As well in the early stages a good stock of grenades still makes infantry assaults against some armour likely to have a good result, if put in or found in that situation.
PBEM causes me to look more carefully at the infantry I choose. The differences in national troops alone, makes this paramount.
In common is LMG and MMG factor, and striving to make the force real enough that such a force could have fought or would have been desirable!! Timeframe is a big factor here as well as early war troops in some countries were not as good as they look formed up on the parade square before a battle!!!

It is somewhat fascinating Bob, that in your desire for LMG's, and your desire for SS, that these should conflict. The general early SS, doesn't have the best early LMG (mg34). I think the basic SS get mg42's when they come along, but some of them don't get mg34's in the early years. I think only the CO unit gets any mg34's. Most of the early year's SS get some inferior LMG.
