The 1-12 list has some stereotypes and could use some revision. Any suggestions or objections?

For example, the WWII portions give off a feel that the Soviets won mainly by having enough men to push in front of German guns. The reality was that the numerical advantage was whittled away in the First and Second Periods of War (1941-1943). By 1944 there was a manpower shortage on the Soviet side; many units were understrength and superiority in force ratios was rather done in specific sectors of main effort and the use of maskirovka. Even then the Soviets developed their tactics to a more sophisticated form to preserve manpower using various forms of maneuver, surprise and use of fire strikes.
