RE: Early war engineers
Seems to me that Engineers should maybe get some kind of boost on their assault factor versus hard targets like tanks and pillboxes (although I realize there isn't really a "hard attack assault factor"), but a generally reduced hard attack factor at range (at least more in line with national infantry of a similar time).
Regarding panzerfausts, if panzershreks and bazookas are sketchy to include in a 1 hex hard attack factor, these would be doubly so. Their practical ranges are only 30, 60 or 100 meters depending on the model with the 100-yarders only coming out in late 1944 (technically there was a Pzfst150 but that came out in March 1945 in really small numbers). This seems definitely like an assault level weapon only.
