Yes this Soviet runaway strategy needs to be rubbed out.

Am I correct in understanding that the soviet player doesn't receive historical numbers (in men and divisions) of reinforcements in '41?
I thought I'd read that somewhere on this forum, but I don't know the actual numbers.

I have also seen such comments. Also, Soviet player is unable to rebuild his army (post-41) if lots of his units are destroyed due to unreasonably high AP costs (so-called AP crunch). And they were set to high, probably because there is too much men and armaments produced, so if the Soviet runs away and saves units, he could build ahistorically large army. This is all connected, so if you will make Soviets fight forward, the AP costs need to go down. And if they go down, then manpower and armaments need a fix too. Which means balancing has to start from scratch, which at this late point is undoable.

It seems the expansion has been released.
