Barbarossa still...

[burroughs]

As far as I know "Barbarossa" was derailed at Smolensk, starting in July '41 , and it definitely didn't last past December the same year so dunno what You were doing in Jan 1943, but that wasn't "Barbarossa". Having said that, I am afraid I cannot point to anything based on my own experience as I simply don't have any with "Barbarossa" as such, but for Army Group South in "The Waters of Dneper" by Pavel Volyov and crossing the border in the centre.

Certain limitations need to be imposed to simulate certain objective facts like the harsh winter '39 - '40 in Europe Aflame. Once my opponent for "Indochina 1951 - 54" lamented that he is not allowed to use all of the units and subunits which are on garrison duties, another that I objected his paradrops on supply entry points - there are certain simplifications and sometimes even oversimplifications or ,on the other hand, something that seems a mere and unnecessary complication, but in the long run it is often fully justified, especially in scenarios that attempt to reenact historic circumstances. Are You going to object the appearance of mud and the general German unpreparedness for that? How would You simulate the lack of winter grease and other paraphernalia in the game once the winter comes and it comes early and jerry is still away from Moscow?
