This is a thread where you can post your decks. It's fun to see what kind of decks other players are using, and it could also be useful to see what good players are using -- especially for inexperienced players. We can also discuss each others' decks of course. I will start with my Scottish decks. I have recently started to play 1v1 ranked, so I have one for 1v1 and one for team games.

Scots for 1v1s

Scots for teamgames

Your 1v1 Scots deck is very different from what I use. I get the use of Bren Groups but I would more use them as a map control thing and not realy for damage purpose. So the vet 1 Bren Groups I would replace for something like a Vickers or Assault Engineers or even more Rifle Leaders which are very good and the transports they come in are nothing to laugh at with vet 2. In the tank tab I would get rid of Shermans and the Cmd Churchill and rather take a card of Crocs which have more value imo plus you already got two dingo cards for command purpose.
In the anti tank tab I would get rid of the Piat cards and would take like I said earlier a second Rifle Leader for added close range anti tank defense. I think you should also replace one of the vet1 6pdr with the vet2 one and put it on your most crucial lane where you expect action. That extra star can make a difference.
In the AA tab I would suggest at least one card of Bofors for longer reaching anti air.
I get that you skip the 2-inch carrier but I wouldn't recommend Priests. I think going rather for the star 25-pdrs is the play here. The danger of getting yourself counterartied in 1v1 with these things (2400m) is pretty low already.
In the air tab I would make full use of the cheap Spitfires you get. You can get almost two Spitfires for the price of one Typhoon and they are not bad for strafing purposes as well. They replaced pretty much my need of 2-inch carrier if I want to get rid of an early AT-gun etc. and they help me snowballing the airpower.
These are just my takes for a deck I use to play a lot in ranked.
 
Some of my German 1v1 decks:

17th SS
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....089/11CC99AF484D1C491C593DF1B4D376177956D757/

Luftlande
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....476/372E4DC071534D4188502181473CFFB8E9320B75/

12th SS
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd....742/11008DA2AABC8BFAA4DD5275333B884457A63929/

I'm wondering if it's worth keeping the Firefly and phase B Tiger in the 12th SS deck. I find that you don't need that many tanks in 1v1, and the Jagdpanzer IV is available in B, has better frontal armor than the Tiger and comes at a cheaper cost. I noticed that I'm going to need some artillery, so I will swap one of the phase A mortars for a card of Wespes or Hummels.

Thanks for the feedback, Fussel! Yes, I mainly use the Bren group for map control, so that's a good point. As for the Typhoons, I like them because they are fast which allows them to get away from enemy fighters most of the time. The Spitfires may be cheaper, but they are painfully slow and easy to catch for German planes. And why do you think I should get rid of the Shermans? I find them more useful than Churchills most of the time, and they are pretty cheap too.

I am running a Churchill IV and VI lineup in my tank tab right now. Unlike Shermans they already come in B and I began to appreciate the buffed Churchill IV more and more. Against tank divisions they put in a lot of work with that 8 rpm 11 AP gun with decent armour for just 120 points. Especially in games that tend to be all over the place with a lot of action and both sides trading armor you can pump those out pretty fast. Churchill VI is more an allround backup tank since most of the softdamage do the support Churchill V and AVRE.

8RPM on Churchill 4? That's pretty good.

You don't find the whole slow as shit thing to be an issue with such a light tank?

I see you are fellow croc fan. Surprised how little you like humber transport.
