I believe early war russians behave one quality level lower than their rating.

Join one of the wargaming clubs on the net, I play for instance at the blitz (www.theblitz.org) and I have finished 33 games, and no AWOL opponent so far. The scoring system on the Blitz is not too competitive so games stay relaxed. Other internet ladders are more competitive, if you are interested in tournament play.

Well, I think I made this remark, so I'll expand on it : As far as realism goes CMBB losses also include shell shocked me, wounded, that could be recovered between battles in a campaign *IF* there is sufficent time between battles. One thing to consider also is that CMBB only models front line troops. For each man on the front lines there is between 5 and ten doing logistics and support. And real WWII casualties figures (will have to get the opinion of the grogs to have real figures) were easily a few percent per day at the division level. This means that front line troops could get really mauled, since most of the losses concentrate on the few battalions that are in direct contact. So I think attack / assault casualties are probably fairly realistic (casualties = wounded + "shell shocked" + dead). Probes are another matter.

The main trouble with campaign is that, given the usuall loss rate of a CMBB scenario, there is not much left to go on...

Wild guess : what is the unit command delay ? well above 1min ?

CMBB, CMBO PzC : S41, N44, K42, T41 Great battles series (showing my age here) NWN, Morrowind SimCity4, TOAW:ACOW

I find them usefull in defensive game, if there is a town or a fairly dense village : demolition charges are deadly in closed spaces and FT are usefull to render building useless for cover for the opponent.
