For the first 5 I'd say Stuarts, Tetrarchs and maybe Crusaders (then +1 or more German tanks), Char Legers and Somuas, T-26s and T-60s. The bulky Russian T-28s and T-35s can also be used, since they go down quickly and need more time to reload, because they got a 76,2mm gun. Though you might want to give the Germans 2-3 tanks for one.viriato hat geschrieben:i see many people using the big cats in games .what about smaller units?

PZIII L 50mm
Stug III B 75mm
Stug III G 75mm
Pz jg marder 76mm.
i would be much obliged for the help
For the PzIII L you have to keep in mind that most of the aforementioned tanks, except the Crusaders and T-28s/T-35s, cannot penetrate the front, making it almost invulnerable if used properly. I think anything above 45mm can penetrate the front, so it would be wise to give Chaffees and Crusaders, depending on the year and the setting.
The PzIII L can also be used as a "Su-76 hunter".
Otherwise you'll have to place a couple more of the smaller tanks so they got a chance to surround them, if you don't have any Crusaders or heavier tanks.
The StuG III B is rather vulnerable against almost everything, so you gotta be careful when placing it against large amounts of very mobile tanks, even though they might have a small armament. Other than that, you might want to place a StuG III B vs. a Char Lourd B-1 bis in combination with another StuG III B or maybe 2 PzIV D. The Char Lourd B-1 is really hard to overcome and usually shot 'empty', rather than being destroyed. Other opponents would be T-34/76s, preferably the mod 40 and maybe Matilda tanks, although they are very slow and rather easy prey for them if used cleverly.
As for the StuG III Gs, I'd say you can have almost everything as its opponent. Everything except maybe 20mm guns can damage the front (maybe it's the same as with the PzIII L though, I'm not sure) and its gun should be as good as the PzIV H's. Only downside is the lack of a turret, so be careful with very mobile tanks against it. You could try Shermans, a Lee 1:1 + another small German tank like the PzIII F, T-34s, maybe a T-70 + a Su-76, stuff like that.
Same goes for the Marder; just treat it as a StuG III G with less hitpoints and an open rear or like an Su-76.
