Ed,

I did not mean to imply that your values were robust or not - I was refering to the historical situation, not the game or your/Marty's solutions.

I agree that play balance may dictate taking some liberty with history and empathize with Marty's efforts; however I disagree that the Soviet supply situation deteriorated from Nov 26 to Nov 30. I think that increasing vehicle breakdown for the Axis will simulate degradation of Axis armor capabilities; as for the Soviets - well, they won; if anything lowering the morale of the Soviet armor may work to lessen the impact of their onslaught.

Let's not forget that there was a fearful slaughter of Axis units; they were cut off, surrounded, unsupplied and frankly the mythology of festung Stalingrad is just that. These were not very cohesive units capable of an organized offense, and the Soviet meatgrinder could only kill so fast which[/align] is why the seige lasted as long as it did.
