If that is the case, then the german player will typically keep his armour back and be punching out your infantry as well. Then it becomes attritional, and as the Allies can mount a copious barrage of AFV HE, I'd take the allies.

Also realize that the Americans and British often have a great deal of smoke and this can be utilized very effectively by direct fire to nullify any advantages of the German armour as well. You can protect your infantry by smoking out the lines of attack of the Germans, protecting your AFV's as well. Then pound the hell out of the kraut infantry.

Thus having access to a lot of smoke in your kit choices, and having greater numbers of HE chuckers can have a huge impact on the rock paper scissors issues. Nevertheless, tactical theory based on this level can always succumb to rock, paper, scissor issues.

At the end of the day it boils down to the competence of the armchair commanders manuevering their forces. These tips are only there to enlighten those of the big picture.
