Avalon Hill has made an important change to the Axis & Allies Miniatures game. The SS-Panzergrenadier and the U.S. Ranger will now cost 7. This change will be effective on June 1, 2007. This should help balance the game and allow for more of the other infantry units to be used in the game.

I'm hoping that the upcoming reprint of the game will include these units with their new costs.
