Re: Repair points
Something to keep in mind is that the Soviets don't rebuild units/formations the same was as western armies do. A Soviet Regiment goes until it's casualties reach 2/3's then it is withdrawn from battle and the survivors used as cadre to create a new Regiment. If you want your campaign to be historically accurate, after that 2/4rds is reached, the next battle will be against a Soviet "B" Echelon, assuming you started off against a GSF-G Formation. IIRC, there were a huge number of B Formations. When those ran out, there was the Soviet version of the national guard.
So You would start off against current MBT, BMP, and well armed infantry and the B echelon would have T-55/54's BTR's and a lower percentage of automatic weapns, less ATGM's more RPG's, etc. Then the reserves show up with T-34/85's, bolt action rifles and hand grenades. After those are gone, it's pitchforks and rocks (miscellaenous small arms, anyone?).
Russians DON'T throw weapons away. They have been down to pitchforks and rocks to many times in history to forget the basics. No ammo re-supply for Soviet forces.
