Russians ONLY "Little Saturn" No Germas Pls

Hi Wombat;

That sounds just what I did. I have a bit of urban terrain that breaks up the LOS a bit. I only have 1 km of visibilty in my game - is yours in "light snow" like mine? I'm surprised there is that much difference. I have left all my tanks as far back as possible still, just in case. Do not want to lose any right off the bat.

I've been playing some of the Dr. Bake scenarios as the Russians, which are huge armour battles during "Winter Storm." I was afraid of bogging at the start, but I've found its possible to move large formations of T-34s and T-70s at fast speed, and very rarely get an immobilization. Very counter-intuitive, I know, but I wouldn't be too afraid to move ours about at will. Having said all that, watch you bog and immobilize half your tanks lol! I get occasional boggings, but I give a reverse order, and in a turn or 2 the offending tank USUALLY unbogs, and can carry on.

So no contact yet? How many turns are you at now? Its not impossible that we are faced with very light opposition in these opening rounds. I plan on being somewhat aggressive with my infantry until proven otherwise - advance half my guys for a turn, then halt and advance the other half.
