Re: Belgian campaign
The Brusilov offensive scenario (West of Tarnopol) is ready for testing. To be decided is: - Include a scenario abouth the actions in the Carpathians near Bucac (where the armoured corps was sent next)? I have somewhat less information on that action against the Germans where the corps supported 2 S...

Re: Testing the upcoming Belgian campaign
Will the battle become too easy if I correct my mistake at Halen and make the core infantries behave as protos? I don't think so. 396 is a small amount of prestige.
