Troop Strength values for assorted vehicles

Some other random stuff:

I did consider taking the costs of vehicles from Steel Panthers and tweaking them until they fell into the Mass Combat ranges. However, since I wanted to share this project with others, for copyright reasons I decided not to use those numbers.

I didn't do anything with aircraft. Because of the way aircraft interact with the MC system, it was hard to tell what a 'fighter' and 'bomber' were supposed to represent. Was a bomber a level bomber like the B-17 or a dive-bomber like the Ju 87? Was a fighter a straight fighter like the Me 109 or a fighter-bomber like the P-47? Probably, aircraft should be rated on a (roughly) 50-100 scale based on their effectiveness in ground support, but that can be argued against.
