Several Moscow 42 Questions

If the Soviets are in clear hexes, many units will disrupt over time, but in many cases you can move them into woods/forest or village hexes where they get some protection from fire. It can take some time to get a good concentration of forces, but when you get it and the grinding starts, German losses are high (yours are too, but you can take them).

The main reason I'm having the historical trouble with getting Kalinin Front going is mostly their awkard initial setup (including having a spread-out frontline with the HQ not near the front in the areas where you want to make a push) and the fact that a number of units around Kalinin are "fixed." The Germans in bunkers in clear terrain start taking higher losses by about turn 3, after a couple of assaults. 22nd Army's not in a good position to attack the German frontline and many units will disrupt, but 29th Army can do some good damage and when you've shifted the 250th Rifle Division west and the 262nd Rifle Division activates, 31st Army can get going.

By the way 76mm: if you're interested, we could play a PBEM game. Maybe Solnechnogorsk (the Soviet human variant, although the regular version might also be fine), which is sort of an extended version of the tutorial. If you want to, I'll play as the Axis.
