The Soviet army is unusual, in the mod.

The Soviets were fighting in difficult circumstances, in WW2. In the mod, having the Red Banner Streletsky, is perhaps not of any importance for me. The units do not retreat, and having such units get annihilated in certain situations, is bad. On the other hand, if there is the Soviet equivalent of the outpost, then they can get reinforcements. It is better to have the assault engineer. The sniper is even more important. They break the morale of the enemy easily. I have had snipers, and anti-tank teams, having about twenty (in the least) kills each.

What do you mean "do not retreat"? Sounds like you're playing 1.0. Are you sure you have the most recent version?

Sounds like you don't have the latest version of Eastern Front. Might want to look into updating.

yep definitely 1.0
