Ran out of guys…hmmm. Sounds like a perfectly plausible reason…lol. I would have have said that I had a secret plan and all will be revealed during play. That way, if something cool happened, I’d say “See, that’s why I had it set up this way”.

That is the best reason ever to limit unit size. Ha

I found building an army out of doing what Andrew said but also I like to look at personalizing some of the men to add characters. I’ll put a thread into the WW2 forum with some images to show what I mean if anyone is interested message me.

Running out of men has never been excuse uttered by a Russian commander ever.

Working on a Soviet army at the moment. I usually take only 1 extra body for my commanders in other forces, but with the Soviets I take 3 and forego the -1 hit mod for the meatshield.

Real fun is whole squads of SMG tank riders in body armor. Or engineers in body armor. Both are only killed on a 6+

Iosef Stalin is credited with the saying that ‘Quantity has a quality of its own.’ Ran out of men… for the shame of it. 🙂
Somehow I suspect there is a bit of the old maskirovka going on here. I like the horde of tanks – they out to be good at knocking down Stompy Robots from Mars.
