Thanks for the explanation Pelton, it is completely true that you have a very elegant and delicate way of attacking, with as few attacks as possible to gain the expected result.

Relative to the soviet behaviour (not aggressive enough), the fact that everyone play mild winter now and that the +1 attack bonus highly rare probably do not help.

Without bonus and the bad leaders, in 1941 even en entire soviet army is not sure to disloge a german division. And if a fighting withdrawal occured german looses will be very light.

It shouldn't be impossible to have a strong German army in 1943 if you avoid catastrophic/idiotic losses like in Stalingrad etc.

Yes it should...even before Stalingrad the German army was horribly understrength....stalingrad happened because the Germans had a lack of manpower to man the front already.

I will not speak about the manpower balance issue because i lack information about it.

But behind this tree, i see also a technical issue : The TOE upgraded completely not correlated with the operational situation.

TOE of units currently follow history, but looks out of touch with reality of the actions in game :

Example :
-Here in 1943, german squads are downgraded although the pelton's german army do not lack manpower at all and could stay with 10 men squads.
-In my game august 1942, my soviet rifle divisions are downgraded although i have no armement problem to fill the june 1941 TOE.

I hope we will have control of TOE change in WITE2 to avoid these illogicals issues.

There is 2 sides to every coin not one.
