Kiev ´43 - First Impressions

[Plain Ian]

I’m playing a Minsk 43 with delayed disruption being used (I’m playing Soviet) I feel it helps the balance in that title
  On Kiev in the very early stages of two campaigns one as each side. The lack of bunkers makes for a fun start the mines make the engineers very important. And the early release of some panzers make things very interesting good start so far got it’s own unique feel to it already. It’s not the Soviet Army of Kharkov 42 43 nor has it yet become the beast that is the Soviet Army of Minsk 44

I'll be interested on hearing how the game actually plays. Especially from people who have maybe played the Kharkov 43 game. 

Superficially both campaigns appear to be similar but the Germans possibly are better prepared in Kiev 43. And of course B rated security units behind the line will help? However that might apply equally to the Russians in Kiev 43 as well?

I prefer Delayed Disruption. I now find it tedious and too predictive to play games where a player uses artillery or Direct Fire to Disrupt then makes his assault.
