I'd bestow that honour on CM:BS personally, but otherwise I am in agreement with your comments, particularly the excellence of the Soviet training missions.....I really enjoyed them and they felt about as Soviet as it gets.
PS - @The_Capt IIRC one of the Soviet training missions features an objective that is portrayed in the briefing as being an exit.....However it's not an actual Exit Zone, which means if your units take it by 'Coup De Main' they wind up sitting there getting shot to pieces by the defenders, rather than exiting as they should.
A lot of fuss gets made about using Exit Zones, because they complicate VP allocations, but it is my opinion that they should be used when the scenario calls for it.
