RE: Help me pick out a PZC title
The Salerno scenarios are very manageable, and fairly balanced IMHO. For the majority of the campaign, the Allies have four divisions (they receive two more divisions later in the game). I can't speak for the German player, but they appear to have several Kampfgruppes.
In my campaign, I made pretty good progress in the first two days. In doing so, though, I incurred a substantial amount of fatigue. A long stalemate followed where I could only make small pushes. YMMV, though, as I believe the general consensus is that the Germans have the advantage.
Salerno also features Anzio and Crete. I haven't played any of the Anzio scenarios yet, but they seem to have a similar dynamic to Salerno. I didn't think that Crete would lend itself to PBEM. It might be some fun against the AI, however.
I don't own MG '44 yet (although its probably my next title), so I can't tell you how it compares to Salerno. I believe the campaign map is smaller than Salerno and Anzio, though one of more experienced forum members would be more qualified to answer the question.
