Hi!
The German pzkw III & IV both represent medium tanks for game play purposes
The Panther and Tiger both represent heavy armored units.
The different molds were included to just add flavor (sorry for the confusion). Essentially we could not decide whether the Tiger should be the Heavy tank piece (It was a Hy. Tank and is very recognizable) or the Panther (a lot more Panthers were made and Panther tanks were more the mainstay of late German armored formations - Tigers were more oftern formed into independent battalions). So instead of making a call for one or the other - we opted to include both molds. To make a long story short - they both represent Heavy armor for game purposes.
