Count me as a lurker too. I check this thread everyday to follow developments.

Is the Finnish Army contributing anything to the conflict? I see some of their units for the first time in your recent updates.

<t> I love the strategic overview and operational viewpoints for each turn. This is extremely well set up and easy to follow.<br/>
As for your railroad engineers, just a few comments:<br/>
* The rules mention "Rail Repair Equipment" for repairing rail lines. Maybe these need to be resupplied so ...

<t> First full game complete as Axis (third try as I made so many mistakes the first two tries I got beat early).<br/>

Whew! You are back. This game is high on my list for next to be purchased and I am following your AAR to determine whether on not I will buy it...no pressure!

Thank you for doing this AAR. I have had a few aborted attempts at playing, as I learn the system. I am hoping to gain some insight on strategies, tactics, and gameplay.

I love this AAR and can't wait to read more of it. I tend to play aggressively on both sides. With the Allies I could rebound quicker from not so pleasant results. The Axis were a bit trickier as every unit is important.
