This isn't my first rodeo, and your basic suggestion of implementing the Red Army tactics that were used historically, have been studied by generations of military historians, and played out in hundreds of board and PC games over the past several decades is not especially helpful. I actually suggested that I liked the game - but that it still needs work. You might want to consult a PR consultant, but luckily, I personally find it refreshing. There's a mighty glib response from a developer. At this point, I regret to say that it is not really worth the $7 I spent on it, without some serious updates. There is a nice skeleton of a casual strategy game here, but it needs more work before I could reccomend this to anyone. The math just doesn't work when you've got a dozen 20 strength units that can wipe away your strength 7 units without taking losses. I don't know if there are triggered events later on that lower the strength of their units as they get deeper in to Russia, but I'm not making it that far. Look, the Germans should be kicking ♥♥♥ in 1941. They were well supplied and equipped, without a hint of trouble in their lines of supply as I retreated across the Urals again. They are rolled up by the spring of 1942, as while the winter impacted the movement points of the German legions, it did nothing to diminish their strength. I have fresh reserves of infantry armies dug in around Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad. I try to fall back before the onslaught, using defensive terrain. My armies are commanded by the best generals I have. This is nothing new to anyone that has played this sort of game before. I have my defensive line dug in in the best defensive terrain available, behind rivers whenever possible. It's not a matter of strategy or tactics. I was able to knock out the Baltic states and Finland after the pact with Germany triggered, sustaining no losses and narrowing my front. They did not appear to have an air force, but then neither did I besides the two starting fighters, as one fighter is priced the same as 4 infantry armies. The strength of the german panzer units is just ridiculous. My two armored armies and three morotorized armies are similarly destroyed as if they were infantry corps. My best infantry armies have a strength of 8 at best. I have many tech level 2 infantry armies by the time the Germans attack in the summer of 41, right on cue, but I am steamrolled by Panzer armies of 20+ strength. Twice I have lost by 1942, on "normal" difficulty. I've played as the USSR twice, starting in 1939.
