Russian balance

[stjeand]

Keep in mind we need a lot more testing with the new changes.
Not sure there has been a game that was start to finish with the new garrison rules.

THOUGH the Soviets got a huge bonus in the hybrid games where it was started with the old version and then the new kicked in.
They received the full garrison value for their troops where as the Germans have to spend more to get their troops out of garrison so lost PP.

This hosed me up as I did not have it all calculated correctly and missed the 41 invasion by 2 months...so now I have to test 42 invasion

I assume you are talking about your game with me. I agree that the Rule change coming when it did in our game really messed you up bad. I do think that a 42 Barbarossa is viable, but only if the Axis use 41 to conquer the UK, Gibraltar and the Middle East (or at least 2 of these 3). I am not so sure if a 42 Barbarossa can work if you haven't done any of these.

I do not think there is any absolute answer to a game with so many variables. I depends so much of context, the players strategy and also the... opponent.

This is correct. I did my best to make sure this game isn't a min-max game with a lot of fluid variables.

Very probable. I won't be doing any of those so I suspect I will be toast.

But here's to trying.
