Off Map Arty

[Schuck]

Ok i'm really struggling with this a bit.
I'm playing 'The Final Offensive' (as the Germans) and i can't seem to hide my assets anywhere on the map that's safe fro arty.
I put them in houses, in ditches, i've even dug trenches in dense woodland, but the Russian arty methodically goes around the map killing them one at a time.
And its so accurate and concentrated  it wipes out whole platoons at a time, even when i have them 'heads down'.
I've even tried to keep everyone on the move, but it follows them around the map!!!
I know the Russians liked concentrated arty, but i just have to sit through it for 30 minutes and then count the individuals left, if any!
Is it over done..... or was it really like this?
And how do you counter it?


And a side note, my men keep running through mine fields (not a good idea), but the Russians appear to have a sixth sense and skirt around them,
How do they know they are there?
