RE: Questions for Volcano Man

1. OK, thanks for explanation.

2. No, No, No - designer correctly modeled PzIII kurtz in original OOB with 8/1 hard attack and 14/2 soft attack - values like PzIV kurtz (8/1, 14/2), or PzIIIN in romanian division (8/1, 14/2) - this leads to conclusion they have equal guns and matches my sources for 6.Pz div. In reality PzIIIN had equal gun to Early PzIV (versions A-F). So PzIII(kz) stand for Panzer III with kurtz (short) 75mm gun, not for Panzer III with kurtz 50mm gun.

It is your OOB that models PzIV(kz) with (4/1, 20/2) and PzIII(kz) with 7/1, 9/2. Also you model PzIIIN (in romanian army) as (15/1, 20/2). And all these vehicles have equal guns!

I can provide references if you like...

3. & 4. I don't believe that 1/0 and 2/0 infantry hard attack values incorporate valuable AT guns at regimental level.
I checked for russians and they also one battery of 45mm guns and one battery of 76mm guns at regimental level.
