/You can, and at the sametime you cannot.
i.e. You can set the initial states when units are built...
Forexample Germany Allied etc etc and 'other' nations (as a group')
So you could choose to take Russian mobilisation to the point of, say 
50% strength when raised...+/- 50%- i.e. anywhere between 0 and 100%so 
units appear at completely random effectiveness./

/Attrition penalties are universally applied, but the effect with a base 
value for the unit then still effectively varies, i.e.75% attrition on a 
10-8 is very different from 75% attrition on a 2-4

/The model gives them all the same treatment, but initial starting 
values can account for national traits in training etc.
I assume that the human condition being what it is, generally 
applicable, there was not a call for anything too esoteric or fine. I,E. 
A man who has run out of food lasts univesally only so long....as does 
one who's tank runs out of ammunition.

A rough and ready assumption, but involves less risk of personal 
prejudice creeping in. Initial training and equipppage can be dealt with 
more impartially./

/No treated as regular troops, the SS. despite the propaganda, were not 
the supermen they would have us accept, nor were guards units. and thus 
operate under the same MacNamarian rules of conflict in the game.

The system adopted puts a tunable 'spin' on the units, but tries to 
leave as much as possible undisturbed. The idea is a little adjustment 
to the system is fine,
provided the essential games lies beneath untouched. Too rich or 
dominatng a spin leads to the substance of the game losing its coherance 
as 'War in Europe'.

Thus you can tune this layer completely out of the game, if it does not 
meet with your approval, or disagree with the underlying assumptions.
