the part about counting shells was a big deal with us - we started with a full load for my tank and an NPC with a tank as well in my campaign (we were an armored unit during the breakout attempt) and we managed to hit a supply dump that had some captured shells in it - but eventually shells started to be an issue - when we got to Krakow we bought some but they werent cheap (sure we have shells no problem - and then you see what they want for them!).
You start getting to the point of seeing a ripe target for ambush and then having to decide if its worth the loss of shells to go for it. By the time we finally got back to a US unit we were basically down to the last few we had left.
By the way its the same with guys who love to shoot like crazy with their M-16's and SAW's - rock and roll is a great way to fight if you have ammo resupply and a pretty dumb way to fight if you are spending hours picking up every brass casing to get reloads.
