Re: Assault Question
I'm not sure what "factorias" are, but T90s are _very_ expensive. A T90 is worth something like 400-500 points for just a single tank. Most infantry are worth maybe 30 points per unit. This means that (not counting the assault part for now) a single T90 is worth more than an entire rifle company. Also don't forget that experience (over 70) will increase the value of your units, so that 500 point T90 may be considered to be worth 600 points if it's veteran (Red forces are usually very poor experience wise, so they may even be worth less than the listed Encyclopedia value). Russian Airbourne companies are similar; the base Russian Airbourne Company (sans transports) is worth between 700-2100 points, depending on unit selections. The most expensive Red standard Rifle company I can get is something like 350 points... so again, a single Russian Airbourne company is worth between 2 and 6(!) Red Rifle companies.
This brings up the other half; because your units are so much more expensive compared to the Red side, every unit you lose is worth a lot more points, and counts more heavily against you in the final accounting. Heck, if they managed to take out your T90 (assuming you only had 1), they just managed to take out between a 20%-33% of your entire force! Similarly, you have to kill at least 2 of their men for every one of yours that you lose just to get a draw. That's the downside of playing with "elite" forces against conscript-style armies; you tend to get swarmed under by cheap units, that oftentimes you can't shoot fast enough to kill them all.
