The rules are a bit confusing. Di the river crossing penalties only apply to attackers when they are Assaulting in their first attack? Or does it also apply equally to the defenders when they attack when the status changes to Battle in the same territory?

@elque I actually think this is one of the more sane recommendations I’ve read that actually appreciates how delicate the balance in the game is (as in, the presence of just 1-2 more German units in the starting position, or good dice swings during the first 1-2 turns can easily turn the game into a one-sided stomp for Germany if they play properly).

That being said, I strongly believe that the optional rules on Pg. 28 are all important for helping to tune the game based on players’ familiarity levels (as Germany is the much more difficult/counterintuitive side to play by a ridiculous margin). Sadly, these rules have unfortunately gone overlooked by basically everyone I’ve seen comment on the game beyond a surface level. Specifically, I’m talking about:

Bidding - Which functions identically to bidding for league/convention play and is baked into the game rules. It’s literally the easiest way for players who can’t win with Germany to get to a more comfortable starting position.

Alternate Factory Placement - Which lets each side select where one of the factories go. This will make taking down one of the factories more difficult, but Germany being able to force a factory into a position where it is very easily occupied/disabled goes a long way towards neutering USSR’s ability to defend the city properly (although IMO it’s too strong for Germany).

Race to Stalingrad Alternative Deployment - Which on-paper lets both sides fine-tune their initial deployments. However, this helps Germany much more than it helps the USSR as USSR can only rearrange their position within the city, which isn’t as helpful as Germany being able to rearrange their entire position and do it in direct response to whatever USSR did.

Playing without all the optional rules cards, since almost all of these benefit the USSR exclusively and the ones that don’t are either not very helpful for Germany (Luftwaffe priorities) or benefit the USSR much more than the Germans (intercepts and interdiction).
