My fault the SHVYs are underpriced
To make amends, let's play CC.
You get 13 SHVYs and 30 squads of regular infantry. I get just one Mk V and 15 Heavy Weapons squads. There, I'm letting you take the superior units and spotting you an AU on top of it. Any takers?

If you ever drop by DFW, sure.

Would you offer 52 LTs instead? |

Since the PE forces could logically have a strong German presence and influence, I've always wondered at the lack of a tank killing Jagdpanzer IV or Hetzer style unit. |

Re: My fault the SHVYs are underpriced
So we need to drop the D5 SHVY to 9VPs??
Is that what I'm hearing? That can't be what I'm hearing. Steve! Henry's hurting my brain again, make him stop! :) |

It's limited defenses and awkwardness of mounting a Superheavy style gun as fixed mounting on a Lt Tank chassis causes it to self-disrupt at the start of every overrun, if not disrupted beforehand. Cost: 3 VPs.

The other two are: Version One A3/2 D2 M4 Version Two A4/3 D1 M3 Your specs A3/3 D2 M2 Seeing as the tank destroyer was about the most effective design in WW2, it seems that having one in Ogre could be valid; but yours seems a little too slow for the system based on historical background. I see a standard HVY hull with a casemate gun, ala' the Jagdpanther .... I'm thinking just for variety: A3/2 D2 M3 Let the PE forces use it has a defensive tank killer, and the NAC can use the same spec as a Medium Tank (for balance).

Not sure it was. Do you have any documented evidence that is the case? I ask, because I always understood that the reason for making tank destroyers, like the Jagdpanther, was down to larger gun and low profile from not needing a turret, which was a cost versus benefit payoff. Since WW2 there have been remarkably few Jagdpanther like tank destroyer designs.
