difficulty attacking as Soviets in Moscow 42

[ComradeP]

To me, the key is to not expect great results in a single day but rather to adapt to waging a slow, methodical and costly war. The German replacement figure is low and I have concerns about how likely it is for them to survive the opening month without losing a lot of units. As the Soviets, you can recover from virtually any kind of losses over time, provided you give your units time to recover.

Another important things to keep in mind is that many Soviet formations are still in a defensive posture, with the resulting poor C&C when attacking. Move your HQ closer to the frontline and try to give your assaulting units a limited, narrow, front, backed up by artillery. Soviet artillery isn't anything like the artillery in the late war years, but it can still get the job done.
