Hey, that was a cool movie, I saw it too. Trying to remember the name of it, its on my tongue but won't come out. I know what you mean by those tiger II's and wall of panthers. I felt the wrath of a Tiger 1, panther, and jagdpanther in my last game.
Quick War
I am going to try to balance the game by saying that no matter how close the combat values are, the allies get an extra Sherman or two, or a M-7 Priest. I will try this with my next game. I'll let you know how it worked, but I won't be playing until Tuesday.
