You know, the longer I am playing, the more I am believing this is a non-issue. At first yes, I was outraged to a point. I also was outraged at Mud, the First Blizzard, oh, heck a lot of aspects. Now that I have a bunch of time in on both sides, I give the makers of this game a lot of leeway. The 1:1 Russian attacks can be removed without changing too much, as it is very ill-advised to repeatedly attack that way. If you have 80,000 men attack, you will generally have 8,000 casualties, highly unacceptable. It is somewhat useful early, up through the end of the 1st winter, to dislodge Germans next to cities that still have factories to move, and to help move Germans out of forts. You can't make a living at 1:1. I have also concluded the number of initially shocking aspects of the game are what make the game great, it is so different than most games you will play on this subject. Operationally, this is the best game I have played. Think about it: the Germans are doing their best when the Panzers never fire a shot, and are rolling across the Russian Steppes attacking the supply lines. Most other games you are loading up the tanks on attack to achieve an automatic overrun to eliminate units.
