RE: Balance discussion/suggestions
I will leave the PzB/Kursk questions to David. Regarding PzC specifically, the scenarios across the series more generally, scenarios and the large number of designers have aimed for so many results that they can't be categorized. Some scenarios are aimed at HTH, others vs AI, generally within the same title. Some started out balanced but later changes have skewed them, while others got better. Some depend may be balanced when played blind the first time, but with knowledge of both sides is present are unbalanced.
And of course the various optional rules chosen will have a large impact on balance, yet many like to pick their own rules for the game.
Finally, player experience, even if at the same level, can throw the balance off, where an inexperienced pair of players may leave the battle with no chance of a win for one side, while experienced players could go either way.
