Lightweights....

Just wondering whether the servers went down about ten minutes ago - game vs Enric would not upload and I had to forgo my turn. Scenario was Rescue.
Also please please please make the text box in MP editable with the arrow keys. The number of times Iv'e typed stuff only to realise I have made an error and have had to delete and retype half the message just to fix up something.
Not sure on first impressions that lightweights is balanced. The allies had at least 2 M8s and 2 M5s whereas the Axis had halftracks and a rocket bren. Not really the equivalent. The axis did get a Stug and a Marder but these are easily matched by the fast moving M10s. Axis 1 mortar vs Allies 1 mortar and a the two M8s. Allies force is also faster moving with the M3s being fast tanks.
I like the idea of the scenario, it's very reminiscent of old RTS maps but I think that it would be much better if it were MG halftracks, AT guns and infantry only. Then it would really be "lightweight".
