Senno, I think PDH was being satiric [:D] He gave an excellent tip (I can't remember where): he fears a carpet if the first line is composed of 2 or 3 units-stacks. As opposed to a huge carpet (let's say a depth of five hexes ...

PDH's thoughts for the Soviets:<br/>
<br/>
1) Never build corps, ever. Especially when playing me.<br/>
<br/>
2) Carpet defenses suck. Stick to a single linear defense. Especially when playing me.<br/>
<br/>
3) Disband all your ...

<t> Thank you, Klydon.<br/>

I'm undecided what to do with the winter turns. I will probably launch local attacks along the line, and seek openings to create small pockets. He's thickened up the approaches to Moscow enough that I don't think an attack would be successful. <br/>

I'm sure you've thought of all of this anyway, but in my experience, giving him three clear hexes per turn of blizzard to advance into will take the sting off the worst of it (after December, blizzard effects ease off a little). I dug a ...

I've got to keep some pressure on down in AGS so Oleg doesn't strip even more reserves and put them on the Moscow approaches. So, First Panzer and Seventeenth Army combine to break through and head south towards Apostolovo. Depending on how he reacts, next ...

The Prip pocket is finally reducted completely. The last 2 units lasted from turn 8 or so until now, both falling to hasty attacks. I'm not sure how many I trapped in there, lol, about 20 or so I suppose. Oleg never attacked with his surrounded ...

He's committed the airborne units into the line, which is a good thing from my point of view. His manpower must be getting low at ...

Elements of Second and Third Panzer for a smaller pocket south-east of Rzhev. We have cut the distance to Moscow in half again, but am running out of time before the mud hits. The Panzers remain in good to excellent shape, so a winter offensive is possible ...

Third Panzer and elements of Fourth Panzer tighen up the Mezha River Pocket. Not a ton of units in there, but it's decent compared to the pockets I've been able to form. Reducing it will also take some pressure off the rail line that's closing in on Vzyama ...
