Title: Early war Fallschirmjäger list
Post by: Garder on 31 March 2014, 05:21:26 PM

Hello

I am looking for an early war Fallschirmjäger list for Chain of Command.

I read somewhere that there is a list on Two Fat Lardies Yahoo Group, but I can´t access Yahoo.

Can anyone help me with a copy of this list?

Any help is much appreciated.

Try the TFL forum for CoC

http://toofatlardies.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=228

Might be something there - but a lot of lists are still being worked up.

Hi Gander, I´ve checked the TFL Yahoo Group trying to find the list you are asking for and I didn´t get anything.

I´m afraid it´s not made yet, sorry.

Regards.

Hi

Rich Clarke put up some lists for a Luftlande Schutzen and Fallschirmjager platoons on 28th Feb, but they never got beyond the discussion group. Title of the thread was "CoC list for fallschirmjager?" From previous experience trying to search for threads I suspect not putting the ? After fallschirmjager is the problem. List was for 1940 only. Hope this helps.

Andy

My cut & paste of that discussion (limited as it was);

Luftland Division Schutzen Platoon

HEADQUARTERS
Feldwebel, senior Leader, MP40
Three man rifle Team
50mm mortar, two crew

TRUPP 1 TO 3
Hauptgefreiter or Obergefreiter, Junior Leader, with MP40
LMG TEAM Three crew with MG34

RIFLE TEAM ONE
Four riflemen

RIFLE TEAM TWO
Four riflemen

I would rate them as +1 for the platoon. They are regular troops in 1940 but with six command dice.

Support is very limited. PZB 38 or 39 AT rifle with three crew, MG34 on tripod with five crew, leIG18 with five crew, plus the usual Engineer options.

The Fallschirmjager Platoon had three squads with the same organisation but the platoon HQ was different. 

Leutnant, Senior Leader, MP40
Medic
four man Rifle Team with two MP40 and two rifles

The 50mm mortar becomes a support option.  This force is rated +1.

Thanks a lot. Just what I was loooking for :)

I am planning a operation Seelöwe "what-if" so the 1940 timeframe is perfect.

I never understand why people use Yahoo groups and not standard forums. I find Yahoo a right pain to navigate round.

I couldn't agree more, it's a pet peeve of mine  ;)

Not sure the FJ organisation is correct.

Fallschirm-Jäger Kompanie 1939 KtsN tables dont seem to tie in with that listed above.
