How about an event to increase the defences in #175 to reflect the tank traps and other defences built when Germany was nearing Moscow? We could also implement 1-2 Garrison divisions there as part of the same event?
As per my earlier comment, I have been testing some new events (4 of them) to reflect the Russian unpreparedness for War due to Stalins belief that Germany would not attack.
#1 "Russian Complacency" - Early 1936
Pretty much immediately, Russia gets some 'penalties' to Surprise (10%), Intelligence (10%) and Army Detection (10%)
#2 "A german proposal" - Following Molotov Ribbentrop pact proposal
Further Russian 'penalties' to HQ supply efficiency (10%), Repair mod (20%), Surprise land (15%). Intelligence (15%), army detection (15%) and radar efficiency (5%)
#3 "Alarming reports from the border" - Just following launch of Barbarossa (5 days later)
Slight improvements (all 5%) to previous penalties (I might revise this slightly, improving repair values closer to their original value).
#4 "The treacherous Germans have betrayed us!" - 35 days after event #3
All values back to their normal settings (improvements for all previous penalty values).
'Plans'
I am also thinking of introducing a German penalty to "frozen_attack/snow_attack/blizzard_attack" (if I can - havent looked into it properly) of the order of 3% - with 'bonuses' to Russian values of 2% (For Infantry and Tanks).
'The result'
As of August 1941, Germany has pushed USSR back to the outskirts of Moscow. Russian forces were being destroyed and encircled fairly rapidly due to the German advances. However, they were repulsed (they were spread slightly too thin) by the Russian defenders before they could launch an assault on Moscow.
Germany also pushed as far as Stalino in the South, before having to cut back their advances.
That was after my initial events were implemented (the events are firing correctly) but before I made some tweaks to the values and adding some additional values (still to be tested).
Looking promising but its still early days.. :happy:
