Artillery problems in Bulge '44

[2-81 Armor]

Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way, and trying for a too simplistic answer, but wouldn't be easier to adjust the stockpiled factors in the pdt if we're trying to depict the opening German barrage?

When it comes to counter battery values I agree that the US should definitely be superior, and we could avoid using this value to depict the opening barrages if the stockpiled setting is right.

Some mention has also been made of unit ratings, and I do agree that some like the US 106th Div are rated too high. Nothing against the 106th, but really, they were in the Ardennes in order to get a low intensity introduction to combat.

By the same token, some German units like 1 SS Panzer are probably rated too high given how many replacements they needed and the limited training time available after Normandy.

Just my 2 cents for whatever it's worth
