RE: Here is a Stalingrad 42 question
As another playtester of Stalingrad and somebody who has played a campaign as the Germans, I think in any strategy by the Germans they are hardpressed to win the campaign over the long run. The Russian numerical advantage in arty and infantry is just too great. If somebody has finished a campaign (i.e. to the last turn) and would like to share the results I would like to see the final turn.
I also honestly feel that knowingly attacking a bunch of fixed units and "nibbling" them off bite-by-bite is borderline gamey. By this I mean that the player is taking advantage of known setup limitations not using their skills to outplay an opponent. This problem existed also in the stock Kursk campaign where German players would "scoot" around behind Russian lines purposely avoiding unfixing Russian units and moving entire army level axis of attacks to areas where the Russian line was fixed.
