Uncle Joe's boys

Fantastic work with all the screen shots. [&o]
However I detect a glaring bias in favor of the German side. [:-]
Whenever a unit is selected to illustrate this or that cool thing in the game it is a invariably a German one. We must remember who emerged victorious in this gigantic struggle & as I recall it was not the Fascist invaders at all. I would like to lobby for equal time for Uncle Joe's boys (& girls).
Could I please some ss's detailing Soviet units & leaders please.
Also I tried to get WiR working on my Vista machine with DOSBox but I can't get past a dreadful case of color corruption. However I read through the rules enough to know how much I missed by not playing that wonderful game. However I am a bit intimidated by the sheer scale of the game. WiR was corps-based & WitE is on a divisional scale.
Is this going to be a playable game for those of us who are detail-challenged?
We know named Soviet units were smaller than the named German ones. I assume the Soviet units are composed of the actual elements that went to make them up & are not beefed-up, mythical units constructed to maintain silicon parity with their German opponents. Is this correct?
Thanks for all the pics. Fantastic game in the works. [&o][&o][&o]
