Thanks Perry. Tried it this way and won pretty easily as the Russians, those 
fortified building locations make it pretty difficult for the germans IMHO. In 
fact, taking the two balances together I would say that the fortification bonus 
for the Russians is a bigger help than the reinforcement restriction the German 
player receives as balance. While I can see that in some cases the German 
balance could severely restrict Russian reinforcements, in other cases (my game 
for example) it didn't make a huge difference in that I was able to get a 
commissar and a few squads into the HQ by turn 4, the rest following in Turn 6. 
In other words, you can rely on the fortifications whereas the reinforcement 
restrictions are luck dependent and can vary from no effect to no 
reinforcements.
Great scenario though. I think next time I play it I will try it straight up 
with no balances.
