that raises an interesting issue. As we all know, Guderian and many other german officers were dismissed in December 41 and many other competent officers were dismissed by Hitler during the war. Is this addressed some way?

yes, leader can be dismissed due to lost battles.

Can those leader statistics improve or decrease?

Not yet, but it's on the task list to do prior to release.

Great looking game! Can moving units overrun defending units?

There is no overrun rule at this point but units with enough movement points can make multiple attacks in one turn.

There is hasty and normal (prepared) attack, with Hasty limited to only units from one hex being allowed to participate in the attack and it uses a lot less MPs. Good for when you have a tremendous odds advantage.

That's very cool (ie that leaders are going to change over time). It also suggests that
the game is following the Glantz-House reading of the overall dynamic of the fighting:
ie that the Soviets always had the basic firepower and numbers to do some serious
damage, but that their organization and command structures had to change and
vastly improve before they could really get rolling.

While the German command structures started at such a good level overall that
they could only decline overall if they changed at all.

My latest turn one drive on Minsk.[:D]

Is this a H2H game or against the AI?.. Seems the Russian's are pretty bunched up.
How is the German AI? It would be nice to be able to play the Russians in an East front game
Got to admit I wanna get a look at this one......

It's the first turn of a PBEM game. The units start the game in their historical positions. Most of the units you see on the map have been attacked and routed.
