This last weekend was I at Vinterslaget in Halmstad a smaller Flames of War, Early War tournament. This is probably my last tournaments for a long time because of the house building plans.

Early war period is not a major period in the game area so it was fun to play some other period and have allot of tiny tanks. I fielded a similar list as last year when I won this tournament, this time did it not go that good. But there where no surprise in that because last year was EW new for every one. My list was a Czech Panzerkompanie from Blitzkrieg:
| Platoon | Qty | Unit | Points | ||
| Headquarters | |||||
| 2 1 | Panzer 38(t) B Sd Kfz 9 | 180 | ||
| Combat Platoons | |||||
| 5 | Panzer II C (early) | 225 | ||
| 4 | Panzer 38(t) B | 350 | ||
| Weapons Platoons | |||||
| 3 | Panzer IV D | 450 | ||
| Divisional Support | |||||
| 2 | Sd Kfz 231 (8-rad) | 95 | ||
| 1 1 1 1 2 | Cmd SMG team Staff team Observer Rifle team Motorcycle & Sidecar 10.5cm leFH18 howitzer | 190 | ||
| Company Points: | 1490 | ||||
I knew that I would have problem with the allies heavy tanks that have armour of 5+. And during the tournament was this show several times that the My list needs some thing that can take out heavy tanks. I thought of "Leichte Pionier Platoon" which would cause problems for Matildor. But these units have problem to attack French medium armour. The other option would be air support. For V2 the air support is not good enough for it points but in V3 will they be more dominant. So next time I think I will include Stukas for support or maybe field a "Leichte Pionier Company" with some AT support.
So in the end did I place my self in the midell and got 17points in 5 battles, an average of 3,4points/game. The winner was Andreas with 27points and his "Matildor of DOOM" I could not do anything against his 5 Matildor.
But this tournament was one of the friendliest and very well organised. So thank you Daniel for Vinterslaget 2012. I hope that I can join next year.
