Going over the daily content articles for Dragon's Teeth, I observe:
  1. The Germans don't seem to have any SS in the counter mix.
  2. The Shermans in the DC articles have an armor of 3, thus not the current standard.
  3. The counter examples have the old 4 digit IDs, like the old 3rd edition games.
  4. The seems to be a Wirbelwind in mix, a piece which hasn't been used since BotB.
  5. The map example is from the Elsenborn Ridge winter maps.
  6. Many scenario names are identical or very similar to IoG scenario names.
Thus I also think it is a kit-bash. That isn't necessarily bad. IoG has be out of print for quite some time, thus a reboot for newer players would be a good thing.

The game will need more than BotB pieces.
  • The game will require strongpoints, if the IoG scenarios transfer over. Those will probably come from Airborne/Airborne:IE.
  • The Americans had good air support. Aircraft pieces could come from Elsenborn or Cassino.
I'm not ready to pony up the $65+shipping to get the game, but I think it is a reasonable consideration for newer players.
