I know the Germans were short of things in 1944 but I doubt if they would stick anti tank guns in an artillery unit...........I think?

There's a few other VG Divisions also depicted this way.

The PzJg Ko 326 unit looks right and probably should be motorised.

My 2c

Interesting, I was not aware of that scenario.
Looking at the Herbstnebel scenario now, and there also the motorized PAK40 (PzJg) units are actually motorized when the picture has vehicles. So it looks like in that scenario this whole issue is fixed / non-existent.

I am still learning the game, so would be interested to play a smaller scenario (I do not yet feel ready to take on - and invest a lot of time in - a large scenario).

If that is OK for you (small/medium scenario against a new player), then I would love to play!

I think it was Tanker Mike who asked you for the game. I'll let him have first crack. <g> 

The Herbstnebel scenario is not for the faint hearted. A lot of units to move and fire. However it does have some nice benefits -

 - No ZOC makes it very flexible to play. You don't have to worry about being pinned by ZOC so can relax a bit about unit placement.
 - Artillery uses Alternative Indirect Fire which means you just fire once and cannot pick your target. 


These are not standard PzC settings for most games though so you have to be change how you play a bit when you play other scenarios/games.

By the way what scenario is the tactical mistake showing the two units with A/A symbols? I've checked a few but cannot see any that looks like this at start up?
