INF are 3-2, ESC are 4-2. This changes the dynamics of the German attacks quite a bit as only 2 platoons are required to attain a 7col instead of a stack of 3 counters.
Given the need for Germans to attack in the Iron Line series, it can
a) Change a 16col attack to a 22col if trying to close in which is a powerful jump. AND
b) In defence, allow French-Moroccan units to drop down to a 2 stack instead of a 3 and therefore make themselves defensively far safer from bombardment and DF.
Like it or lump it, but the scenario won't then match up to earlier plays.
