<t> In my last pbem (started with 1.05b) I needed to bomb Sewastopol to zero to reduce the supply flowing into this city, as my opponent had sent all his fighters south to contest the sea supply line. My observation was that Sewastopol by no means repaired fully, only from zero to about 350/1000. Th...

<t> As I'm not familiar with this scenario just a few general tipps:<br/> <br/> I see you used a panzer regiment to attack an urban hex. Not ideal, as tanks get their attack value halved doing this. Use them - and risk them taking casualties - on open terrain only if the situation allows it, as they...

<t> Does the high command card "Take Saratov" have other effects for the Axis player than just getting another - probably major - prestige objective?<br/> <br/> The card - according to its ingame text - has to be played before taking either Voronezh, Millerowo or Rostov. This might imply some sort o...

<t> I'm sorry I had to put my AARs on hold, but as long as I don't see other AARs pop up or get updated I'm not extremely motivated to be the only guy doing so.

<t> Back to topic:<br/> <br/> I struggled and had to play several more time cards because Bonners threw all his fighter force to defend the sky over the Crimea.

<t> As for holding Kerch:<br/> <br/> The soviet player won't be able to hold on to it forever of course , but if he choses to fight from the beginning (ground and keeping up fighter cover) and doesn't run away and evacuate early then Axis really has a deadline problem there, even if Kerch port is bo...

<t> My new AAR is lagging behind, I hope to to catch up in january and document what went on.<br/> <br/> Short version: Bonners (SU) moved down most if not all his fighers within reach of Kerch, after turn 4 I had 5 JG down there too. I had to bomb Sewastopol closed because his fighters - despite my...

<t> I'll have to bite the bullet, don't want to risk losing 6 prestige this early in the game, so in absence of a competent answer here I'll request more time. There go 44 political points earmarked for LB replacements...<br/> <br/> By the way if Kerch is impossible to clear by the historical date a...

<t> When I'm ordered to seize an objective by a certain date (say june 3rd), is grabbing it on this turn and holding it at start of the next turn (june 5th) enough to get higher prestige instead of a prestige penalty, or would I have to hold this location already at start of said turn (june 3rd in m...
