To recap, I have reviewed the PanzerTruppen booklet here, worked out a paint scheme here and reviewed my first box of Leopard IIs here.
I want to make sure I am collecting and painting to a plan. Boring, yes but I like working on a plan. 100 points seems like a lot of models to paint. So, I thought I would try to work up a 60 point list to start with.
Let the list noodling begin!!
I am looking for reasonable rounded lists that will allow me to try a few different things. I will start with single company lists. Lets try for 3 different companies. My only other criteria is that I include some Leopard 2s because they are cool and the only models I have assembled so far.
List 1 - Leopard 2 Company
HQ - 1 Leopard 2 - 11
3 Leopard 2 - 33
Short Marder Panzer Gren Platoon - 4
2 Luch - 1
2 Luch - 1
4 Gepards - 10
Total 60 points
I think this list has too many points tied up in leopards. I could drop the platoon down to 2 Leopards but then a single loss will see the platoon testing.
List 2 - Panzeraufklarungs Company
HQ - 1 Leopard 1
2 Luchs - 1
2 Luchs - 1
| 2 Luchs - 1 3 Leopard 1s - 9 3 Leopard 2s - 33 4 Gepards - 10 2 Fliegerfaust Gruppe -2 I think this list is better but it is not as well rounded as I would like. Also there is only 1 company that allows this many Luchs. List 3 - Marder Panzer Grenadier Company
HQ - 1ic in a Marder - 1
Full Marder Panzer Grenadier Platoon - 7
3 Leopard 2 - 33
3 M113 Panzermorser platoon - 3
2 Luchs - 1
3 Jaguar 2s - 5
4 Gepards - 10
Total - 60
I like this one. It feels like it can cover most bases. Several sources of good AT, some AA, a full infantry platoon, some recce and a template. I think this is where I will start.
I hope you enjoyed my noodling. If you have a better 60 point list, please share it. I would love to see some more ideas.

Thanks Paul, interesting thinking. The West Germans are a real challenge for list construction. My solution is just to go large!
