I have formulated these rules myself.
However - Russian military capability seems to have been much overestimated, and this after about a decade of building the armed forces up.
I wonder how crappy they would have been in the 1980s...
Built many (conventional) scenarios set in 1985 but having some serious doubts about their logistical abilities now..., seems like it's no rail road, no Russian advance...

I actually believe that in 1985 they were orders of magnitude stronger. Not just in numbers and relative quality of equipment, but also in allies and in strategic resources.
