Sure, but then what would match the M10? StuGs were not used much in North Africa because they were really unreliable there. Maybe a Marder III or a Flak truck, but I’m not sure if it would be fair to either for be matched with the M10.
Panzer 4G maybe? Is more fair than the panther as a counter
I’d prefer a Flame Thrower Portable No. 2 (Lifebuoy) as the Flame Trooper II unlock since its British and I’d prefer more British gear/squads to be added to Tunisia over US gear/squads. (Might have not been used in Tunisia though)

I get that we need things at times to be asymmetrical, but the disparity between the two tanks and their roles is frightening, and would be a massive imbalance IMO.
One is designed as a Breakthrough Heavy, the other as infantry support. Way different methodology.
Unreliable? Its the same chassis as the PZIII which did fine after some notwithstanding Tropical modification.
I agree there were not many , but they were used successfully when deployed.
I’m not sure why, I read a few things recently that stated converting the Panzer III to the StuG did something to the air filters which exposed them to the dust and sand of the desert, at least the early variants (I’m not sure about the later variants, because I can’t find anything about those). Basically, the same thing that caused the Crusader II to be known as unreliable.
Who knows Mkb 42 and Tiger H1 for Axis in Tunisia.
The Kiraly was already confirmed in a delete topic by some leak
They could even add tiger and I still wouldn’t play Tunisia axis by personal decision.
Boring campaign…
The StuGs came well after the initial PZ3s , and as a result of sharing the same Chassis design, the same tropical filters were applied to them along with some other modifications to make them suitable.
There just wasn’t enough of them, of the correct model to really influence anything in Tunisia.
Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up.
No worries. I study war way too much for my own good.
Though in my 100s of books there is a lot of contradictory material, depending on the source. It makes it hard sometimes to be right or wrong.
I still have the same struggle with the StuG and its damn MGs because of all the field mods and incorrect factory reports so…no fault on you at all.

That’s going to become a premium
The Sturmpanzer II Bison can be added as it has done Tunisia

I mean, you could match it with an M7 priest, but is self propelled artillery really what we want to see here?
Yes to see after the only things that could add is the bazoka m1 and panzerfaust or the tiger and the Churchill Mk. IV and other equipment that made this campaign
In theory you don’t even need to add the Tiger to match the Churchill, the Panzer III M is basically immune to the 2 pounders and 37mm making it effectively as tanky as a Churchill III, at least in the context of the Tunisia campaign.
yes to see but the tiger will surely be on Tunisia at the end of the campaigns
That’s not guaranteed, KV 1 is unlikely to be in Moscow and King Tiger is unlikely to be in Normandy.
To be seen as the tiger 2 p has done Normandy and the campaigns have more than 40 levels planned
