Some Secrets of the Third Reich game pics

Played SoTR at a friend’s house, tried out an unconventional "Vampire" platoon made up of Frau Tear vampire character, making all regular troops become "Thralls". And added 3 Vampires in support.

They did not fare well, they fared exceptionally bad, since my opponent had lots of flamethrowers - pretty much the best way to rid yourself of bloodsuckers in this game. So my Uncanny Resilience troops morphed into "unarmored" vs flamethrowers, reducing their Down/Goner chances from 4/6 to 2/4...

And vampire in mist form are usually VERY hard to kill, as it takes medium high explosive + , but flamethrowers affect the mist as well. So almost my entire platoon was BBQ'd, except for one lucky vampire who killed a squad of Drop Troops by himself. But that was still not enough to cash in on the RP invested into that model. Vampire 8RP killed Drop Troops worth 7RP.

Anyway, I just wanted to try out multiple Vampires since we played 70RP which allows you to experiment with units and configurations you never use in regular builds.

Enough of my ranting, here are some pictures (Gretel was used as stand in for Frau Tear).

 My army was:

Frau Tear
Command + Panzerfaust
2x Grenadier squads w LMG teams
2x Panzerschreck teams
1x Sniper team
1x Light mortar team
1x Aufklärer squad
1x HMG team
3x Vampires


Opponent army was

5x Drop Trooper squads, w a mix of all weapons allowed, but everyone but 1 squad had flamers
2x Aufklärer squads
1x Light drop mech w flamer and MG
1x Medium Drop mech w dual flamers and MG


Pictures are taken with my new camera, which shows great potential but I'm still a complete noob with it, so I expect to learn all settings over the coming weeks.
