In the British Army, an armored or mechanised division could expect to have as many as twelve separate battlegroups at its disposal, with three or four in each brigade. Army) consisting of a single infantry company supported by a tank troop and various other support units. In support would be a reconnaissance troop, a low-level air defense detachment, an anti-tank section, engineering detachment, and artillery support.īattlegroups are often subdivided into company groups (called "teams" in the U.S. Typically, an offensive battlegroup may be structured around an armored regiment, with two squadrons of main battle tanks supported by an infantry company conversely, a more defensive battlegroup may be structured around an infantry battalion, with two companies and an armored squadron. The organization of a battlegroup is flexible and can be restructured quickly to cope with any situation changes. The battalion or regiment also provides the command and staff element of a battlegroup, which is complemented with an appropriate mix of armor, infantry, and support personnel and weaponry relevant to the task it is expected to perform. A battlegroup is formed around an infantry battalion or armoured regiment, which is usually commanded by a lieutenant colonel. term) in modern military theory is the basic building block of an army's fighting force. I run a similar list but drop a couple of tanks for 4 veteran squads in Chimeras with tons of plasma or melta and forward sentries and I can block of my tanks for turns upon turns which lets my enginseer actually get a chance to do something.For Pentomic Division subunit, see Battle Group (Pentomic).Ī battlegroup (British/Commonwealth term) or task force (U.S. Remember that your tanks only have high front/side armour and without infantry your not going to be holding those objectives for long. I had one squad of Khorn Daemonkin Terminators take out 2 LRs and a Chimera in a single round. If someone gets some tankbusting melee into this you're gonna have a bad time. Vanquishers and Lascannons I like but unless you face a lot of high 14 armour then the Exterminators usually do a better job. They are much better with melta or plasma sponsons (depending on how close things tend to get). Same goes with the Exterminators with tri HBs. So you have Pask with a punisher he is an infantry killer (he can take light armour too but it's not his best use) so the melta is a bad option as you will either waste the punisher or waste the melta depending on target selection. Other then that my biggest fear is vs tau because that player will probably just win, due to bringing any of the current tau cheese that he has.Īs a big tank fan I have found that you need to laser focus each tank squadron to a single task. I know a nids player will be bringing 2-3 Flying Hive Tyrants, but I think that my exterminators and pask have enough shots to take them out of the sky pretty easily. I was tempted to take just the Battle group command and then bring a steel host, but my group said they wouldn't allow that. With 9 leman russes I should be durable enough to withstand incoming shots while being able to dish out my own in return. Tactics: Pretty simple, I am going for the table in most games.
