If you want A&AM to be more historical,
you have to play it more historically.

Although the American forces did have a great advantage in equipment, I am fairly certain they didn’t replace all of their basic troops (Garands, etc) with BARs and/or Paratroopers.  I’m also fairly certain that Wehrmacht Soldiers equipped with Mauser rifles saw action somewhere.  Watching regular AAM games you might doubt this.

Building the Force Lists
Now, I know I did mention playing more historically, but in some cases playability has to take precedence over that - not only can most players not field an SS Panther platoon, for example, but it simply costs far too many points unless you are playing a very large game. So for many units, vehicles especially, on these lists the more costly tanks will only come in sections or as single units. (If you’re interested in larger formations I have those available too; just not posted).

For these force lists I had decided on multiples of 25 for the cost of units to keep it fairly simple. Also originally when I was building platoons, many of the infantry units came to that amount or very close to it.

You will note that some of the points seem off when compared to their actual cost; this can be because of several reasons: If I find that certain units, like the PIAT, are overpriced I give them a discount. Conversely underpriced units like the Veteran Tiger or M4A1 Sherman have their cost increased.  If the total actual cost is within roughly 2 points (+/-) per 25 I’ll round them.

Certain powerful units are paired with sub par units and average units to keep them from being fielded in overwhelming numbers (eg if you want an Elite Pz IV D, you have to take 2x Pz III Fa and 1x Pz II C with it).
