Kharkov '43, Krasnyy-Liman or Bust AAR

[ComradeP]

Nice AAR.

Looking at the scenario, it seems a historical timetable is very hard to achieve, as it is in many other scenarios.

Not being able to move and assault with infantry units, and the shaky quality of many Soviet formations makes the Soviets ineffective against determined resistance in bad weather conditions in scenarios where the clock is not ticking in their favour.

The Red Army is good at attrition warfare, but the combined arms/mobile operations that are required to get to objectives on time are difficult to pull off. It's even trickier in scenarios where all German motorized/mechanized infantry gets a 2 hex move in snow conditions, which is the case in the non-variant scenarios with infantry speed 5. With speed 4, only A quality infantry units can move 2 hexes in the snow.
