its a bit short on infantry, you might get mobbed to death. The two tanks are perhaps overkill for your purposes... you did say you were fighting italians?
you might find yourself running out of units when you need em most... 1 DD ought to do the job, backed up with more inf ( incl perhaps a Piat to give your inf a further anti armor fallback?)

^that's the kind of feedback i wanted. i was unsure about whether or not i should get rid of 1 DD or the typhoon so i could get more infantry or an ammo dump (having the aircraft nullifies any fears of him having an ammo dump for more than a turn).
Here's a couple of alterations:
1x Sherman DD
1x M3 Stuart
1x Hawker Typhoon
1x Entrenched Antitank Gun
1x Intrepid Hero
1x Eagle-Eyed NCO
5x Canadian Infantrymen
1x Vickers Machine-Gun Team
or
1x Sherman DD
1x Entrenched Antitank Gun
1x Intrepid Hero
1x Eagle-Eyed NCO
6x Canadian Infantrymen
1x Ammo Dump
2x Barbed Wire
1x Vickers Machine-Gun Team
1x PIAT Gunner
1x M3 Stuart

Im not a great fan of air in small games... one lucky shot from a good machine gun and you have problems, on the flip side its unlikely that your opponent will take a fighter but for all that Im still more in favor of your option 2.

I'd suggest, the build from the first post and modify it by removing the ATG and the Vickers and replace them with five more Canadian Infantrymen.
Use the Typhoon to kill any tankhunters and let the shermans support the advancing infantry.

I like this list. Well balanced. Maybe use a Bofors instead of the Entrenched AT gun (+ an infantryman) though. You have enough Anti Tank already and a Bofors is never a waste of points.

Depends of the italian player, can he put in battle german units like you the uks. 100 or 110 points if is a mixed army of italian-german?, is different if the italian can put flak antiair (20mm or 88mm), or including 7/1 vehicle.
If he put 3 Semo75 x42 points and the rest Breda37, you would thinking in next game. Or pray something?
It´s important the 2 maps you will use, it´s not the same starter maps, expanded or desert map.
I like the game, can you tell me which units can you play with your "Canadian army"? canadians, uk, usa or..
100 or 110?
historic limit? |

I use that team sometimes, 4 Semov plus 6 Breda 37, the rest some Fuccile, for 110 points.
12 shots for the typhoon, be careful¡¡¡ |

I agree. A well-played Bofors will pay itself off three times over in long-range infantry kills and shot down aircraft.
With that modification, this build looks good to go. |
