<t> Not sure if this is a problem of mine, a Slitherine issue, or a game issue.<br/>
<br/>
I can play just fine. I can accept games via Slitherine that someone else has set up. My games in progress run along perfectly.<br/>
<br/>
I cannot, however, play games that I have posted a challenge for ...

This is an interesting discussion. I am finding that playing as the German against a human, the question of "what to do in 1942," and the operations of 1942 are quite fun; much more so than the desperate dash in 1941 and the doom that hangs in the air in 1943.

I am quite pleased with WitE. In addition, I prefer NATO symbology....the little tanks, etc, all seem silly to me.

<t> Hi guys:<br/>
<br/>
Just wondering, was it Von Bock who argued that once it was clear that Russia would not be knocked out in 1941 the Germans should withdraw to defensable positions to wait out the winter?<br/>
<br/>
My question, has anyone tried this? In other words, once snow hits, anyone ...

<t> Although new with WitE, here are my observations about the "new" winter effects on the Germans in 1941\42.<br/>
<br/>
1) Does the winter stop the German offensive? Yes.<br/>
<br/>
2) Can the Soviets engage in an offensive during the winter? Yes.<br/>
<br/>
3) Does the Wehrmacht dissolve ...

<t> There were places to retreat, but the map did get rather full. I tried to disband units near the end, but many of them had no option to disband. I was thinking it was just all the destroyed units popping back up. It was a mass of units, all right--they seemed to flower all over the place during ...

<t> I have seen some screen shots that show the small towns being named. I have checked the manual (made the big mistake of saving a few bucks with the digital download and not having a paper manual) and I cannot find how one toggles town names on--the small towns, the black dots.<br/>
<br/>
Any ...

<t> Well, been getting my head handed to me by some really great players.<br/>
<br/>
Good news is, nothing teaches better than failure.<br/>
<br/>
As I have said before, great game.<br/>
<br/>
As some have said, go after the Red Army, kill it, spatter it, destroy it....terrain means nothing ...

<t> I think I played AH Russian Campaign once or twice. I got SPS's "War in the East" soon as it published. <br/>
<br/>
A actually broke my teeth with SPI wargames in High School with the old "Barbarossa." I think I played that one more than any other game (ugly map and all).....I still, however ...

<t> I am new to War in the East and I have this to say about the game---I love it!<br/>
<br/>
I played the old SPI games in the 1970s through early 80s when they went belly up. Fell out of wargaming till the 1990s when I tried a few of the then new computer wargames. Did not hook me. Played the ...

Noob Question:

While I understand how to create the forts, how does one create entrenchments? Does this happen automatically?

Thanks ahead of time!
