90. Leichte Afrika Division Schützen Kompany part 1: The List

Sometime ago i decided that i needed a Mid War army. And because my Late War army's are all allied i decided to go for a German army this time.
My choice: A Schützen Company from the 90. Leichte Afrika Division.
After some thinking i decided that the list must be close to historical at the time they arrived in Africa.
I came up with the following list:

90.Leichte Afrika Division Schützen Kompanie

Headquarter
-Company HQ with HMG Machine-guns

Combat platoons
-Afrika Schützen Platoon with anti-tank rifle and Mortar teams
-Afrika Schützen Platoon with anti-tank rifle and Mortar teams

Divisional Support platoons
-Assault gun Platoon 2 StuG D
-Pioneer Platoon with supply truck
-Anti tank gun Platoon 5cm PaK38 guns
-Light Panzerspäh patrol
-Motorized Artillery Battery 10.5cm leFH18 howitzers

After deciding what my list should look like the first problems arose.
1. My LGS couldn't get his hands on the 2 StuG D's
2. What blister to buy for my pioneer platoon. The pioneer blister listed in the BF online store has too few mini's but if i buy an other combat platoon i have enough mini's but no flamethrowers. So i probably will end up buying both blisters.

In different posts i will show, here on my blog, how my painting progress is going. As i have decided to make this a long term project, (i don't need the army right away because i can always use my paratroopers in a Mid War battle if i like) i don't know when each part will be posted and when this project will be finished. Part 2 will be posted very quick because i already painted the HQ.
Also i like to add that i am not such a good painter and my pictures aren't the best quality. It is more for fun and to show other people how the company comes together.

Thanks for reading
