Whenever I concentrate about a Rifle regiment+artillery against a single Axis battalion, I can destroy the defender in about a day, sometimes less. From a mathematical perspective (losses suffered compared with amount of turns) making a stand seems fairly suicidal for the Axis. This worries me. Even units in bunkers can take similar losses than those in other hexes, because many bunkers are not actually in a good terrain hex near Kalinin and thus only seem to give a +20 bonus, which is peanuts when facing an entire Rifle regiment. With the alternate assault rules, on the other hand, you can't really scratch bunkers. There doesn't seem to be much of a middle ground.

From a mathematical perspective, Axis losses don't seem to be sustainable. Even assuming you can't assault a unit, you can generally hit them with a number of artillery units each turn (provided you plan things right) so they'll still take 10-15 losses per turn, which means they still die in 2-3 days (depending on whether you can assault them). It's like in the tutorial, but all along the front: you can't advance far on day 1, but you destroy numerous battalions. In the tutorial, I can't move more than a couple of kilometres into the German line, but I destroy 3-4 German battalions in 1 day.

Although losses from single attacks often still feel like they're on the low side, daily losses can be quite high.

In this game not many infantry unit can even fire at units in a bunker so artillery is really the only choice to try and get a disruption and most of them have lousy Hard Attack numbers.

Don't they automatically go Low Ammo if they fire while isolated?
