Thoughts on Building New Soviet Units

[raizer]

I think its better to teleport a leader into a troubled area, by exchanging him with the sub par army commanders that exist thruout the front and then assign all the divisions in contact with the panzers-maybe 15+ to that leader...there you have all your contact divisions or divisions that can get in contact, under a unified command-this will help in your attacks for the present turn and also help in the following german turn when those divisions in contact are attacked...odds are the germans wont be unifed and you will be. And the soviets have 5 or 6 uber leaders that you can put into army commands, so figure at least 50-60+ divisions under great russian leaders with 8+ morale, 7+ initiative...all in charge of divisions in contact and you will get to that 1-1 odds you want against any german stack of your choice. Its all about throwing soviet divisions up against the panzers...one division on it and the ones behind that in carpet stacks -under a unifed commander. Put a body on a panzer...and in turn 7 you get 130 ap dumped on you...use that for your leaders not to build divisions. Ive played 3 pbem road to moscows as the russians and none of them got past turn 11-its kinda hopeless because the german player is stuck with a fixed amount of panzers and cant lift any panzers from AGN or AGS to assist on the drive.
btw there were 2 panzers and a moto division in the vautin screen shot, right in the middle but they were decimated by 16 divisions that i was able to unify under vautin for one attack. Several of those divisions I floated to vautin from pukarev-there is just way too much flexibility for the soviets
