  1. Hawk you have a good point. But german training was just superior at that time combined with their tactics and leadership. These troops are also battlehardened from Poland and some "volunteers" from the Spanish civil war. Basically, the allies were outfought during the first part of the war. In that line of thinking, Italian troops were almost useless and should have a negative rating (the game of course does not allow for it). When Germany had to go into Italy in 1943, they have dicovered hoard of numerous supplies that they have sent to Mussolini. One German general remarked, to the effect, if we only had italy as an enemy instead of an ally, they would have won the war!

  2. Traditionally, the german army during the early stages of ww2, was superior to the allied forces and this should have been reflected in giving them a +1 in anti-tank. (Veteran german units in the later part, especially ss units, were tough nuts to crackzen!) I know the two leaders being present is supposed to account for that to reflect their combined arms superiority. I still think it is a shortcoming (well, I guess with the editor this is moot).

    I know that the game is nearing completion, but right along this point, I think there should have been representation of airborne and SS troops (Germany fielded 500,000 SS combat troops).

    I also think it is a misrepresentation that strategic bombers can bomb units (as RAF's sole bomber unit can do).

    Actually, french armor was better than the germans during the start of ww2 but they did not organize into effective battlegroups and when they did later, they simply got tore up by the luftwaffe. I think this latter part is reflected correctly in the french's stats in SC.
