[What phase of the battle is most vexing?]

Here here!

[HE Effectiveness]

Grenades are a bit undermodeled probably. They could suppress longer and over a wider range.

Maybe. Grenades aren't really that effective in the open, though they are loud.

Under fire, lobbing them into small trenches probably wouldn't be easy. Easy if your in a parking lot in shorts and a t-shirt throwing at an empty hole, but with webbing, a rifle, enemy fire, in the prone position, minor ground contours...I'll bet it was pretty rare to get a 'swish' on the first throw.

[There is no such thing as "Blitzkrieg"]

I've been watching this debate rage on. Kudos to Athlete for avoiding the trap of getting in a mudslinging match despite much provocation.

Second, both sides have made some interesting points, (if your willing to wade through the personal attacks), and I would say that it's too close to call so far.
