Questions for Glenn Saunders

[Indragnir]

Hi Glenn,

I was reading Glantz's works about Kharkov and Stalingrad battles, he provided some detailed TO&E for russian forces.

Regarding TO&E in your games, I presume every unit under BN structure is integrated on the counter.

What about with regimental-level assets? Let me explain.

Glantz stated a russian division (1942) TO&E at regimental level have 6xAT guns bty a 4x76mm artillery bty and a 6x120/82mm mortar bty.
That would be 3 counters plus 3 BN counters.

What I want to ask is: by the design philosophy you integrated those regimental levels assets on BN counters?
I'm confused since infantry guns are quite consistently represented (german side mainly) across the games (barring Korsun and Normandy, those games are special, historical TO&E to the max.) but not the other regimental assets.

On a divisional level I presume (same example) 6x 37mm AA would be integrated on the infantry counters, wouldn't be?
However Tank Brigades (Kharkov) have small AA unit counters...

Another question.
Glantz stated a FULL strenght russian infantry division by 1942 should have 44 artillery guns (36x76mm + 12x122mm).
In the games they range from 12 to 24, in your experience the russian division artillery were so understrenght (almost in every tittle) or it's a matter of balance?

BTW: did you receive my second e-mail (replying you)?

Thank you in advance.
