this map pits the 7th armoured division against the german panzer lehr and tiger forces, yet the armor available to the brits does not in any way (except for the fireflies) represent this division. there are regular shermans on the map, yet the only standard shermans in the 7th armoured at the time of the battle were observer tanks (lacking guns) for the artillery. instead of regular shermans, the armoured platoons of the 7th armoured were equipped with cromwells (3 per platoon) and fireflies (one per platoon). however, in the map, there is only one cromwell
also, on the map, there is a stuart jalopy (you call it the recce stuart), but the recce stuarts in the 7th armoured at the battle had their turrets (thus they were standard stuart mk5s).
then we come to the really big issue, the fact that in the map, the british are attacking. in the battle, the germans attacked soon after the british lead regiment, the 4th county of london yeomanry (tank regiment) had moved into the village with their B and C tank squadrons, while A squadron was having tea just outside the village on point 213. the armour was supported by the motor brigade, and the town was occupied largely by the men of the queens rifle brigade. wittman struck the tail end of the A squadron column (where most of the motor infantry were) while the rest of his tigers moved on the head of the column outside the town. after completely decimating A squadron, the tigers moved into town with the support from the panzer lehr division. the british managed to repel the attack, destroying several tigers and panzer IVs, but were ultimately forced to withdraw from the town, and they did not return (at least until a few days/ weeks had passed).
im sorry for being picky, its just that the 7th Armoured is one of my favorite units from the war and i would like to see them done justice (just give me cromwells instead of shermans, keep the fireflies and achilles as is, as these were present at the battle) especially given the epic nature of the battle. i realize that it would be foolish to add 3 more tigers to this map, as the two already there are sufficient to give the british a nasty time. other than for that, its a great map and an excellent mod (except the bloody crashes, it did it 3 times in 30 minutes for me this morning and i was not happy).
