`  == Gradenko ==  Why do you think Gradenko is a competent leader?  I've played the Soviet campaign, so I've seen his track record: in the Mission 1 intro, he tries to hide his failure to kill all civilians in an unnamed village with poison gas by blaming the discrepancy in numbers on ``inaccurate intelligence`` (even though it was his number that was ``approximate``); then in the Mission 3 intro, it's revealed that he had failed to prevent the Allies from destroying the ``Sevrinsk`` chemical plant (of which he's not even aware, as shown by his affirmative reply to Stalin's question re. the security arrangements at chemical facilities), and allowed Einstein to escape.  Hardly a ``competent`` leader!   `
