Fantastic AAR! I'd quite like to hear from the Ruskis now, hear what Mylgas thought was going on!

It does happen in assaults, but does tend to be triggered latter. What time limit are you working with?

So far as I am aware, ceasefires are more likely to come into effect if a certain set of circumstances come together. Such as low ammo levels on both sides and it’s a meeting or probe engagement. In assaults ceasefires are much less likely, and ammunition levels are not nearly as much of a factor. Think about it the ‘real’ world. Meeting and probe engagements are either a surprise or for a very specific intelligence gathering reason. For this reason it’s understandable that ‘disengaging’ or ceasefires are more likely. Neither side is perhaps prepared to fight it out to the end. Assaults/advances are planed offensives with adequate provision for ammunition expenditure, and the troops involved on both sides know that they are there to fight it out. To sum up ceasefires are more likely in clashes which simulate accidental meetings, or limited probing of enemy lines and less likely in full on assaults on fixed enemy positions. If you want fewer ceasefire game endings, play more advance/assault scenarios.

In a Finnish game, the L-39 is also an ok wooden bunker buster. It was used as such during the war, ater it becme a bit more useless against T-34's and so on. Using two shooting at angles to the front usualy results in abandonment.
