Hello brndirt1,

you are right about the cost analysis - but sometimes you can't avoid it.

Since the conventional weaponary incl. Luftwaffe failed, the Wehrmacht brought in the biggies - and they did the job.

Perfect example would be the US Army until today viewed upon as a whole - endless ammo, a batallion and weaponary to the extreme to take out a foxhole with two guy's - it just seems that the US have the $$ for that kind of tactical engagements.
