Don,
A friend of mine from college and I used to get together both during school and on several occassions after graduation to play MegaBlitz scenarios. It wasn't really a serious attempt at a game as much as a fun time to release frustration. We would put about 15 or so boards together and play maybe ten or so turns over the course of a weekend. The part you might find useful is that we'd each play both the Germans and the Russians by devising symmetrical board arrangements and force compositions, with two SS Panzer Divisions (heavily reinforced) attacking two Guards Tank Corps and two rifle divisions, or something similar. On one half of the front I'd play the Germans and he'd play the Russians, and on the other half of the front I'd play the Russians and he'd play the Germans. That way both of us were playing simultaneously on our own halves of the board, and we both played both offense and defense. Of course in our case, we really weren't trying to "beat" the other guy, as actually our main objective was to see how many Russians we could kill in total. We even labeled Russian CP units with the names of college professors, politicians, and other public figures that we didn't like, and celebrated whenever we killed one.
[sigh!] Those we the good old days....
