FJ to me are an add on to the Blitzkrieg, rather than a force on their own.

Another vote for the BK flamers - early war is, as others have said, fascinating. Not just because it's the only time in WW2 when the Allies had the best tanks, but also because almost everyone's philosophy on how to use armour was (a) different from everybody else's, and (b) looked like it had been dreamt up by an anally retentive wargamer in his parents' basement.

That's not a very nice thing to say about Mr Hart Mr Fuller and Mr Guiderian.

That would be the Herman Goering chaps. I believe that Herman the German used cuirasses as undies, with plumes on the inside.

Always amuses me that Indonesian restaurants have a dish called Nasi Goring.

I have eaten mountains of Nazi Goering and there seems no limit to it.

That would be the French, who were still using horsed cavalry in their frontline forces, the DLC's, (Division Légère de Cavalerie) with a brigade of cavalry & a brigade of armour. That worked well ...

I’ve always wanted a crack at those German tanks with those Polish Cav. You can’t get anymore gloriously stupid. But I’d love to game it, as short as the game may be
