<t> If the next turn is mud, the German offensive (and with that the war) is over. Th eastern pincer seems burned out, and by the time the mud clears out, there will be a solid line of infantry corps in front of the western pincer. <br/>

He also has to solve the southern problem, as the last ...

If the german gambit to encircle a Soviet front here fails I think its game over though....as you can see the German army is quickly weakening from the casualties it suffered from the all winter long offensive. Almost all of his infantry is base 5 ...

<t> I'm still completely mystified by the German strategy: it is a real pity he is not running an AAR as well on this game.<br/>

- I count about 25 mobile German divisions being happily parked in the Salient to Nowhere. As there is no railroad bridge at Ryazan the supply situation is simply ...

IDK to me looks like a panzer drive to nowhere, alot of wasted effort...as he needs a prong to hook up with. As well he has no rail line in the advance and its winter....its a doomed wasted effort I think.

Given that all of the ...

<t> I understand why you keep hitting those Tank and Cavalry Corps: the loss ratios are good and the Russian tank reserves have got to run out some time.<br/>
<br/>
But why are you also hitting those Rifle and Guard Corps: even when you win your casualties are higher than the Russians, and it ...

Why is the Coastal Army fighting Army Group North in Budapest (of all places)?

<t> And now comes the great strategic decision for Stalin:<br/>
- launch an offensive in the south to exploit the German disarray and link up with the Crimea, or<br/>
- withdraw all Tank, Cavalry and Infantry corps to the strategic reserve, straighten the line and await developments<br/>

<t> Even if the would-be rescuers are enough to rescue the spearhead (which I doubt), it will largely halt his summer offensive as he has to spend at least a month to extricate his forces. <br/>

More probably, he will lose both momentum and spearhead, and together with the Great Eastern ...
