Ive only played four solo games so far, hopely getting to grips with the rules. Playing the games as a campaign page 71. I initially tried a battle at 1000pt v 1500pt battle but this took too long. Here are my revised lists after 5 battles
Fallschirmjager, Sicily Hasty Defence
CO CV9 120
HQ CV9 90
4 Fallschirmjager 280
4 Sniper ability 20
Panzerschreck 50
2 Support MG 100
81mm Mortars 75
2 unmarked Minefields 60
795
Ive been playing with plenty of cover on the table, the Fallschirmjager can use villages, rocky hills, walls so didn't take any trenches or gun pits. The minefields have been devastating when in the right position, in the Counter Attack I dropped the mines and added

There would be no Panzershrecks in Sicily, the first models were issued for trials in October 1943.
The standard infantry anti-tank weapon in July 1943 would still be the PzB39 anti-tank rifle, or it's conversion into the GrB39 firing HEAT rifle anti-tank grenades. Not sure if the latter is in the BKC lists?
Yes I see that now in the army list notes not available until 10/43+, AT rifle is listed :)
