On a prior thread an allegation was made that some maps are biased to a specific side. As a recorder of map statistics, capturing the winning side and if reinforcements ran out was a simple addition.
Well it's true! Some maps are biased. See article below and more stats are on TWB forum.

The allegation that some maps are skewed towards a particular side is true. Two maps show many German victories in the sample collected, Kurland Kessel and Smolenks Stalemate. Kurland has the Germans on defense with Russians trying to overcome the Front Line, infantry only, winter setting. Defense wins 81% of the time. Smolensk has Germans on attack. The last objective is fairly simple if a commander puts arty just right (German perspective) of the main building and Germans can coax enough troops to camp in the cap zone in the destroyed buildings.
Russians dominate Lyeskrovy and Tcherkassy. Lyeskrovy has the Germans on defense in a trench with Russian infantry attack in fall. This is surprising with assumption that Germans on defense would have advantage. This is not the case. Tcherkassy is the winter infantry map where the Russian commander can put arty close to spawn preventing German reinforcement into cap and can also smoke the main HQ building preventing the sniper and MG from being effective. Russian's win Lyeskrovy 85% of the time and Tcherkassy 91%.
So, if you want a challenge when you play these maps, choose the losing side and see if you make a difference!
