this thread reminded me of my cruel tactic when i tried to play a long campaign as russians (i think i had a core force of around 2 battalions) before i started my german campaign. i would buy a conscript company or 2 during the finish phase of war(very cheap) on any delay/defense mission then would spread them on the most forward positions with a bit of my core armor covering them. when the finish infantry charged me i delayed them a bit with those forward units, they would usually amass and then i withdraw the armor and cover the whole position with those nasty russian 200mm+ guns. the conscripts go to paradise while taking lots of finish troops this way.

in my german campaign i don't use this method since i don't possess such amount of artillery :<
