Minsk 44 No fixed Campaign game wanted

[Elxaime]

Is the stock scenario that foregone a conclusion?

I have only played it as Soviets (twice) but in doing so I could think of a few things the Wehrmacht could do to give the Red Army a few grey hairs.

You may be right on VP levels though. There are a couple of other PzC games that have a similar problem (e.g. K43) where the attacking side can usually win more than enough VP for a major victory by destroying defending units without paying much attention to the VP hexes. Given that much depends on relative player skills, setting these is a hard task for a designer.
