    See, what you need is to increase your population and gross domestic product. As to the former, you could invite me to come down and breed with several hundred of your more beautiful women. I feel confident that after a generation or so your GDP would rise as well as my superior offspring begin to assume leadership positions in your society. Call it a win-win situation if you like. Send me an e-mail and we can discuss my fee.

    Soviet troops "fighting to the death" in CM2

    Ive also heard that in 1941, more prisoners were taken then in the later war. When was this "turnaround" in fighting mentality present, then? Sometime around winter, when the slowdown in German advance heartened the Soviets? Again, we need an Ostfront expert.

    If this IS included, it would be pretty easy to implement. Just give Soviets higher fanaticism. Oh yeah, and one more thing: wasn't a good part of this mentality due to commissar units shooting at you if you ran off? Either way you were dead, so why not take some Germans with you? If these are modeled, their presence could raise fanaticism levels higher then normal. Seems pretty simple to me.

    I dont know if they were Commissar units, but they were called NKVD troops, and they were waiting behind the lines with machine gun bunkers and barbed wire entanglements.

    That's a good idea. BTS should model commissar units to "boost troop's morale." How else are we going to be able to use human waves to clear minefields?

    I think thats what penal battalions were for, commiting suicide to redeem themselves.

    Is BTS going to model these? I'd feel sad sending a bunch of people with no weapons into German lines. Most of them were old men and children my age who stole food to feed their families.

    Stalin was nice wasnt he?
