As for assaults I agree that attacking individually is the way to go. The Russians do have to watch for disruption although you can reduce this I think by using what I call soak offs? If you have a disrupted unit adjacent then you use this to reduce the defensive fire of the assaulted unit by trying to get it to return fire. I say "think" because I've always assumed that an assaulted unit uses the same code as a unit which is fired on during a turn and basically can return fire a maximum of 3 times? Maybe I'm wrong? 

Of course artillery can also spoil an assault so that's unpredictable and a very nice touch in the game.

Units can return fire 3 times, and Assaulting uses the same code.

Do take care when assaulting with weak mediocre quality units, as an enemy battalion that has been 1 Man/D'ed (which is the bane of Soviet units) but otherwise in good shape might Disrupt the enemy unit during the assault.

Strangely, when a defending vehicle stack defends successfully without loss but one of the unit Disrupts, the result still says "No Effect"
