Been wondering about the correct strategy for the Russians for this CG. They are given 3 elite infantry coy and 10CPP. The CPP is enough to purchase two more coy in reserve. That is 5 infantry coy vs the probable 7 infantry coy of the Germans.
So how about if the Russian forget about the flanks and set about defending the center? The center is where the stone buildings are so they will have better TEM. If the Russians set up deep in the center and leave the flanks alone then how will they fare?
The German could split his force and attack down both flanks, hoping to capture the east map edges and isolate the Russian force (there is a Q&A sent to MMP about this issue - no reply as yet). The Germans would waste one CG date reaching the east edge and not attacking the factories.
The Russians could harass the German advance. By the time of the second CG date the Russian can purchase 3 more infantry coy and will still have most of his initial force intact. He could counter-attack the Germans and set about defending the flanks.
If the German decides to drive down the middle he will have 5 coy of Russians to deal with. It would be slow, particularly with the Guns and Forts that the Russians would have (and even OBA).
How does that sound?
