@Asid :)
This all sounds great. Is there any plan to introduce AAA to deal with the weakness of ground forces to air attack? I wonder if the air forces will be given some nerfing to represent air spotting better/people hiding from air attack.

Hi Boggit

AAA are not planned at this point.

The air forces will not be nerfed as it is not considered to be overpowered. In fact it is not really that effective. The effect is more visual at this point.

I hope this helps

I came across a nice set of Graviteam Tactics primers for anyone who is interested... I've found them helpful.

About This Content

First days of the German operation "Blau" in the summer of 1942 in the Oskol river area. The Wehrmacht 6 Army dealt a crushing blow at the boundary of the 28 and 21 RKKA Armies, forcing them to retreat in disorder to the Oskol river. To prevent the units of the Wehrmacht 6 Army from reaching the west bank of the river, the RKKA command redeployed the 91 TBde to Verhnyaya Lubyanka - the last point before the crossings near Volokonovka - with the objective to impede the enemy advance, and thus, gain time for the retreat of the battered RKKA units.

•   Two operations of 6 turns for each of the parties.
•   Precisely recreated area of over 60 sq. km: hilly plains with harsh terrain and extensive gullies.
•   Historical organizational structure of units at the time of the offensive.
