Any suggestions? Some of the points valued are from memory, the rest are taken from Rising Sun (I'm waiting to see what happens with FoW Digital before buying the book). I can't shake the feeling it may struggle against dug in infantry with so little HE for the tanks.

Why not replace the 2 katyushas with some AT guns?

The more AT in EW the better.
Also its possible that just 2 wont do too much damage. But im no expert on rocket artillery.

Tempting at a later date, I already have the Katy's all painted up from my late war army. but 122mm or 152mm look like a good option. There are currently two platoons of them with crew for a total of 8 'guns'.

I've re written the list slightly since I got hold of the actual book.

I got a game in with this. The Germans attempted to use (schwerpunkt) Stuka's to to stop my armour as his Panzer IVs could only damage my armour from the side. He only had one infantry platoon so my biggest weakness (massed dug in infantry on the objective) didn't come into play. My main losses were the BT-5s, which were vaporised under fire from the Panzer IVs and my infantry that came a cropper after their commissar pushed them a little too hard.

Some slight modifications to the list for future games which should nullify the weakness of limited HE somewhat.
