RE: EP '14 mechanics/balance
Ah, yes that is why I asked if he played Lodz with a human. They Russians are rough there, given the numerical difference that they often relied upon when facing the Germans of course. Not to say that it is perfect (and actually the Lodz campaign has undergone some nice tweaks for the coming update) but just saying that the Russians aren't a push over either.
BTW, regarding Lemberg, let's keep in mind that the Russians were fighting the Austro-Hungarians. It would be best to reserve full judgement of the the Russian Army until the eventual day that we have that battle in a game. I have no doubt that the Russian Army would be capable of effectively fighting the Austro Hungarians though. ;)
Also I really don't see how a historical result would even be remotely possible if the Russians were any different in Tannenberg, but I do understand that sometimes it is depressing or a shock if our favorite army has serious weaknesses. :0
A little known factoid: Russian infantry Bde HQ command radius values are actually all 2 hexes not 1, it's their poor quality that makes it what it is. ;p
