<t> I think Balck is wasted as commander of the 18 Corps... It's better to make him commander of the X Corps or another one of the 16th Army in which you can put all the support units you can find there. The good commanders are better in my opinion when they command the divisions directly.<br/>
<br ...

<t> You don't need to take the panzer division used to take Riga away from Pskov... just need to be patient.<br/>
The weakest motorized division available in the north should have been sent to take Ventspils,so no Soviet divisions can route away instead of surrender. Then in the second turn clear ...

<t> In my opinion not capture Riga on turn 1 is a big mistake... If you capture Riga on turn 1 you can make a much stronger and continuous line across the Daugava river, and the encircled units can not escape, even the tank units.<br/>
And it's not that hard to do... just use a panzer division ...

Thank you very much! I never thought you could post in this thread...
I will try soon. In the long years of alpha testing I never had these problems to take Leningrad. I was an experienced line-breaker (I used to destroy 2 fort 2 lines every turn) and I never experienced this hell.

<t> I finally got the fort 2 hex into a fort 1 hex... Maybe in the next turn I will be able to get across it...<br/>
<br/>
I couldn't turn the mobile divisions against Moscow unfortunately. My opponent put everything and more to defend Leningrad, and only in turn 13 I got the encirclement, using ...

<r> Hi!<br/>
I’m in difficulty… I’m at the gates of Leningrad since last turn (13), and I don’t know what am I doing wrong… so far I bombed twice the hex that leads to Osinovets (the fort 2 hex), I put my best divisions to attack… do you have any suggestion to take this city? I’m running out of ...

If you want to survive as German forget all the house rules except no paratroops and no seaborne action... An experienced Soviet player can survive the extended Lvov pocket and the 5406 destroyed planes at the beginning in my opinion.

<r> Grrr... You are giving away my dark secrets!<br/>
<br/>
Anyway it's a good result to destroy 5000+ planes in the first turn... I destroyed with 1.08.08 about 5400 planes on the ground.<br/>

Capitaine, my entire point here is that present game mechanics do not allow the Soviets to do what they did historically. <br/>

It is absurd to expect the Soviets to hold on to historical objectives with a system that produces ...

In my current pbem game my Soviet opponent is doing a slow and masterful retreat in the south while he reinforced Leningrad with everything possible. He is using unit zoc to avoid every kind of encirclement and if I ...

You will have at least one reader [:)]
I await your screenshots, it will be interesting...

It will be a nice feature... At the moment the Soviet are too well organized from the beginning...
There was something similar in the old War in Russia... It was a great game!

<t> Let me know some numbers... How many planes do you destroy in WitE2 in turn 1? More or less than 5400?<br/>
And what happens with the encirclements in south?<br/>

And the most important thing... How to become a playtester? I was a WitE alpha tester between 2008 and 2010 and I was ...

<t> Hi Randy!<br/>
About the planes destroyed in the first turn, it's possible to reach 5400 planes without ground support and without overrun airfields [;)]<br/>
<br/>
Question 1... I don't think there will be problems to upgrade during turn 2 or later<br/>
<br/>
Questions 2 and 3 I don't know ...

<r> I don't agree that 1.08.08 is pro-German, I think the Soviets are able to make a high cv defensive line and also counterattack in summer 41.<br/>
See the cv of Soviet units in turn 5 in this screenshot, and let me know...<br/>
