I do not believe that it is a matter of tactics. But, that is not a statistical issue. I did react to Steve's taking his force around the flank and found the German forces quite unable to stop the overwhelming Allied armored force supported by mobile SP's and infantry.
I think the scenario might have been more designed for balance if the Allies were forced to go into the heart of the German defense.

I'd be able to know & see more if Panzerjaeger, Kai, Sir Killalot, Laza, Deutscher Landser, & Tiger 88 would make their comments.

Winning a major victory as Allies, against an equal or superior opponent, and then saying it is well balanced may be stretching it a bit. But, that is my personal opinion.
For balance sake, hypothetically, could Cam play the Germans versus Deutscher Landser and win as the Germans? I think not. But, hypothetically, if he did win as Germans, I would say it would then be more balanced than I first thought it is, at this moment.

Note; ELO scores are from the 2011 ladder, all other stats are from "since the beginning" in the players profile (ELO scores are not included in a members profile). I posted this before completing all the research (thus, some of the ELO's are not included above). And, for clarity sake, I am not a fan of ELO as a measurement, but others are so I included them.

PS. Please don't read this as an attack against any one member. I am trying to have a "gentlemanly" discussion on a topic using stats and not feelings. Remember the Allies win this more than they lose it, and much more so when the statistically superior opponent is the Allies?
