RE: Soviet Assault Values in alt scenarios
I have already went into great detail on why the Russian Guards infantry have lower assault ratings in the early war in the _Alt, it is over at vmods.com in the Kharkov thread.
In a nut shell, Guards are better in assault because they are better quality units, but Guards units are mostly defensive in nature until 1943 where they begin to surpass the regular infantry in every way. The guards units of 1941-1942 are supposed to be the stalwart defenders to hold the line, but that is not to say that they are not offensive units (I am just referring to the direct comparison of combat ratings here). Not everyone agrees with McNamara based db, or with all of the changes I have made so feel free to change the ratings to fit your own personal preference.
