I've got 3 Shermans on my shelf, 1 on my workbench, and about 5 in various states of disrepair in my scrap box. I'm not quite ready to give up on 'em yet. Ask me again in 10 years.

Don't know how exact my count is but it looks to be German 18, Sherman 10. I think that's a pretty good showing against all that "variety" of German armor.

Just remember, ignorance is no excuse for the law. - Moe

zimmerit, three-color camo., Panther, Tiger, Mark IV, Carius, Rommel, Blitzkrieg...........................My vote is for German
unless the Sherman is being driven by Ditka, or even a mini-Ditka

I've got to go with German. You've placed a boat load of variety in the German armor against a one type of Allied armor. As an example, all Sherman suspensions fall within two major varieties and 3 or 4 subvarieties. Just about every German type had significantly different suspensions from any other type. I like the variety.
