The first scenario

For this game - at the moment I'm looking at 6 battalion groups, I'll baseit on the Tiger lists, US will have Armour Btn, with all 4 coys, 1with M5's, 2 with M4A3(76)(W), 1 with 75mm Shermans, An armoured InfBtn an M36 Company, and a Leg Inf Btn with M10 Company. Germans -Short Panther Btn, Short Pnz IV Btn,(Both 2 coy), Stug III Btn, allwith an Armoured Grenadier Company added, + Short Tiger 1 Coy, someJagd Panzer, and the HQ Company of Panzer Div Recce Rgt (thats theone with the A/Cars). It's set in July 1944, although the Sherman unit is a bit heavy for that period. At the moment I need 20 M3's tocover that, should be no problem, and can amend/add if other thingsturn up. For instance may add a Cavalry troop to the US. Could alsoadd some Brits.

Air support, the problem is a complete lack of German strike aircraft. May allow them the odd strike FW190, for display reasons,and to add to the fun. The US would appear to have had a cab rankover each spearhead, and given the situation these could have beenBritish, with P47 most common, and P38 or 51 possible. Not got theMustangs if someone wants to get 4 to cover that, can cover the rest.I am assuming it's too mobile for the heavy's but can feild 17 B17'sin 1/600th if we want to use em. Similarly the Mediums are off oninterdiction. It's a bit early for Me 262 and Arardo Jets, but againcan be pursauded, my 262's are 1/600th however.
