Late-War Kazachya Sotnya 1750

Here's the list I'm bringing with me to the NashCon tournament tomorrow morning. I discovered that it's 1750 (not 1850) and a few things are different about late war.

The soviets are rated Confident Trained (execpt for Kazachyas who are still Fearless Trained) and almost everything costs less. Anyways, here's the list:

Lemme know your thoughts!

looks good! and Good Luck!~

Well apparently the cossacks aren't nearly as potent as I thought they would be. Here's a quick synopsis of how it went down:

Round 1: Faced a German Panzergrendier army in a Hold the Line mission. I was defending and it was not a pretty sight. He had 4 tigers (this guy had already qualified for nationals) among other things but I almost had him beat if I could just hit something with my damn mortars. Ended up losing to him.

Round 2: Face a German Panzer Tank Company in a Breakthrough mission. I rolled like shit and was routed off the board by turn 3. He had 5 Panthers and also had already qualified for nationals. Horses on tanks = not good.

Round 3: Faced off against a Finnish army by a guy who was looking into the game and was borrowing someone's force. Managed to squeeze out a victory but more like a draw (claimed the objective in turn 6) but he had me on the ropes for a while. Dice rolling was ok on both sides.


Either way, with this in mind and noticing that the cossacks didn't really live up to their fullest potential I'm looking at a new army.

Get some armor. Get some Sturmovichs and a shit load of artillery. Dont give up on your boys.

Yah, bye late war your guys on horses are in trouble. But at least you stuck to your guns and gave it a good try. That tournament sounded like a blast!

oh, a 4 tigers has got to be nasty to go up against.

It was, it was very nasty. I've looked through the list and my options several times and unfortunately there isn't much more way to add more armor or artillery. Late-War really limits what support choices you can have as most everything I can take is 0-1.

Anyways, we'll see what happens. The cossacks gave a good fight at the least.
