RE: EP '14 mechanics/balance
The thing I think should be changed is the Russian ability to dig in in every book I have read like Dennis Showalter's Tannenberg Clash of Empires and Prit Buttar's Clash of Empires and a Seven volume series I found on Amazon and on the sections that was focused on the eastern front.In every mention German officers remarked if you gave Russians a few hours they would be below ground and would have to be dug out. I think the Russians should have a bonus on the ability to dig in.I have played and am playing right now another scenario and the Russians some times it takes day for them just to make a improved position.
I spent 8 years in the infantry and I could dig a fighting position in a few hours and morale rating should really have no bearing on how well somebody can dig a trench you can put a shovel in a morons hand and they can be below ground in a few hours if they know that if they aren't dug in they stand a good chance of dying.
just my 2 cents
