The release of Eastern Front yielded changes to my 11.PD list.

My 11.PD force is now called a Mittlere "Medium" Panzerkompanie. The other Panzerkompanie lists in the Eastern Front book are a 1943 or Kursk armored formation, Czech tank company, Panther kompanie and two Schwere "Heavy" aka Tiger kompanies.

I gained 20 additional points, giving me the option of replacing the 2iC Panzer III L/M with a Panzer IV F-2. I'll lose two more Schurzen on tanks to get to 1,500 points. A force of 5 Panzer III L/M's and 4 Panzer IV F-2's is nothing to sneeze at.

I haven't played the complete force to know whether I want to make that change or perhaps I'll change the Pioneers. The Panzer III's are the core of the force and the 8-rads are too cool not to be included in the list. My reasons for fielding 11.PD is a picture of a Panzer III in winter whitewash. I just won't know until I see how all parts of this incarnation work in the heat of tabletop wargamming.
