Actually I dont think that is right. I know for sure (well almost sure) that the 50+30 stugs are tougher than the straight 80mm stugs. I assume that means that 50+20 pziiis are tougher than 70mm.

As its gone 3am here that was my last test for the night but tomorrow I'll try to run some more extensive tests.

I just ran the same test a few times and it usually ends with a PzIIIL dead, and the rest reversed behind the ridge after popping smoke.
Most of the hits were partials, but now and again there's a full pen or a rico.
