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.
