Default Re: Realism vs \"Winning\"

I must admit that when I played the old SP (Dos version) long campaign as Germans I had more Tigers by 1945 than Adolf probably did - it was getting too easy as only arty and airpower caused a problem. So this time round I'm trying hard to keep it more "real" - less tank heavy - but like you say, when you got a few 1000 points in the bank it's just soooo tempting to buy that Tiger II platoon... It definitely makes for a more challenging game to go lighter on armour (especially as germans cos their tanks are so hot) and more infantry instead. So last campaign I had maximum of 13 tank, (mostly Stug/JgdPzr) - only buying extra armour support on "advance" flavour missions. Swapped around the types a bit for variety. You only really start "needing(?)" a few panther/tiger when JSII shows up. Anyhow, I read personal accounts of German inf who never saw a Tiger... especially later in the war, Germans were so short of armour it seems too unreal to have a "superforce".
