German and Russian hardware below.


As I've mentioned the 17th Panzer is well below strength and he has only 22 tanks in 2 Bn's. (thats before any breakdowns during movement) The Russians have 180 tanks in 6 Bn's spread over the 3 Tank Brigades. 

However tank for tank the Pz 38 (Czech) is superior to the BT-5 and T-60. Interestingly the AC unit in the 3rd Motorised Div is no slouch and may be able to see off the BT-5?

The Germans will have to rely on artillery and the AT units in the Infantry Divs to kill Russian tanks. The 37mm 'door knocker' is superior to the 45mm unit and as good as the ....85mm? Mmmh still don't believe that this is an 85mm? same range and effectiveness as a 37mm? Ok I do see the high AA rating so who knows? The AA rating however is less than the 76mm dedicated AA unit though? Maybe its an early conversion or use of the 85mm AA gun? Picture doesn't look correct though? Looks like a 57mm or 76mm? 

The German Mixed AT unit is the anti tank unit for 3rd Motorised. Its not as effective as the Infantry anti tank units for some reason?

Eldar has sent the turn back. I'll show artillery and standard infantry when I get a chance later on.
