ORIGINAL: ComradeP That second picture's pretty scary indeed, although there are also a lot of brigades in there, it's not all divisions, and many divisions are Rifle divisions which in 1941 are not that scary. Any idea why the AI places its units like a carpet across Russia, instead of concentrating them? It seems the AI would get much better results by concentrating units in stacks, as even though the total amount of units is high, there don't seem to be a lot of placed the Axis could not slice through if they wanted (of course they don't, but the Soviets don't know that). I tend to agree. The Soviet unit placement doesn't look very realistic, and possibly also makes it seem like they have too strong a force. I've played a lot of Eastern Front board games in my time and I don't recall seeing so many Soviet units all along the front in 41-42. Maybe concentrated around Moscow, but definitely more sparse than what we're seeing here. Of course, maybe this is totally historical, IDK...
