Barbarossa PBEM campaing

[Vesku]

You're right, SP can't show the strategics which affected so much the outcome of Barbarossa. That needs to be done artificially by lowering Russian quality.

You didn't mention airforces, Luftwaffe could lend a hand with couple of dozen planes ... counting only those in ground support role is not many but still a handful which is a handful more than Russians had.

All in all, the scale you are describing is something a majority of the people interested in the idea could probably commit to but at the same time it loses a lot of the original aspects. Perhaps a compromise of the original and the micro-scale?
