36:00 Thank you for this Video! I played today Your 1000p Tiger List with Alot of Strafbattalions and Rifles and Fauts. It was Fun. I lost to a Desperate and Successfull Rush onto one Of my Mission Markers by Italian Paracadutis /Fallschirmjägern with Stubornd, Veteran and Smgs. (Athough the Italian Played could not Shoot one Smg Shot, and Only had 1...and Last Mano a Mano Combat.)
It probably would have been worth noting that the BBQ build now has a hard counter. Fanatic msu/horde lists will beat it everytime, the flamethrower averages 3-4 kills, and hitting only half the time, so usually the engineers will not destroy whole units and so rely heavily on the flamethrower morale check which is now ignored due to the latest faq. So the counter punch now never hits hard enough to stop the flamethrowers being over run in the following turn.
Another thing that gunline types struggle with is a constant moving opponent as they have to constantly roll for that 6 if doing indirect fire. But if they have direct fire it can be devastating.
Horde armies are hard tack but can be well countered...I played a guy with 5x15 bamboo warriors and only managed to win by hiding and then pushing out 96 shots per round! Death stars can be built differntly: 3 commisars, a junior lt and LOTS of inex troops plus free rifle squadthen split them into 2 sections with a frontnik and the lt in one and the politruk and the normal commisar in the other🤫😅
For a BBQ list with multiple Engineer squads: How is that legal? My US Army book says “maximum 1 engineer squad” for the reinforced platoon. Ami missing something?
Agreed there are no deathstars in bolt action. Because deathstars freely move about the battlefield. 24 german veterans in total, assault rifles and panzerfausts. Divided into three squads. 8 men in each. That's a glass cannon. That loose blob of 3 veteran squads needs a ruin to take cover in. But if that glass cannon has a ruin it can take cover in, it is very similar to a deathstar that is permanently parked. After facing off against the loose blob of 3 veterans a couple times I came to the conclusion that they only way to reliably get rid of them is to include a forward artillery observer in the list.
