Someone needs to get a grip.  The Germans did have better armor, and
if he can't beat it then he needs to review historical tactics on how
they beat them.  Tigers weren't the "I win" button.

Honestly I'd would (and have) just refuse to play with him any more.
Life is too short to put up with people who whine over a recreation
activity.  See my previous comment about the computer not complaining
about my tactics.
