CMx2 Normandy?

[Westland]

The rarity for a Firefly is about 700pts in August,for the M10 is 0 if you're playing with the US,but as i said,you can play with rarity off if you want an armor only battle. Actually,if you play with rarity off the allies have the advantage as they can afford to field more Fireflies than Panthers the axis.

If we're to play that 4200 battle with rarity off you'll be able to purchase about 10 Panthers vs 17 Fireflies. Still betting on the Panthers? Even with rarity on,knowing you'll field just Panthers gives me the upper hand because i can purchase only big arty & planes. Hell,even with about 20 M10s vs your 10 Panthers i think i have more chances than you to win the battle. With forest & hills it's quite likely i'll be able to engage your armor at ranges where the 76mm gun can punch some holes in the panther's armor. With 4200 i can purchase 100 PIAT teams.With forests around you might find your panthers will have a hard time against those little buggers. A 17pds gun costs about 125 pts/330 rarity. With rarity on i can purchase 10 guns and still have 3000 pts to spend. Even if it won't be exactly easy to move it around,if my setup zone has a good overview of the battlefield you'll most likely be toast.

From my POV a panthers only force works when your opponent expects a combined arms fight and purchases accordingly. If i know you'll bring only panthers i can easily turn the table around to my advantage.

17 Firefly is not true.
For 4200 points you get:

4 x Achilles or
3 x Firefly IC or
6 x Firefly VC

I've played it so many times against Panther to find ways to win.There is no. 20 x M10 buy maybe.Must I test time.
17 pound AT gun is easily detected in the build.I buy battles in CMBN/FI of no AT guns more in ME.Too cumbersome,too slow.In CMBB/AK was better with AT Guns.
