My corps that I hope you enjoyThese are the units I will be using in battle. If you see any problems with them, just have questions, or would like t make a suggestion please post it here. Enjoy!  First Allies:
British Heavy Armored Infantry Corps or BHAIC:136 points
It is a stronger unit that can deal with tanks as it has 2 Cromwell IVs and 1 Churchill IV. but I plan on use it as a stronger anit-infantry unit. I do have Ram Kangaroo in which i put the Royal Engineer to move it towards the King Tiger. My father and I usually play and I'm usually allies.
Cromwell IV x2
Churchill IV x1
Archer x1
Ram Kangaroo x1
American Blitz Tank Corps:84 points w/reinforcements: 101 points
This is meant to be a fast unit capable of taking out tanks as well as infantry. I personally love the M4A1 Shermans as it's speed won me a game. With their ability to take out panzers and such they can take out tanks but they are much faster abd better armored. I guess it's more of an anti-panzer unit.
M4A1 Sherman x2
M24 Chafee x1
"Red Devil" Captain x1
Bazooka x1
Marines M2-2 Flamethrower x1
M1 Garand Rifle x1
Reinforcements: Chinese Assault Brigade
British Union Tank Coprs: 111 Points
This is mainly a tank/anti-tank unit. It has to smaller M3 Stuarts for fighting of infantry as well as a Lend Lease Half Track which carries a PPSh-41 infantryman. The tank killers are the T 34/76 and the ISU-122. It isn't the fastest but it is meant to kill tanks not do a blitzkrieg offensive.
T 34/76 x1
M3 Stuart x2
Lend Lease Half Track x1
ISU-122 x1
PPSh-41 x1
Chinese Assault Brigade: 13 Points
This is just a small infantry unit ment to take out other infantry or protect my anti tank and artillery units.
Kuomintang Officer x1
Kuomintang Rifleman x2
Cavalryman x1
1st Allied Artillery Corps: 113 points
This is a fairly numerous artillery unit that is wuite stationary but has lots of anti-tank and anti-infantry.
1st Anti-Infantry Brigade:20 points
Mortar M2 x2
Fanatical Sniper x1
1st Antitank Brigade:44 Points
3" Gun M5 x2
"Screaming Eagle" Paratroopers x1
"Screaming Eagle" Captain x1
There are 2 more anti-tank units but I think you get the idea. Now as for the axis I will be listing 3 corps, not the japanese corps. These are more well rounded units but not quite as mobile except for the italians.
Medium Italian Mobile Infantry Corps or MIMIC: 97 Points
This is more of a tank unit I guess but the tanks are week but with 2 anit-infantry vehicles I figured it would do better as a mobile infantry unit.
Semovente 75/18 x1
Veteran Carro Armato x1
Carro Armato x1
Sd Kfz 251 x1
Sd Kfz 222 x1
L6/40 x1
Blackshirts x1
Brixia M35 45 mm Mortar x1
Mauser Kar 98k x2
Antitank Grenadier x2
Panzer Corps: 127 Points
This is from what I know much like a panzer division in ww2. It has only panzer tanks and a good amount of infantry, it's a larger unit. I think of it as fairly well rounded.
Panzer 3 Ausf. F x2
Panzer 2 (f) "Flamingo" x1
Panzer 4 Ausf E. x2
SS-Haupsturmfuhrer x1
SS-Panzergrandier x2
Panzerfaust 30 x3
Panzergranadier x2
Artillery Corps: 214 points.
This is obviously an artillery corps. There are 2 anti-infantry units as well as one anti-tank unit and I belive that they are wuite capable of perfomring their duties.
1st Anti-Infantry Brigade:70 Points
Nebelwerfer 42 x1
MG 42 Machine Gun Team x1
SS-Panther Ausf. G x1
2nd Anti-Infantry Brigade: 35 Points.
Finnish MG Team x2
Finnish Officer x1
Type 92 Machine Gun Team x1
Light Mortar x1
1st Anti-Tank artillery Brigade: 109 Points
King Tiger x1
Pak 38 Anti-tank gun x1
Pak 40 anti-tank gun x1
47/32 Antitank gun x1
Sd Kfz 2 Motorcycle Half-Track x1
Those are all the units I'm mainly planning to use. Sorry if this was lengthy but thank you if you got this far. If you have any comments, questions, or anything in general please post it. Criticsm in the form of advice is also welcome. Hope you enjoyed this. Berger out.

Some odd point totals, usually you make it 100, 150 or 200 point armys...Or are these "Base" units that you add fillers to?

Yes and no. Sometimes we do 150 or 250 so they would work. But depending on the situation and what i am/am not using yes I do remove and fill different units. They are wierd and I had no point goals in mind while creating this, only to make purpose built units ment for different things. As you can tell I have no air units. Tomorrow these units will be edited as I'm planning on getting anywhere from 1-3 packs. I do not buy singles as I like to try my luck.
Also what do you think of the Italian unit (MIMIC)? It looks fairly versatile even with no heavy tanks it has about the right point value. I think although it isn't a "power" unit because it has a lot of units in it it could do well. That's the unit I'm most excited about oddly enough, even though I'm more of a power player. So if you could look at hat uni and give it a review/suggestion/advice that would be great.

Awesome, I like giving people ideas. But do you have a review/advice/suggestions on my Italian army (MIMIC)?
I looked at the Panzergrenadier unit and I flat out........LOVE IT!!! I love mobile infantry that are fast and also armored! and the armor can do good against infantry too!!!! Only if I had 10 Sd Kfz 251's. I'd create that unit in an instant. My favorite thing is mobile armored infantry that are FAST and can anhhilate other infantry. I will get those 10 vehivles, i need 9 for I already have one. As for the infantry I think I have all of them except the 2 SS-Haupsturmfuhrers. I only have on of those. I love that unit and must create it or a variant of it. GREAT JOB!!!!!!! I may also only use 9 Sd Kfz 251's and use 2 SS-Panzergrenadiers and 2 Panzergrenadiers. Make thar 8 Sd Kfz 251's and only 1 SS-Haupsturmfuhrer. That would be easier for me to make. Based on your point values the total comes to 99 points. I will definitly have to make that unit mith my modificatons.

You can even custom paint all the units and give it a name. Thats so fun. Have you seen my custom paints in the Moddeling 101 forum?

I've seen a few but I don't think I've seen yours. I will check it out right now.
Just looked at them and they are SWEEEET!!!!!!!!! That camouflage paint job is magnificent and it works so well the color scheme that you have. It all blends nicely to create an awesome paint job. How exactly do you do that king of painting? I'm not much of a modeler.

They all have names. The Emerald Battalion, Morast Platoon, Panzer IV Core. Custom paints with names.

I saw the morast platoon but I will look deeper. I'm interested in your work. How do you come up with the names?
|

It looks like something, I make it into german. Morast means Morass (morass basicly means bog) and the minis look like mud covered with vines.

I've looked at all of them and they are all awesome. The paint schemes all work well with one another. I like them very much, but Emerald Battalion is my favorite. The color scheme is just awesome! great job with those paint jobs!!!!

Thanks, the only thing is, during the Emerald Battillion painting, I only had those three paints. (Dark Green, yellow green and black) Now I have the Mud color also

Flat out great job. You should start a small business over this site to get a little extra money for all your hardwork. I'd definitly try to get you some of my stuff to paint, if my mom allows it, and if I had the money.

It really isnt that hard, I dont do all the coats and dry brushes and decals and such Panzerpainter and those people do.
