On a G1 Germany doesn’t have enough units on border to hold until round 2 or 3 so trading them is pretty much a guarantee every time I believe.
I reset the battle and removed say half the tanks and replaced each with two inf each. This was also a very tight battle but went in Germany favor this time with maybe two tanks left give or take.
That reset taught me the value of German infantry as I always want to buy tanks and bombers when going for Moscow.
Game I’m playing now, Germany did Sea Lion so Russia burst forward and has been collecting $21 in NO’s for a few turns. Germany takes border territories of Berlin but Russia takes them right back and since each battle has a couple SB’s Russia is retaking them with at least 3 infantry.
The taking of territories with extra units left behind like that really alters the war of attrition in Russia’s favor quite a bit.
Germany just did a surprise strike on Leningrad and also took out 3 SB’s. Italy finally in the Balkans so Russia will get kicked out probably by R8.
I’m about to film R6 for my latest strategy series
