Long time player and tournament winner. I play USA, Germans, Soviets.
IMHO the Soviets are not overpowered. They have a few unique units but so does everybody else.
Most folks lose track of the game is designed as an infantry game. Tanks are expensive and vulnerable.
Buy cheap vehicles.
For a British player there are so many cool armoured cars!
Lanchester 6×4 2mmgs for 80 pts
Daimler Armoured car for 115, cheaper then his Ba6 and an equal match except for a lmg
Just to name a few.
Snipers to get rid of his dog teams, at teams and such. That is the perfect job for them. 1 shot 1 kill 1 lost die. I see most people use the snipers incorrectly by shooting at big squads to take out the lmgs, IMHO. Shoot to get rid of a die. Heck the sniper can kill the Katyusha.
Don’t forget the 25 pounder what a good gun for 55 pts and the overlooked 40mm Bofors another great gun for 60 pts and you can put it on a truck for the same cost. 2 shots at 72 inches +3pen it’s very hard to hide from that.
British light tanks are great also.
A9 cruiser, light AT, 3 mmgs fully enclosed for 125 pts. Just an example.
Also don’t overlook the Bren carrier, add a another lmg for a total 70 pts. Put your free observer in it after he calls in the arty strike and you got an 8 shot gun wagon driving around.
This is just my opinion but Soviets overpowered not really.
