I lost many PGs this game, I agree. And hetzer. I don't think PE is crap to play against. If he would concentrate his attack better with ATH + pershing + rirfles with stickies and surround me I think he would beat me. Also he didn't lay enough (any?) mines.
but I agree that my micro wasn't en pair this game and I lost 2 PGs on retreat (bad luck?)
lots of death, lots of vetted infantry but in the end, PE's tanks reign supreme!
