This one got the whole table singing the soviet national anthem- worst and best dice rolls.
Germany is hounding Russia hard and gets to the gates of moscow with 17 tanks, 5 inf and 2 mech inf (Germanys big stack of planes are one space behind landed in friendly territory). Russia has 15 inf, a fighter and 2 art. Russia is looking like it will fall next German turn. Rather than deal with the planes Russia decides to go on the offensive and attacks the stack of tanks. Russia rolls 14 hits first round (ironically, the plane missed) :-o while Germany only gets 5. The odds for either one are bad. Together it was unbelievable. Odds evened out after the first round, but it didn’t matter by that point. Germany was screwed.

Potential major House rule- need help identifying potential balance issues
So in order to bring in an extra level of strategy (as well as speed up the game a bit) my freinds and I are contemplating a major house rule- Everyone takes their turns at the same time. But not vocally. Sure people can say, talk, feint all they want. But officially everyone wrights their turns down on paper (X tanks move in to attack _____, etc). We are thinking this could be beneficial by A) It becomes even more crucial to predict your opponents moves as that potentially weak spot might get reinforced, etc. and B) Less waiting to do anything.
And France might actually get to do something (sarcasm).
Do you A&A global guru’s see any major unbalancing issues this could cause?
