But the German units come in regiments and the Russian units in divisions. So if u have the same number of units as your opponent, your front line is then weaker, I think? Or is one German regiment equal to one Russian division?
Yes ofcourse. One german regiment can even defend against 4-5 red-army divisions, like it did in real life.
This is the reason why I like FITE so much. It pits the finest Army in the world ( at the time, it was the German Army ) against the biggest Army in the world ( at the time, this was the Soviets ). If the Soviets can hold on long enough to mobilize it's *entire* Army it could theoretically defeat *any* Army. As the Germans are finding out. It takes a finite period of time to draft a farmer, put him through basic training, infantry training ( or some speciality training ) and then put him in the reinforcement pipeline or ship him over to a specific unit somewhere. I heard of time periods of upwards of 9 months for the Soviet(s) to do this. So the finest Russian troops didn't start showing up at the front lines until late in '42 and early '43. Dave is holding up just fine ( for his situation ) in that his troops aren't in immediate jepardy of destruction. I've seen some situations where a miracle occured and the Axis troops ground up the Soviet units several at a time until the Winter of '43 Soviet Offensive when the tide turned. Dave isn't quite in that situation....he's still got a semi-hardened front line. Plus in a lot of places he's defending behind a river or marsh or something and the temporary lack of numbers of units isn't such a disadvantage anymore. D'oh.
