I prefer option 2 for a more balanced force.
Playing Flames of War (main focus) and its variants, Bolt Action, Test of Honor, SW Legion, SW Armada, and now....Cruel Seas

I recommend some recon, one unit would be enough. 3pts to fill out the 97pts option 2.

I also like option 2 and would recommend a recon unit. Probably Sd Kfz 250s.

Frankly, you should ditch the entire list… and sell those Hotchkiss to me 🤭. Happy hunting!
