As I recall, the land combat was all in Germany. But if you had the best part of a weekend to spare, you could combine the Red Storm Rising board game with the Hunt for Red October board game, and fight WWIII, from Pensacola, to Severomorsk.

What a propagandist!! You can’t even spell the name of the town whose battle you claim was faked. Pavlivka.
the Russian chain of command does not stop troops from writing or calling home.
PS they are not enlisted (professional contract troops) - they are conscripts - draftees.
Please use the correct terms in any further Russian propaganda you spew.
The Ukranian government is destroying the Russian military on the field of battle.

Wrong. The people of Ukraine are destroying the Russian military on the field of battle.
The government would like nothing better than to surrender, but that would be suicide.
Any money allocated to buying shovels would be quickly embezzled by Russian officers, who live for the perks generated by theft.
The current commanding general has twice been caught selling weapons and was implicated in the “suicide” of a whistle blower he argued with.
What ever

Pass - living 4km from the shadow of the real thing was enough for me.
None of this happened. Go find a Russian speaker to translate the letter. It was clearly not created by native Russian speakers.
As for conscripts, Russia has mandatory 1 year service requirements of males of . . . an age range you will find in the wiki. They have had this conscription process in place for many years.
Conscripts are not allowed, by Russian law, to serve outside Russia. In early March, some BTGs enroute Kiev were found to have conscripts in them. They were sent home. It was an error.
The 300K partial mobilization is explained in the Russian speeches if you will just take the time to read them, rather than some British newspaper telling you what they want you to hear. The 300K mobilization are Reserves. Some of them are former conscripts who completed their service and were then placed in the inactive reserves (as the US does with former military, for a period of time). The total reserves of Russia numbers in the millions because of this somewhat normal procedure. So 300K is partial, a portion of the total of millions.
Latest word is about 80K of the 300K have been deployed to administrative duties in the Donbas, freeing up longer term enlisted troops (US enlisted are contract troops) for duty near the combat areas.
Note, carefully, this is an artillery war. There is very very little face to face, hand to hand stuff going on. Killing is done miles away. Even satellites can’t count casualties because when the satellite has passed over and is below the horizon, the figure it saw on the ground may get up and walk away.
Casualty estimates are via Artillery Effectiveness Models. This is software using extensive databases of past measurements of casualties created from the use of the weapon. The Russian databases are huge. Their estimates are not bad.
Ukraine is shooting artillery it had not even seen a year ago. They have no AEMs. They have no idea what killing they can do, if any. The Russians have been withdrawing before battles start when satellite imagery tells them they do not have overwhelming advantage. So in general Ukraine casualty estimates have no basis at all.
The printed word escapes most of them. 
Go find a Russian speaker to translate the letter.
