).

RE: 6mm and FoW army lists - Simon - 11-12-2011
FoW is predominantly 15mm.

Yes, then u put them on bases. Number of figures to a base depends on the section type. Most common, is 3 for a command unit, 4 or 5 for the rifle/mg teams, and 2 for special units like Mortars or AT weapons.

I'm near completion on forces for a Rapid fire Operation Market garden scenario in 6mm. This first scenario is just XXX corps moving from Joes bridge to the village of Valkswaard. Looking for other players to see how this plays. British forces are Irish guards, Welsh guards, Household cavalry and 2 battalions of the 50th Northumbrian div. Germans have some Falshirmjager elements, and Luftwaffe ground elements. eventually i want to refight the entire campaign. Next fight would be for the bridge at Eindhoven, with the US 101st airborne, holding the bridge and approaches until XXX corps get there. When depends on how they did in the first game !! anyone interested?
