For those who have played Minsk 44

[Volcano Man]

...Can some of you guys give me a ballpark figure of what you think would be a fair VP increase for Russia to acheive.

Sure, IMO a good VP level is something like:

22000 25000 29000 36000

...this is what I have changed the _Alt campaign to recently. It is a "middle value" between the stock's vs. AI campaign levels and the stock's PBEM victory levels. A few people that played the PBEM version said the VP levels were too low, and the vs. AI victory levels are too high to play PBEM (since the Germans can simply exit units from the map to win), so these "middle" values seem just as good as any.

Once thing is certain, it is assumed that the Germans should be trying to hold objectives as long as possible and should also be trying to get units off the map to escape destruction, otherwise the stock vs. AI victory levels will be perfectly fine.
