I think the partisans are far to mobile!
They shouldn't have more than 1 in movement rating.
In my last game I had more troops killing of partisans than conquering Moscow
When partisans arrive they sweep towards the nearest unoccupied city or mine and occupies them. Once they captured Kiev, the garrison was out hunting...partisans <G>. Had to divert an HQ, army and 2 corps to kill the bugger.
Another time the partisans raced into Belgrade and 'liberated'!!! Yugoslavia'. Again I had to use huge forces to get rid of the bug.
Prague got occupied TWICE....
I really enjoy the game, but I'll consider turning off the partisan option if it isn't improved. They were a nuisance on both manpower and supply, but with the exception of maybe Warzaw, they didn't perform anything like this.
What do the rest of you think?
