'Eastern Front' random events/change in orders -send reinforcements elsewhere

[Brett Nicholson]

I totally understand that Vince, especially with shared matches and that you very rarely play solitaire. I don't care too much for the 'Desert Rats' or 'Guadalcanal' random events but in 'Eastern Front', especially in the case of some of the heavily scripted scenarios where one side's chances of achieving their VCs is next to impossible the random events keep the outcome from being 100% predictable.

In this case the Soviets were/are just 3 enemy step losses away from eking out their VCs when they got this harsh change in orders after having a good foothold. But now, by the time those units have to exit there won't be be much of anything left to follow through with their counterattack. In this scenario (EF#31-"Head On"), so far, there have been no German victories recorded but this one event may make the difference as once these Soviet units leave in another 3 turns there will be only 4 steps of their foot units left. This scenario is far from over with 12 turns left to go and the Soviets do still have a few armored units and OBA left but now the odds are very much stacked against them now instead of being in their favor.
