Thoughts on Uranus SS variant?

[Sgt Fury]

The Axis side in my team game brought up the panzers and took out the "Iron Div (II)" which starts in the bend of the river, basically trapped with only ferries for escape. Possible strategies for dealing with this would have to be implemented by the Russians on turn 1: start building a poontoon bridge or 2, withdraw or reinforce.

In the actual battle the Germans had tried to eliminate the Iron Division's bridgehead on multiple occasions but had been unable to do so. In the game it seems too easy to do so. I think the Iron division front line should be pillboxes with bunkers in depth (like the Germans). Perhaps upping the Iron Division's morale to B from C would be good too (though even more reason to eliminate them then) but might be unbalancing the other way.

By the way, it is slightly amusing that the unit designation is "Iron Division" (version 2) :-)
