Panzer brigade question

HI!
How much stacking points do a panzer brigade have? 1 like any other division? In the manual I did not find an answer. 1 stacking points is too low, 3 way too much. 2 stacking points maybe? With 1 stacking points it's an ultimate killing machine (my good old super panzer korps).

Tom,
The manual does state (in the stacking points column) that a Pz Bde requires 3 stacking points just like Pz/Tank div's.
The manual of course should be taken with a grain of salt but, based on my stacking experience, I would say it's correct here. Whether this is RIGHT is of course questionable... I think the stacking rules reflect more the organisational "heaviness" of a unit rather than it's actual combat strength, but someone with more knowledge of axis divisional/brigade organisation must answer this. It may of course just be a way of more or less forcing the axis to keep them in France, where stacking points do not apply.
Cheers, Teppo
