2023-01-10(A) Jim Bishop vs Tony Gibson Russian winI am not sure about the balance in this one. It is an interesting scenario and I love the concept, but the seems to be too much variability in the forces. For instance, the Germans could get 3 x 50L AT guns or they could get 2 x 88 Flak Guns. The 88's appear to be too much. The 50L's could be enough if GD is considered "Elite" but I wasn't able to find anything saying they were. The Russian reinforcements include the possibility of 3 x SU-122's with SMOKE 8+ which would be huge for the Russians.

I think it would be an interesting to make these selections cost points instead of a DR and for each side to bid on them. The German entry could be inversely tied to the Guns they receive. Get the 88's and the AFV's arrive on the last turn. Get the 50's and they arrive on turn 2.

It is a fun and interesting scenario, I just wouldn't want to play this for kidneys.
