Why not just use To'Es. Battalion verse Battalion, Division verse division?

You mean something like a full-strenght T-34 battalion (21 tanks) versus a full-strenght Tiger battalion (45 tanks)?

And in the name of historical accuracy, let's give the Tigers slightly better crew quality.

I know where this is going…

Or perhaps a game pitting a German Panther regiment against a Soviet IS-2 heavy tank regiment would make for a more interesting game?

I'll need to dig up the TOEs for that match-up at some point…

There are some in the FoW books and on the website if you're interested (seriously).

My memory tells me that a full-strenght Panther regiment should be somewhere around 90-120 tanks, while an IS-2 regiment would be closer to 21.

I should say, TOE for companies and battalions are readily available from Battlefront, but those should allow building a bigger force with few problems.

Still, not every game played has historical TOE do draw from. Ed's idea was a clever one.
