I have played all the snow board scenarios in FOTB and they certainly are unbalanced, but with just a tweak or two they can be surprising well balanced. I can't remember which one now, but instead of the Soviets going first give that to the Germans and the whole game is different. It becomes a headache scenario, by which I mean you really have to think things through to win.Come on Ray help me with this, you know the scenario as you suggested the tweak.
The scenario with all boards in a line is a Soviet win every time, until you make the game one turn shorter, this means the Soviets cannot just sit out of range and pound the Germans to death, they have to move closer and they get shot at, otherwise they don't get to the objective in time.
I was so happy to get the FOTB expansion with the snow boards and special winter rules, but two things have marred this slightly, one the unbalanced scenarios, but this has been fixed by us and secondly where are the Stug 3's?
It still is an excellent game and certainly my favourite board game.
