Original OOB or McNamara OOB - Which is best?

[Volcano Man]

No problem Dave. I understand what you mean and I have taken care to make sure that armor is not unstoppable. I have played B44 with the new OOB quite a bit and I think you will find that armor has a hard time assauting through urban areas and forests, especially when they are not stacked with infantry (because, overall, armor has a lower assault factor than it had before).

Once the Germans begin stretching their supply lines out through the Ardennes then their armor will begin running low on fuel and be vulnerable to almost everything. Also, many will tell you that armored formations left alone run a risk of infantry assaults decimating them if the armor is alone in a forest or city hex as well which make infantry more important to split up and pair up with them. So, while it is true that armor does have an advantage over stock in that they are less suseptable to indirect fire, they do have other weaknesses that are not true with the stock OOB in that in the stock OOB armor and assault guns are usually assault juggernauts that need little infantry support and can hold ground unsupported.
