I had an email the other day from a gentleman in Ohio who has just bought I Ain't Been Shot Mum, having been playing another particularly popular WWII Miniatures Game for some time.
He chose IABSM as he was looking for a set of rules which didn't treat Germans as uber-troopers, and consequently was seeking a system with a bit more balance.
He raised a really interesting question, and I hope he won't mind if I answer it here so that a wider audience can benefit .
