I warmly welcome the new patch, and applaud the developpers' team for listening to the community and adressing issues whose unsatisfactory treatment was a matter of widespread consensus.
I may be mistaken, but I believe another issue that seems to be quite frequently mentionned is the winner's side losses, and the retreat losses/ combat losses ratio (which is more appropriate to mediaeval or napoleonic warfare).

Any chance that that would be reassessed?

I think this is addressed by the new game. I don't think 2by3 would allow changing such balance-critical aspect of the game at this stage, as it could trigger a need to retune manpower and other resources production or an army would risk vanishing mid-game.

Of course, personally, I agree that lion's share of losses in this engine are retreat losses and this makes late war Soviet vs German battles a 1:1 exchange, which is unrealistic in my opinion.

I'm still trying to get my head around the 400K Hiwis in the 42-45 scenario. That implies 5 million POWS. Does anybody ever get 5 million POWS?
