Chendo ha modificado su compañía mecanizada de la Panzer Lehr para adaptarla a la 4a Edición. Se trata de una fuerza compacta y muy móvil, con bastantes recursos a su alcance para atacar o defender con garantías, aunque el diseño haga pensar más en lo primero. Tal como está planteada echo en falta una unidad Recon para tomar ventaja del despliegue inicial. Los pelotones de Panzergrenadier son duros y tienen todo el AT posible, pero da la impresión (como en todas las listas mecanizadas) de que falta masa de maniobra, y los Sd. Kfz. 251/9 son un apoyo excelente, pero no sustituyen a un segundo pelotón de carros.

Chendo has evolved his classic Panzer Lehr mechanized list into the 4th Edition environment. It is a compact and very mobile force, with enough resources at its disposal to attack or defend with guarantees, although its design favors the former. Indeed I miss some Recce unit to take advantage of the initial deployment. Lehr Panzergrenadier platoons (9 stands strong) are tough and have all the AT they can get, but overall the list seems (as with all mechanized lists) to lack mass of maneuver somewhat, and Sd. Kfz. 251/9 are excellent support unit, but they can't make up for a second tank platoon.
