g'day,
have scanned for info on the Soviet Combat bonus which is on the game options screen, and can not find a clear explanation on it..

If you choose "NONE" what does that do ?
if you choose "DEFENCE+1" what does that do ?
if you choose "ATTACK+1" what does that do ?

thanks for any info

Attack +1 is the original rule as explained in the manual. Till the end of February'42 Soviet attacks need only 1.00 to 1 odds (or better) to win (instead of the usual 2.00:1). Defense +1 is a reverted rule, where German odds are reduced by 1, so they need at least 3.00:1 to win in this period. None is no odds modifiers apply.

thanks for the reply,
does this mean that the bonus modifiers only apply from the beginning of 1941 campaign till end of feb'42 and no further ?

Would these soviet combat bonus modifiers cancel out to some degree the reduced blizzard effect if it were chosen ?

My guess in no interaction between weather (any) and combat bonus for sov. The bonus is there or not there depending on the game set- up, and that's all there is to it. lol.
