German and Russian Infantry units - comparison


I've listed the main units for both sides. You can see why German losses have been high. The Russian units are not really push overs in this scenario. Russian units have 80 more men and their defense factors are excellent whilst their Soft attack factors are quite good. Russian morale is fairly decent as well. The Russian 32nd Rifle Division has two Rgts of C Morale troops and one of D/E. The 222nd has one Rgt of C Morale and two Rgts of D.
 
The German Infantry Bn's from the Infantry Divisions have to do most of the early fighting. They start off at 80% so will drop to 70% after some further casualties. (which makes them 90% effective) they suffer from the 20% Frozen penalty. They usually have to make their attacks from Clear terrain against entrenched Russians in wooded terrain. 
 
However German unit quality is good. The German 7th Division has B quality units whilst the 258th and 292nd are all A rated similar to the motorised infantry in the Panzer and Motorised Divisions. The motorised infantry units are larger units in terms of men. The 3rd Motorised is probably their best units. same soft attack factor but 150 more men. The motorised infantry from the 19th Panzers are also large but have lower soft attack factors? (there are only two of them)
