Denis - well, I am not very familiar with the CM2 purchase screen, so I was checking out what the Russians might have for light vehicles to fill the role in Recon rules and it appears they only have one armored car option, BA-64, whereas the Germans have a boatload of options, between AC and HT. Maybe I am missing something in Russian OOB screen?
Not particularly flexible for the Russians. I don't even see half-tracks? I am sure the Recon rules would go nicely with Americans vs Germans, though.
With this in mind, how about a mixed QB meeting engagement with "house rules" on armor? No more than 33% of total points spent on tanks? Heavies, super-heavies can sit this one out, too.
Please let me know your thoughts.
