Question for VM re alt scenarios

[cavalry corps]

Even in the alt version and I agree there would still be some more variation than shown the Ruskies have it too easy in M44 and can acheive a more than historical resuly in less time

actualy VM version has it about right IMO though I am working on my version after playing that fully. You need to play the game and not look at just the morale ratings .

It is a sad fact that pretty much until the end in terms of quality ( leadership, initiative . tactics - you name it ) The Germans had the edge, they must have done history bears it out. They lost the war once they lost mobility... Kursk a point you made , a non mobile battle decided by attrition, just likie STGD. It was not the quality of the units but the numbers ( attrition) + a good dose of air superiority and logistics and some good Army level commanders

There is no way in the M44 game more than a handful of Russian units can make it to B ( though I have a few but I also downgraded one or two to E like the Lithuanian Div) although I have plenty of HQ improvements for the Russians ( HQ are more important now especially the ranges) . The real killer in M44 is the artillery and the supply levels to high later in the game. That also need toning down by reducing the setup and late game supply reductions 9 for both side but mainly the Soviets ) i.

My new version will be posted soon and I will welcome any commenst on that...
