Have you guys seen the back of the book for the AH Panzerblitz game. It
talks about the difference between potential and effective range of tank and
artillery weapons, and speed, weight, etc. stats for the majority of the
armored vehicles on the eastern front.

NS: I say reduce movement rate, to move emphasis avay from CC, 5 cm
for infantry

NS: I think that we could make use of the number of attacks to
represent elite units! SMG should have 1 attac IMO, Machingunners could fire
bort in the FF fase and the advance fase provided they don't move that turn.

NS: 7+ for common units sounds good!

NS: -6 is perhaps a bit hefty even for the 88, -3 for other
Anti-tank guns should be considered.
