Interesting, the OOB indicates he is protecting the minor Axis Allies, letting the Germans take the brunt of the beatings. Congratulations for drawing his motorised forces out into the cold too! The size of your army is becoming precipitously large. Your losses are not even 3 million yet! There will be lots of medals to hand out in February, as March may bring some changes. If you are wholly evil, like me, rotate good troopers (aka Guards) out of the front into the rear to gain morale and experience. Leave the rabble up front to take the initial blows. Take special note of German divisions you can get to rout. Often a German commander has too many problems, so those troops will stay in the line approximately where you break them. They create special soft spots in his lines. If you can hide your large and formidable army long enough, and let him stretch out, you can probe and find the soft spots, and choose carefully where to attack at the right times. If you don't break his Sj80's morale this winter, often that will do it enough to make your opponent resign.

Lesson learned to me! Regardless of taking objectives, the Soviet Army must be punished! 4 million casualties before December. Losing Leningrad and Moscow but not severely wounding the Bear means the objectives are meaningless.

Well played, sir.

I normally attach sapper regiments and MG-arty support units to try and strengthen the tank corps. This seems to match what you have heard concerning assigning infantry units to the tank corps. Great AAR by the way!

Thanks for the tips, Farfarer.
Any idea how sapper regs compare versus MG-Bat. when it comes to defensive combat effects? Those MG bat. have a large amount of MG's which I presume are great in the defense. Downside is, I'm very short on those MG squads in virtually all my Divs so they're probably going to take ages to fill out.
