First time as Russians - have a question

[Weasel]

I was overwhelmed with the Germans at first too but after several plays it has become much easier. I have yet to take Leningrad in either the big campaign or in the RTL scenario no matter what strategy I try. I have followed several UT videos, including one where buddy has never played before but took the city (it must have been on easy mode); he played using version 1.08. I can always take the city south of Leningrad but always fail at the big price.
