Hidden units

[Steel God]

IMO, the Russians just weren't tactical thinkers like the Western allies or Germans.  The one exception was Stalingrad in the city itself.  Everything else I have ever read were some companies, but mostly whole bns tasked to do something that the Western armies were doing with Companies and Platoons and sometimes Squads.  For them, it seemed like a numbers game.  That is the way it has always come across to me.

That right there is why I can't picture buying the Kursk edition of the PzB series.  The scale of the game is company and platoon, and the Russians just don't think or work below Battalion level.  In my narrow minded view of things, PzC is the perfect scale of Eastern Operations where the Soviets have battalions that don't break down and the Germans have battalions that do.  The PzB scale just works better in the West, and even the Normandy title (which I have not played) makes me tremble at the counter density at that scale.
