Smolensk 41 Campaign

[Mr Grumpy]

IMHO, the Russians lack of supply sources means they are more vulnerable to surrounding. Mogilev historically became a large pocket that held out for some time delaying the advance on the southern end of the CG map. This is not possible since surrounded Russian forces drop for "normal" morale of D to E just for isolation. Add low ammo or disruption, which will occur, and they become F or no morale, just a bag of rabble easily mopped up.

I have not played the stock CG, but i am playing the xp2 version at the moment, in that scenario Mogilev has a small supply source which allows the Russians to fight on even when cut off, i allways felt that was more realistic than the stock scenario.
