ORIGINAL: Schmart I agree with Flavius that there can be a bit too predictable and too much gaming the system in WITE. I think that the biggest factors that need to be nerfed for 2.0 are the Lvov opening and the horribly unrealistic 1941 panzer drives by some players, and the Russian carpet defence along with the ability to maximize a fantasy Russian Army. Players should absolutely have options and not be forced into little historical boxes. However, real life events/decisions have pros and cons, and some of the standard strategies now have little negative effect. In reality, a Lvov pocket may have been plausible, at the expense of severely limiting AGC supply for months. One Panzer Army might be able to get east of Moscow in Aug 1941, but only by stripping all transport from the other 3 Panzer Armies. The Russians might have been able to put together a smart co-ordinated defence in depth in 1941, had there been no political interference. The Russian Army OOB might have looked different if Zhukov had sat in an office the whole war instead of in the field saving Leningrad, Moscow, and Stalingrad. There just doesn't seem to be that "gee, if I do this I will suffer that" strategic option feel to WITE. Part of the problem with as complex a game as WITE is that there can be a lot of gamey loopholes to close... You are forgetting that horribly unrealistic 1941 blizzard. Actually I think WITE against the AI with some house rules for the human player is a very enjoyable game. In my current game I had a very realistic 1941. The only drawback was the blizzard, I set Soviet morale at 60, for me to be able to defend forward. But below 110 the AI lacks aggressiveness, so it did nothing in the Moscow sector, despite its units being more than enough to push me far back. On the other hand on 110 I would have been forced to run, which would be even more ridiculous. Oh, and the combat system needs a revamp. It's ridiculous to see post-43 Soviet combat victories. Losing only 1000 out of 100.000+ while the German loses 1200 out of 10.000 men with regularity.
