Frankly I have used a spreadsheet only once for WitE 1, to track the OOB during my first GC. Maybe it comes as a surprise but I don't use them usually. Any tool needs to have a direct impact on my play and spreadsheets don't meet this ...

<t> Hey that's me. Maybe a bit naive but it was my first attempt at anything Soviet. Still I do feel the objective in the winter for Soviets is the longest line possible to keep panzers in the theatre, even if you lose Moscow. The counterattack might be impossible, particularly in this situation ...

That also looks like an oil/resource shortage is possible based on those numbers. That would be interesting to see.

Really like the graphics will add a lot to the top-level reporting.

<t> I just checked because that is weird, but then i realized a whopping 9000 additional planes were lost on the ground in the 8MP, which really put that number into perspective. I guess the small difference is a matter of you lose the planes either way, its just a question of whether they do ...

On a different note .. This game is a Bitter End game. Parity is not 1:1<br/>
<br/>
For every 5 planes shot down the Soviets get 100 points the Germans 25 points.<br/>
1000 men 100 guns 10 AFV's so parity is 4:1 if you consider points ...

First things first - I think the stuff Telemecus is doing here is really exceptional in terms of the dedication shown to really get into the nuts and bolts of what is a pretty ...

<t> Oh I wasn't saying it shouldn't be linear (although linear wasn't the correct word). From a gaming point of view linear and consistent would be a far better and easier abstraction. I think I misunderstood your point about the zig zagging. I assumed you meant that they were using more fuel once ...

<t> Although if that were the case the longer the journey the radius the less difference there should be between the mile radius and the 10 miles per hex ratio. Assuming if you're travelling 80 miles to a battle you still spend roughly the same number of miles on sorties as if you were travelling 10 ...

I think this one goes straight to the library of WITE resources.

Edit: I was talking about pocket hub, i mean the strategy can go too obviously, but I think pocket hub is a victory that cannot be forgotten.

<r> Thanks Ewald. I've tried my hand at Soviets a few times. I don't know if I have the ability to maintain that level of attention to detail with so many units and such a messy OOB. I had one win on the Leningrad scenario (I think my opponent was a bit new), and otherwise my performance has been ...

Best news I've heard all week.

That i'm telemecus? Anyway cool, I'm happy to stop this disconnected back and forth.

Okey doke. Feel free to keep calling me whatever you like, I'm just saying you're demonstrably wrong. [8|]

<t> In case you feel unconvinced;<br/>

Telemecus was the one who invited me (briefly) to the 2by3+ game, where Neogodhobo can attest to the fact that I am not really of the same calibre player.<br/>
<br/>
EvK has received spreadsheets from both Telemecus and myself. The problem for me in ...

We are not the same person. But the wild accusations are amusing.

I always do find it strange the relative imbalance between discussions of axis and soviet strategy (leaning towards axis generally, aside from some notable exceptions like HLYA's Pskov defence)

<t> You don't need to bold the exploit I get it. Not really related to my point, but yeah I get it. My point is the fact that you have no illusions you can stop it is irrelevant, since you could stop it before and so it was really a non-sequitur to point out that you can stop it now that it's easier ...

<t> Yeah but you also said you could stop the strategic bombing/telemecus' red airforce strategy cold if they wanted to when there was recon spamming, in fact you said it would be easy. I believe you could, I figure you being a very skilled player could deal with any of these problems, knowing the ...

<t> I've only played 4 games against human, but I've never attacked Pskov directly, dislodging the defense by attacking south of it and threatening an encirclement of the position usually forces them back to the Luga for me. I always try to sneak through the swamps if they let me and i find you can ...
