- If you're playing the Russian army in the second of Three-Sixty's war games
- the key to success lies in having overwhelming numbers of troops and incessantly
- hounding down the German forces. To tilt matters even more in favour of the
- Russians they have superiority in almost every weapon class. What you mustn't
- do is enable the Germans to dig in - make several quick early strikes in the
- opening 24 hours. Artillery tanks and infantry should go on an all-out assault
- to destroy as many front-line units as possible and to split the two German
- forward divisions.
- If you want one of the ultimate challenges a war game can give you try taking
- control of the German forces. Even if you decide to dig in it's all too easy to
- be overwhelmed by the sheer might of the advancing Red Army. To give yourself a
- good start you should try to fortify positions in the main city. The 83rd
- infantry division should fall back to the relative safety of the city and join
- forces with the troops already there. Artillery and rocket units should drop
- further back within the city after pounding the main Russian advance which is
- almost bound to come along the two railways and two main roads. As for supplies
- the essential line is that to the southwest. The northwestern line can be cut
- and the western line may temporarily fall into enemy hands but protect that
- southwestern line at all costs.
