Not being schooled in the military of WWII, this may be a dumb question. Forgive me if it is. I’m working on of small project of re-imaging the Combat Boots counters for the three games published so far. I just noticed that the stats for the Panzer IV from the “Bulge” counters is different from the stats for the PzKpfw IV of Battleaxe. Aren’t they the same vehicle ? Or is it my uninformed mistake ? Just askin’.

Hey, JPM, I don't have the games in front of me to compare the counters directly, but the Mark IV continued to evolve throughout the war. The early model depicted in Battleaxe (probably the D version) had a short barrel 75 gun, while the model depicted in the Bulge (probably the J version) had a much superior, long barrel 75mm, and had superior armor as well. The differences were stark enough that while the same chassis, they were essentially different tanks. The wiki article on the tank is pretty good: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_IV
