Thoughts on Building New Soviet Units

[raizer]

in the small scenarios dont waste your time...on the narrow fronts, use those aps to stock your armies with great sov leaders....in road to moscow you get a 130 ap dump on turn 7...take 4 -5 armies put the best generals in those and then unify all the divisions under each army prior to each turns attacks-all you need is 1-1 odds and you will have the 100% command bonus while, more likely than not the germans will get the 20% penalty if you hit a stack thats not under the same xxx and that will get you to the 1-1 odds. You can have 4 or 5 armies running at 32 command points and you will be fine. Having your divisions near the panzers, all under one army command, run by a superior leader is better than building units-at least in the 17 turn games
put your infantry on the panzers-make him hasty them out of the way

your amry commanders must have good morale and good initiative-zuk, tolbolkin, pukarev, vautin-those 4 can do a lot of damage on attack and defense, esp. if a cluster of soviet divisions are unified under each of them
