Night Disruption M44, etc.

Regarding replacement and recovery settings, I think a 1% recovery rate is okay even with the higher tank strenghts - once the units get to the last 5 tanks or so, they will only be recovering one every 10 turns or so, on average - and less as it gets even closer to full strength. That seems as reasonable as possible. But I would suggest staying away from a replacement rate for the Germans, since it is based on full strength, so even at a replacement of 1, if the unit is at the full level, if it has a full strength of 17, it will still be getting a tank every 5 turns or so all the way up to full strength. The Soviets, on the other hand, could probably use the replacement rate, for any tank units that manage to survive. Historically, the Soviets did push new tanks to the front in a few cases - I don't recall the numbers but Popov's group got a large number at one point in the fighting, which was important to their continued ability to fight as the group had lost most of its tanks by that time.

Just my thoughts on that, David.
