FWIW,
I can say that from Strela's point of view, he has no idea at this point in the game which of the three strategic options I chose for the Russian cavalry. They do not appear on his screen shots. He does not know if the Russian cavalry is in the north, east or south. I am purposely trying to keep him in the dark for as long as possible.
This will lend the Russians several advantages to offset the more powerful German forces and their advantage of interior lines of communication. Effectively I am trying to freeze them in place to deliver a
coup de main.
- Freeze the more powerful German forces.
- Perhaps keep them from spreading out too much making flanking them more effective.
The Russians cannot win this one by going toe to toe with the Germans. I have to do everything I can to get them in a bind. The biggest obstacle to the Russian plan in this game is the effectiveness so far of the German artillery. It has been consistent every turn. It has disrupted my units as soon as they appear on Strela's screen. This has made attempts to out flank the Germans and use Finnish
motti tactics on their superior but more road bound force very difficult.
