RE: Kharkov '43 campaign game
I think it's also a question of morale.
Our german local counter-attacks were effective but costly for us. And the number of destroyed soviet units was insignificant considering all their forces. The best effect of our counter-attacks was that russians were thinking they can't win and decided to surrender... but the same could happen to us too. We had 2 infantry divisions almost entirely destroyed. One of our best divisions, the Das Reich was severly injured with several compagnies and batalions destroyed and... the most important, there was a big big gap in the middle of our lines. Each turn i was carefully watching the replay to try to find some russian units approching the undefended city of Kharkov.
