200 point U.S. ArmyI came up with this army last night:
6 x M4A1 Sherman - 126
1 x M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Sherman - 34
1 x Thompson Gunner - 4
1 x Fuel Depot - 6
2 x M3 Stuart - 30
The Thompson Gunner rides on the Easy Eight while the tanks zip around like crazy with either speed 5 or speed 6. 
No air support/flak, but I figured that that wouldn't be a problem with the Tommy Gunner, the 6 Shermans, etc.--let's see:
-1 Penalty on all attack die
9/9/7
9/9/7
9/9/7
9/9/7
9/9/7
9/9/7
8/8/6
8/8/6
10/8/-
7/7/6
No, I do not think that not having flak will be a problem. 
Feedback appreciated.

Hm, very powerful and I'd love to play this build. One build I wana try is flat out ten M4A1 Shermans. That would wreck.

Boring, effective but boring.

Yes, I know it'd be boring, but yes it would be very effective. My army of Shermans right now consists of:
Veteran M4 Sherman Rhino x2
M4A1 Sherman x2
M4A3E8 x1
M4A3 105 x1
M24 Chaffee x1
P-51 Mustang x1
I believe it will be very effective in the coming weekend.

That should really do some damage--but watch out in case your opponent has a heavy infantry army like one I went up against once. Something like 15 SE Paras, 2 SE Cpts, an Easy-Eight, a Lightning, and a Typhoon--something like that. You shouldn't have any trouble with armor, but watch out for an American or Russian infantry swarm.
@Cpt. Miller--yeah, I know it's boring. I probably would only use this army when I really needed to win in some tourny or something--as a general rule I try to avoid cheesy or boring armies most of the time and go with something interesting and cool that gets its butt kicked more often than not.

Hm, that army list I gave you is not accurate as of today, the Chaffee and Mustang were replaced by a M36GMC, however I can use it either way, though it was designed as a tank army.
