Hello Gerry,
The idea that predominates in the design of each scenario is that it's not easy to win the opposing side. If a 3:1 ratio is what needed to win a fight, in the scenarios of Heroes and Leaders mod the ratio is 1:1 or less.
It’s correct that during the Battle of Stalingrad, and especially on the dates of the scenarios, the Germans took the initiative and were the attacking side. However, that does not mean that the Soviets always fought defensively. In addition, in the H&L Barrikady scenarios where it’s recommended to play with the Soviet side, the relationship of forces increases in favor of the Germans, so that the Soviet side has to fight defensively with determination and serenity. Any important error is irreversible, given that they hardly have any reinforcements.
In the last H&L Barrikady scenarios, in the month of November, the Soviets take the initiative of the combat, although with moderation. Be patient.
The reinforcements enter the board by certain hexes. It does not depend on the players. Occasionally (H&L Carentan scenarios) the deployment of the units and reinforcements entry is random (depends on the computer).
Regards,

I was wondering about the Tsaritsa scenario where the Germans have to exit 6 units. Can they exit them off any edge?

I notice you have changed the counters too. For example, you have put gun caliber on the counter for tanks. A very nice touch. Makes it more immersive.

Hello Gerry,
In this scenario there is only one exit hex: "L1". That is, at least 4 squads/HS surrounded have to leave the board through the street of hex L1 (assuming that the two squads that protect the exit hex L1 also survive and can accompany them.)

Thanks. Sorry that I missed that. I do like how the text for exit hexes blends in.
