Technically PB used platoons for Germans and companies for Soviets. The
German infantry chits seemed underpowered but if you did a "multiply by
3"
they weren't that bad off. Problem was the German player didn't
normally
have this kind of parity.
There are a few modern rule mechanics you could graft onto PB to help it
out
(alternating movement, etc.).
