The thing you will find is that the German players skill in playing mainly 1941 determines most of the game.
If the German player is good/knows how to keep the panzers supplied and swapped via build ups the Germans can basically win the game in 1941...it was pretty much a given until the most recent patch.
Verdict is still out on the most recent patch...the air war is a mess and rail capacity for supply past 1941 on the soviet side may need fixes...but it seems the ground war may have finally been brought into some balance from what I am hearing.
The game in 1941 is really about the German player having the skill to manage fuel supplies and keep pressure up on the Soviet player all along the front. Thats the difference in skill of most German players, the full front pressure means the soviet player never has enough troops to stop key German pressure everywhere or even in the key spots if German forces are used correctly. In 1941 and even 1942 the German player can take any hex they want, the soviet player can only delay and buy time for the soviet army to build up...its why the game is really all on the German players skill in 1941 for the most part.
Yes the Soviet player can make some force movements and manage their army...but in General the first 4-5 turns the German player completely owns the battlespace as long they did the good T1 pockets and a the big super lvov type pocket in the south. Its why the game is usually more the German players to lose rather than the soviet players to win. Also cav corps an such dont matter really until the first winter...if the German player did their job right the Soviet player goes into the first winter still extremely crippled army strength wise.
Also you talk about air power---air power is a mess right now, so when it gets fixed dont expect much of the soviet air force until late 1942 or so.
