German units frequently and opportunistically spawn from the map-edge or out of the fog-of-war. Sometimes your whole force is meant to go all the way over to the other side of the map to help your ally sometimes it has to run all the way back.
You and your CPU ally are supposed to capture and hold two VPs, but those VPs change every few minutes. In fact, the Germans are so numerous-obviously outnumbering and outgunning you-and so spread out that you could never hold any territory on this map for long, let alone trap them. It borrows its theme from the Russian closure of the ring around the German Sixth Army at Kalach on the Don, west of Stalingrad in November 1942, yet there is no front line or pincer-point for you or your CPU ally. “Kalach Pincer” is still playable, but I have long found it tedious and nonsensical. Maybe it’s the genius devs’ response to the complaints about the nerfing of Germany in ToW. As a result, AI Germany’s favorite combo now is tanks plus panzergrens plus scout cars (by mid-game there will be at least several of those combos across the map at any one time). Their Panzer IVs and StuGs are now obviously superior even to vetted T-34s (which frequently miss even at point-blank range), and their panzergrens have overpowered AT rifles. The most noticeable problem is that the German units have been over-buffed. There is also a bug that makes unit symbols disappear, making it difficult to control or even see the affected units and a bug at the end that keeps the Germans from recapping the bridge point even if it is undefended. There is a bug affecting the dial-like symbols showing point captures, and a bug that can cause one of those stop/go motion issues (which continues after you reload a saved game).
