That would be my structure, equal amount of battles, chances for experience, different tactics, etc. Note: I will be remaking the Blood on the Mountain scenario for veteran players... maybe retitle it Blood on the Bloody Slopes of Blood Mountain II: Blood Bath Boogaloo...

Any suggestions? Again, I'm using 2 Copies of the Base game and shall restrict myself to 1 copy apiece for both DotF and Normandy. .. unless I pick up another copy of Normandy...

Also: I'm creating the Ranger Canon Company--which consisted of 4 M3A1 Half-Tracks outfitted with salvaged 75mm Italian guns from Sicily. It would be available as a reinforcement element to the rangers beginning with these stats:

Canon Company
4 M3A1 Half-Track 75mm AT Guns
versus Infantry Range: 5 Firepower: 4
versus Vehicles Range: 6 Firepower: 8
Movement: 7 Armor: 1
May not use Transport ability
Concussive Firepower

Too powerful? Glad to hear ANY input...

Note: I may use the Panzer Lehr Division for a Normandy campaign at some point, hence it's inclusion at the last battle of Cisterna...

First of all, I like the idea of following two "hero" companies through the campaign and having them meet in some scenarios.

In the Designer Series book, page 81, Vance von Borries uses US half-tracks with 75mm guns, giving them a firepower of 6 versus vehicles. The rest of the stats are identical to yours. His scenario is set in North Africa, though, so I do not know if the guns he had in mind are the same as on your half-tracks, even though they have the same caliber.

In Flames of War, the M3 75mm GMC half-track has only marginally less firepower versus vehicles (firepower 9) than the M4A1 Sherman (firepower 10) and the same values for range and rate of fire.
