Several Moscow 42 Questions

[76mm]

OK, another question...so far I've played Mius, Minsk 44, and now Moscow 42; in each case I was the attacker (ie, on the Sov side). I wouldn't mind playing as German in some of these games but am concerned that the AI won't be able to put much of an offensive together, especially given the level of fortifications in some of these games. Can the AI put together a decent/challenging offensive?

And I know, I know, I will play a PBEM game eventually but I tend to focus on the monster scenarios and am not sure that I want to commit the next five years of my life to playing one against a live opponent!
