How do you deal with French tanks

[Roman]

The French tanks had more armor, but they were too heavy and slow. What they had was against the tactics used. Tanks used only for support. Had few armored units.
With respect to sp option is to disable the Heavy Tank AI because if not come over a Char bis herd and become unstoppable. A combination of Pz III medium tanks, tank destroyers and infantry AT ammunition enough. In cases of defense can appeal to the 88.
Speaking of Rommel, he used them enough to destroy bunkers.

Roman heavy tank makes little diffrence AFAIK do alawys play with it off as AI seems to buy better that way. All it does in last few passes is make the AI favour buying armour over its other choices so you might get a few extra tanks instead of it using those points on something else. And I do mean a few will make little diffrence to total no of tanks but seems in my view to give a more piecemeal setup than tank heavy off.

AI tank heavy tries to buy a tank company more often - which means that the AI requires to have the points available to do so. It will sometimes then buy platoons of grunts, when it would normally buy companies of them. That does not really save that many points though. Therefore, it is really only noticeably different when points are rather high. It is not going to make any real difference on a thousand or so points battle. It may do on a 10000+ points AI buy.

In any case, the regular AI buy is rather "tank heavy" for most real WW2 situations..

Long time no start a long campaign with Germany. I'm playing more PBEM. But remember that once I tried it and if there was a difference.
I'll try again a long campaign. Perhaps with the experience I gained at this time do not be afraid to Char bis.
