<r> Thank you to everyone who is following along/posting comments. And thanks especially to my opponent, colberki, who is potentially about to give the Germans a run for their money this winter!<br/>

I am trying to figure out the partisan system (partisans weren't much of a threat in my AI ...

Hello c00per, thank you for the offer, but another opponent reached out privately just before. I would be happy to play you in the future.

Hello,

I searched the forum and didn't see the answer (although I may be a numbskull). Is there a way for the German player to see how many ARM/other industry losses the Soviet has suffered, other than manually counting each turn before taking cities?

I am looking for a Soviet opponent for a grand campaign with bitter end scoring. I have played one game as Germans vs. AI to completion, and am on turn 15 of my first player v. player match (also playing as German.)

Update: Opponent has been found and game request is now closed.

<r> Combat Losses Turn 13:<br/>
<br/>
Air Losses: Axis 1148, Soviet 7095. One item I'm concered about is that I've lost 706 level bombers, most in air combat. I've been mostly using the AI to attack and it seems that for reasons I haven't figured out yet bombers often go on missions without ...

<r> Turn 13:<br/>
<br/>
In the north, each hex aside from Leningrad proper falls, and even though the Finns can't attack this turn I send them through to help garrison the city and man the Volkhov river line. I want to move the 18th Army south to help set up defensive positions for the winter. I ...

<r> Turn 12:<br/>
<br/>
In AGN, a deliberate attack with heavy bombing and six infantry units with many pioneers and nebelwerfers attached succeeds in an attack into the Leningrad backdoor. Several panzer divisions exploit, and take the Osinovets port, although they are not able to take it ...

<r> Turn 11:<br/>
<br/>
In AGN, I meet my goal of taking the hex west of Schlisselburg, and get close to the ports with the motorized divisions. I am considering trying to cross the Volkov and taking that last eastern Ladoga port, even though I know the terrain is swampy and requires crossing a ...

<r> T10:<br/>
<br/>
AGN: Fantastic movement near Leningrad. My objective this turn was the key Shlisselburg hex which separates Leningrad from the other Soviet forces. My twin objectives next turn are to take the hex to the east of Shlisselburg, which will allow me to make a deliberate assault on ...

<r> Turn 9:<br/>
<br/>
In AGN, only one row of hexes is taken, but 8 areas are assaulted, 7 successfully. Slow going but Leningrad should be cut off in a few turns.<br/>
<br/>
In AGC, a heavy push toward Moscow. I thought a lot before making the decision to grind straight forward. South looked ...

<r> Turn 8:<br/>
<br/>
AGN makes a good advance toward Leningrad, pocketing three weak unit; 2 more were in the pocket but I accidentally routed them out.<br/>
<br/>
Very little fighting in AGC, the Soviets have pulled back to their main Moscow/Kursk/Kharkov line and the Germans advance. The ...

<t> I've been following this AAR for the last several months and am especially studying the thought process behind snow/blizzard tactics, and the Rostov breakout. My understanding is sillyflower is an aging lawyer and current WITE superstar at the height of his fame, while I am a young aspiring ...

<r> Turn 7: Rest and Regroup<br/>
<br/>
In the north, solid progress is made through the line. I shifted some forces from near Novgorod to the east breach. Both OKH and STAVKA seem to have made strategic decisions not to heavily commit to the Leningrad theater.<br/>
<br/>
In the center, I pull ...

<r> Rainman, I wasn't expecting to be able to make it that far. I was originally planning just to establish a beachhead, but found out after the initial attacks that I still had panzers remaining.<br/>
<br/>
I think several factors contributed to the breakthrough- the FBD from Rumania has been ...

<r> Turn 6: A grind, an advance, and a breakthrough<br/>
<br/>
Not much action in the north, the Soviets begin to grind through the massed ranks of Soviets. I don't have a lot of infantry here- I chose to send most of my infantry toward Moscow. Is this a good strategy or will it bite me later?<br ...

<t> Bad news for STAVKA coming next turn (6) in the South. Major props to my opponent for soldiering on after a tough early start. I think there is time to even out, and with us just starting with PBEM games, either of us could still make a huge mistake (relative to each other's skill levels, I am ...

<r> Turn 5:<br/>
<br/>
On turn 4, the Finns were having a lutefisk celebration and forgot to move, but this turn they advance to the Lake Janis line.<br/>
<br/>
In the north, I opt against the right hook around Lake Ilmen because I haven't devoted a lot of resources to Army Group North and I am ...

<r> Turn 4 (We are on turn 5 in the actual game.)<br/>
<br/>
In the north, the panzers are low on gas so approach the Luga line cautiously. I am deciding whether to go straight for Leningrad or try the right hook around lake Ilmen. The lake crossing doesn't seem too heavily defended, but it will ...
