Well. Without any real knowledge of the game I ordered the following:

Sturmtiger
Waffen-SS support group
Get Started with Bolt Action : Waffen-SS

This seemed a legit start to get things going.
Where can I find those hitler youths for example?
And which lists would you recommend me using?
(so I can look for the specific book or books I need)

Thanks again. 🙂

On it’s way are:
https://store.warlordgames.com/products/waffen-ss-support-group
and
https://store.warlordgames.com/products/get-started-with-bolt-action-waffen-ss
plus the Sturmtiger of course.
I have the Rattenkrief Stalingrad box too. How I got lured into BA…So add 6 models Grenadiere.

The panzerschrek is no good? Why is that? What do you use as AT? (PaK40? Marder? StuG? Pz IV?)
Thanks again.

Given what I have (the Box “Rattenkrieg Stalingrad” -> How I got addicted/lured into this)
plus what is on the way:
The “get started with Waffen-SS”, the “Waffen-SS Support group” bundles containing:
Waffen-SS Box Set
Waffen-SS Sniper, Flamethrower and Panzerschreck Teams (1943-45)
2 officers
1 Medic
2-man Forward Observer team
1 medium mortar team
1 MG42 MMG team
Armies of Germany Supplement
FREE A5 Bolt Action rulebook
Order Dice – Black
Pin Markers Frame

Plus the Sturmtiger of course.

Given all this; what would be a next logical step?
A panzerschrek is apparently not a very good choice. Why is that?
Do you need another form of AT? (PaK40? Marder? StuG? Something else?)

Is there something else that would add value to what I have?
(miniatures/boxes and/or books)

Thanks a bunch in advance.

Thanks for the ansers. Much appreciated.
A few more questions now though:

Regardless of the 19 or 28 pt-cost; one box of Soviet Yak1 Squadron is enough to get started, no?

Is the addition of an ace like Lydia Litvya something worth adding in a starting purchase?

[Elkerlyc]

Yak should cost 28?
I have no idea what it costs now.
Why do you feel it is costed incorrectly?
(and is it not unbalancing the game; are you suggesting another nation would be ‘better’?)

re; coming from X-wing. I do no think said game translates exceptionally well o BRS.
But I do think spatial awareness and tactics will help.
(I hope so anyway 😉 )
