some thoughts and points

You can always use the scenario editor instead of purchasing units in a quick battle, it's a little more work to start a game but it solves the rarity issue. As long as you and your opponent can agree on parameters.

5x Shermans = 1100 pts

For the same amount you can (roughly) buy:
a) 3 Panthers
b) 4 Stugs

I don't think there are many players out there who would choose b over a, and i guess this says it all.

Very nice, and my point exactly. BBrus and I are using the house rules but adding in the same restriction for cats to 76mm tanks.

solves the rarity issue.

You can actually set the rarity to none and it removes the rarity budget from consideration.

That is so right. Probably the best phrased statement showing how wonky this is. In fact I suggest you start a thread on the BFC forum on this topic. Or if you don't have time for that I will - just say the word :)

I see that your post received lots attention from BFC - not. OK waste of time - I'll get back to playing instead.

Still it is a bummer and very odd that a less capable vehicle costs less than a more capable one.
