It's a Long Way to Tipperary Tournament - Round 3 - S43 DIME Beach

[Steel God]

Steel God: Panzergrenadier Soft Attack stats are (considerably) higher than US Soft Attack stats in every PzC game using the (now standard) alt OOB, as far as I know. US SA values are actually 1 point higher compared to Philippines '44 (8 compared to 7) and 1st ID is B quality. PzG Soft Attack values for motorized units are also 1 point higher, but the PzG units are B instead of A quality. What makes PzG volleys hurt is the size of the units combined with the high stats, not the stats per se.

What surprised me in terms of Soft and Hard attack values were the values for the Italian light and medium tanks. They're good vehicles in this scenario as opposed to tracked peashooters. The same applies to the Stuarts (14 instead of 4 Soft Attack value).

While I know that to be true, it doesn't feel any better on the pinata end of those 4:1 fire ratios - my comments in the heat of the moment are more a reflection of my feelings than any factual reporting.  As should be evident, the AAR I put together was not done as any sort of critical analysis and is merely a peak into my stream of consciousness as I was dueling it out with Brian.  

That said, I do have a lot of issues with the OOB used for the Scenario and don't believe it has aged well.  The AA values on the ships making them essentially sitting ducks to any air attacks is one, the horribly low assault values of Italian engineers, and an over valued HG division generally (having never been in combat before I think a C would be more than generous) the lack of ranged fire for armored units;  - I'll just leave it there.
