My two cents' worth here: NM 40 was a killer in 42. I had a position at the start of the 42 Spring that would have been an easily won game for the Soviets in earlier versions. The Germans just went through my defenses and kept rolling. They didn't need anything fancy, just push. Morale melted away, nobody could hold anything, and I came within a handful of VPs of 260 auto-German victory. It didn't help that a lot of that happened in an earlier draft where Soviet supply levels were grossly inadequate for even defensive operations. When NM firmed up in late 42, my situation improved just enough to avert disaster, and by February 1943 I finally had the initiative. But the German gains from the early war included Moscow, Leningrad, Yaroslavl and Ivanovo, and right up to Tambov. So it was a long ways back. Only in Jan 1944 do I retake Moscow. My high-quality 20 guards cav corps have been instrumental in this. Oh well. At least I got to play out a portion of 1944 against the not-yet-buffed Germans of 8.06.
