Sobre el papel esta compañía, con 8 pelotones de armas combinadas, es un rival formidable, pero si la revisamos cuidadosamente veremos que ese número se ha alcanzado a base de adelgazar pelotones clave. Las unidades de 3 StuG no soportan bien las bajas, y la infantería a pie difícilmente va a poder seguir el ritmo de los carros.

In theory, this Company, with 8 combined weapons platoons, is a formidable opponent, but if we look it twice we will realize that that number was reached by thinning key units. 3-StuG Platoons absorb casualties poorly, and the infantry on foot will hardly be able to follow tanks' pace.

Esta otra lista es más novedosa. 10 pelotones para una Compañía atacante es un poco demasiado. La decisión de meter el Breaching Group para ganar el Always Attack se diluye al tener que empezar con los 2 pelotones obligatoriamente (excepto en misiones con Mobile Reserves). Los roles secundarios repetidos (recce) drenan puntos que podrían haber sido mejor invertidos en mejorar los principales.

This other list is fresher. 10 squads for an attacking company is... a bit too much. Fielding the Breaching Group to win "Always Attack" could be counterproductive because you MUST begin the game with those 2 weak squads on the table (except in missions with Mobile Reserves). Repeated secondary roles (recce) drain points that could have been better spent on improving the main ones.
