Several Moscow 42 Questions

[76mm]

The problem with having them as companies is that they're too vulnerable (because units can be targeted individually when in a stack) and too weak, which sort of promotes a strategy of parking them in the rear somewhere because otherwise I'd be giving the Soviets easy points.

I've wondered about this too...granted I'm playing against the AI, but the hordes of "x-sized" German AT and artillery units manning the front line are easy prey for my rifle battaltions, and they are getting wiped out by the dozen. That said, this fate seems fairly realistic to me, or at least would be realistic if these units were deployed in this manner.

I haven't read extensively about this period of the war, although I would guess that German outposts generally consisted of a combined-arms force of some infantry with maybe some AT guns and infantry/artillery tubes as well. One limitation of this engine seems to be that units have to be made up of men, or guns, but not both.
