Bolt out of the Blue 5.3

On the SSMs, I assume this means they now can be used like super long ranged artillery? Not having seen the values, can't fully comment but just curious - why the change?

If they have decent HA and SA values this may be a pretty big deal.

During my studys of WP war org and tactics they yes would have been used as deep strike, 4500kg HE SS-23, off the top of my head, 4700kg on the SS-21. Of course early on would most likely be used on airfields and communications but in the end they would have been used on the front, thats the reason every WP division had a Bn of 4 assigned to the division. Of course 4 is to small following my law of 8 and 4 would not do a whole lot of damage but i did add ALL Army and Front level Bdes.

Scud, HA 6 SA 9
SS-21 and SS-23 15 HA 18 SA

will not make a big difference in the game as half are scuds with a slow fire rate and inaccurate.

The biggest changes are the finishing of WP war org and Spetsnaz making things uneasy for the Nato player in the rear plus the addition of the Soviet airborne supply hexs will let more divisions drop on first turn to add to the chaos.
