Balancing? Campaign 41 ?

[MB00]

Will the new release address the apparent German overrun?

some thoughts of what might be done to address this:

My thoughts...
1/ Return to divide by 4 any panzer attacks across rivers in "41".
2/ Return to better soviet air training in 41. Sending fighters to fight with experience 35 is demoralizing to a human player.
3/ Consider an increase to supply for Russian units through Sept 30, 41. Perhaps increasing by 10% per turn through to Aug 31,41; then 5% through Sept 30,41. @Oct 1,41 all such accumulated multiples disappear, but not the HQ supplies perhaps accumulated.
4/ Reduce normal German rail supply to 8 in July and 7 in August 41.
5/ Would there be a way to create more Russian units till Nov 30 41...so as to allow for buildup of more entrenchments? Perhaps for 41, Russia could "borrow" some slots assigned to German korps.

I suggest that the above would help improve the Russian position, though how much is uncertain.

My current game where the Russian armour was reduced to 2 hex plotting for turns Aug 17, 24, 31 appears to be a fizzle for the Russians. By this time, 5 hex movement for panzers is no longer critical. ok, so i either made a major flub of defending Kiev or the Germans got lucky on their first attack.
