The scenario was designed with M60A3 first, then dialled down to 1968 to make it more challenging. (Late model 90mm guns v 88L71). I also dialled it up to 84 or so and tried TTS/M1 and Bradleys..

M60s and Dragon armed mech inf ate the Tiger 2s for breakfast and the panthers were cardboard range cut-outs. The TTS version and especially the M1 Abrams with 105m hardly noticed their presence, even if dialled down to 2 sections of M1 and a platoon of M2 Bradleys - which were happily killing Panthers with side 25mm cannon shots while hiding behind their smoke dischargers... and the TOWS were having a blast.

One M1 (early 105mm model) platoon should have the entire zombie horde nailed and still have some ammo left, IMHO.

So the 68 era troops, which are not invulnerable to even the 75mm on Panther, and can be shot frontally by the 88. That and the inclusion of the 'Kitsap county' preservationists M47 as an example of early post-war US kit, which are even less invulnerable and have a basically WW2 era 90mm gun.

The later WW2 German kit loses out in lack of range finding and fire control, no stabiliser etc - but the slugs they fire are still quite potent to 1970-ish armour (unless Chieftains, later Centurions, T10). Leopard 1 and AMX-30 would be probably do fine so long as they managed not to get themselves hit. T54 should be good too, esp if later ones/T55 with a fair few HEAT rounds in the locker.
