New S42 Campaign!

[Volcano Man]

Good luck - without artillery the Soviets are doomed.

Yes I agree. The soviet artillery, especially in the _Alt, *is* (historically so) their "punch" and their strength. It is probably the one thing they have going for them. However, it is justifiable to at least lower their artillery setup % slightly to represent their mobility problems in setting up that are inherent to this campaign.

I know that the standard arty setup % for Russian artillery in the _Alt is 60%, so maybe drop it to 40% (at the most) would help out. You certainly don't want to make it too low or they will never setup. I think that a slight adjustment to the Russian arty setup like this, with a few bunkers here and there, and the removal of the gradual Russian supply variation increase, then you will probably get a good result. As I said, you have to be careful not to go "too far".

But I don't know, on second thought, I am not so sure the Russian artillery setup needs to change. 60%, the standard, is already quite low enough and 90% of them are horse artillery which moves very slowly in the snow / across streams all over the map. I just think the artillery setup might be a knee jerk reaction to something that probably only needs very few tweaks.
