Really Rumbling on the Mius

[Dog Soldier]

Epilogue
To break through a fortification zone like the one presented in Muis 43, the Russian player should adhere to these simple rules.

Choose your axis of attack with a narrow focus of only three hexes wide.

Use artillery to disrupt enemy units on your path.

Save your units with the largest assault factors for assaults only. Do not waste them in the front lines where they can be disrupted by enemy fire in their turn or where they will suffer low ammo penalties for defensive fire.

Assault with as close to maximum stacking limits. Avoid the temptation to try and figure out the minimal assault force required. You will usually be assaulting with a quality detriment. Quantity is a quality of its own.

Ignore or screen off enemy units not in your direct path to victory. You need the extra units in your order of battle to reinforce the drive along your attack axis. Units will gain high fatigue or disrupt and not rally. You need a constant source of new units to replace those no longer in top form. Keep your divisions together. The units of a division should stay within one or two hexes of each other. Any further away and you risk losing one full turn to return the wayward to the divisional stacks.

Keep your HQ’s close to your troops for command and control support. Try to not expose your HQ’s to the enemy LOS as a human player will target the HQ’s over combat troops. Disrupting an HQ affect every units below it.
