2+ activation slots is quite a benefit when trying to make as fewest possible compromises. Part II: How to organise your deck creation.īecause the game is still in beta, and just to make yourself more flexible you will need to lose “era” and “type” bonuses, but by all means keep the glorious USSR national deck bonus for more units.

Yes you can make proper compromises where needed. Yes you have enough units to represent almost every regiment in the soviet forces from 1975 to 1980 *other peculiar limitations will be discussed in text.

No you can’t accurately represent a force larger than a regimen/brigade.

Anything bigger than a regiment dilutes the “authenticity” of your force’s composition, in other terms, a division has too much stuff to properly represent. We will be discussing regimental size forces from now on. Wargame best lends its numbers to a regiment/brigade because you have to make less compromises than with a division. In any case, the first thing you need to consider when building an authentic deck is the size of force you want to represent. The required BMD’s were not included in Eugen’s five year plan, so this is out of the question. Unfortunately now you cannot build an authentic VDV deck at all I am afraid. But worry not, the glorious Soviet party of the people decided to help you create your authentic soviet deck. However, searching information about 30 years old soviet organisation and proper equipment can be tiresome, and for the most part you might even need to learn Russian, which can be as difficult as understanding google translate. So, you are tired of endlessly spamming T-55A’s at your enemy? Assaulting helpless infantry with your BMPT’s after a TOS-1 buratino barrage? All seems to a little too easy for you? Perhaps you have reached a stage in commander development where you are no longer a cocoon of a true tactician and you actually want to play a “wargame”, comrade.
