PzKpfw IV Ausführung H/J Tank – 205 points
In Service: 1943 Element: Heavy Support
The Panzer IV was upgraded throughout the war and used in almost every theatre until the very end of the war. Although 1,758 Panzer IVs were produced between June 1944 and the end of the war it was not enough to make up for the heavy combat losses, and the Panzer IV declined in importance in the last months of the fighting.
The Panzer IV Ausführung H was very similar to the G, but featured an improved transmission, cast drive sprockets and slightly thicker armour on the turret roof. During the production run armoured skirts were installed on the sides of the tanks, to protect against infantry carried anti-tank weapons.
The Ausführung J was the final production version of the Panzer IV. The main change was the removal of the electric turret traverse.
The space saved was used to add an auxiliary fuel tank which increased the Panzer IV’s cross country range by 30 miles.

PzKpfw V Panther Ausführung A/D/G Tank - 385 points
In Service: 1943 (A/D); 1944 (G) Element: Heavy Support
The Panzer V or Panther medium tank was quickly developed to counter the Soviet T-34, and after a rather unsuccessful introduction to combat at Kursk eventually became the best German tank of World War II.
The Panther outranged almost every Allied medium tank of the war; it could penetrate their frontal armour from ranges at which its own armour could not be penetrated. The Panther's excellent combination of firepower, mobility, and protection served as a benchmark for other nations' future tank designs. In a way the Panther was the first modern MBT (main battle tank).
