<t> Historically the Germans thought eliminating the Soviet Army would lead to a Soviet collapse. Turns out that was not the case back then despite severe losses by the Soviets and that same strategy will not work to any real affect in WiTE. Despite yout efforts to encircle and eliminate (not rout ...

<r> I need help with SU assignment. I have read all the threads and looked through the manual but still am having some issues. When I go to manually assign SUs to my combat units, the menu that pops up after I select assign in the unit detail window shows available SUs to assign. I am trying to ...

Need a Soviet opponent for the CG 41 scenario.

Thank you for your comments.

<t> Hey folks i was wondering if this game was worth getting? I have Gary Grigsby's war in th east and it is a great game so i was thinking of getting this one if it has as much depth as Gary's other games. Anyone have any thoughts? Also this forum seems a bit on the lite side for this game ...

Started the game late Jan Feb timeframe. So should the plan be to attack or prepare defenses?

Good question, should have included it before.. its PBEM

<t> I need some advice on how to break strong soviet lines. It is almost the end of the 41 winter and the front has stabilized. What has developed is more akin to WWI lines. I have been looking for weak spots but the best I can find is a clear section of lvl 4forts and stacked 3 units to a hex ...

I am interested in a game. I play mostly Axis but am up for a Soviet round. I can do 1 turn + a day more on weekends so I can meet your 1 turn a day.

<t> I guess i have to ask before I could comment on which approach i think is better, what are you trying to achieve with your defensive line? Do you anticipate holding until the Soviets break through and then fall back to a secondary line, or are you looking at trading space for time? The reason I ...

<t> Historically the Germans tried to encircle and eliminate as many Soviet formations as possible. They believed that by destroying the Soviet Army at the operational level, the Soviet Union would crumble at the National level. Turned out that was not the case and the Soviet Army could not be ...

<t> MilRevKo brings up an interesting question. Almost every piece of literature out there agrees Germany's operational level goals were not in line with National and Strategic objectives. Therefore the main idea of encircle and kill/capture the Soviet Army as far West as possible did not lead the ...

<t> I dont know about these opitions. Everytime I play a human oppponent who does not fall back, the fighting in the South turns bloody quickly. I was contemplting pulling all armored units from AGS and chop then to AGC. I would assign the inf units recvd in the first few turns to make up some of ...

<t> Was wondering if anyone has tips for the Ger side during the first winter. Specifically looking for:<br/>
1) Best disposition of forces after intiital June 41 push and before winter sets in.<br/>
-- I pushed to just East of Smolensk (in AGC AOR), Dnieper line in the South, and around Lake ...

<t> Well thank you to all who posted comments and gave me some great advice. After reading the posts, some AARs and playing some test scenarios using Smolensk 10 yurn game I finally got the hang of encircling. To help those who are still finding it difficult here are the key take aways I found:<br ...

<t> I will give that a shot. What I had been doing to date (unsuccessfully) is to:<br/>
<br/>
Turn 1 (in this order):<br/>
- Create a breakthrough in the defense line wiht Inf.<br/>
- move manuever units thruough the gap and into position behind the soviet forces.<br/>
- use the rest of the Inf ...

<t> I was wondering if someone could provide some tips on succesfully encircleing Soviet Forces?<br/>
<br/>
It may be a hold over from my days playing the panzer campaign series but i have tried numerous times to form pockets to eliminate Soviet units with all the tactics I know to use (using ZOC ...
