Same as Americans, with lousy anti-tank weapons.  American squads could have 
more choices of equipment than most of the other nations (except Germany 
pre-42.  then again, it depends on the story line...)

You could give each German squad a LMG, since that is how they were 
historically organized.  If you just wanted to be cinematic, the CSA is 
probably just fine.
There should be some attempt to include leaders in each squad, but leaders 
could be made with the hero creation rules.

Great idea--those mini hershey bars could work.  In my hierarchy, Krackle is 
blue, Mr. Goodbar is red, reg. hershey and "special" dark is white...:)  
WHatever you have left, you get to eat at the end of the game.  Or if you 
get hungry while your foes are eatin' dirt...
