This scenario is only useful for teaching the game to novice players. Obviously the novice must keep the Germans.
The 1: 1 ratio between Panzer IV and Sherman is completely skewed in favor of the Germans.

We played other scenarios where the ratio was 2: 3 and they were fun but still tipped in favor of the Germans.

VLOG attached.
