It's too bad HoI doesn't support sieges and long term battles very well. Otherwise Cassino might not have been such a cake walk.

Cassino was undefended when we took it, the screenshots show that too

Besides, Monte Cassino was never a true siege and each of the battles only lasted a few days to a couple of weeks at most

That's all true. But like I said, HoI 2 doesn't support "unexpected" resistance and battles never last more than a few hours. Their is no way to have a perpetually long siege like Leningrad or Stalingrad.

Sieges work just fine, encircle a province and don't attack it, attacks are to depict offensives into the besieged area.

As for extremely long battles like Stalingrad, I agree that the game doesn't handle it well because unit organization is just way too low and they lose a lot during combat. A few mods, like the TRP, fix this though, I've had some extremely long and bloody battles in TRP.
