<t> Im in. Game for either side but would prefer Soviet as I preferred to run from bullies when I was young.<br/> <br/> I have 2 games under my belt. Both didn't last past 1941. Looking to go the distance. Consider myself advanced beginner (need experience with air, SU, and getting along with others...

<r> Positive note is that Odessa held on one last turn. That is one less turn his rail will close on Rostov-by-the-sea.<br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/59006/7B76F5DFF58244D09FCB6B0AC1B56117.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/59006/7...

<r> Feeble attempts were made to slow this train down but as future turns will show, it is easier said<br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/59006/7D5BCE0F14484E80A08556C5A7AE236A.jpg"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/59006/7D5BCE0F14484E80A0...

<r> While not much to comment on in the N and Center, the Axis are now at the gates of Dtown<br/> <br/> My attempt to entice AGS away from Cherkassky towards Dtown worked perfectly. To my dismay he actually made it which I calculated as being impossible. Looks like just being next to the city makes ...

<r> So, partisans. I was reluctant to track partisans in an AAR for fear of retribution. But, a stronger case is that now my opponent has seen these, any anti-partisan movements could be seen as underhanded and therefore avoided. Of note, the Dr. has been very meticulous about garrisoning cities and...

<r> -Turn 8. I cant seem to stop the Germans no matter how hard I try. I threw everything I could in front of Leningrad and can barely slow down the determined Panzer(ish)ball. It appears that if the German side has a sole purpose, it can achieve it. Only time will tell, and remedy my lack of experi...

<t> Its funny in this game seeing the grass greener on the other side. Every turn I open I am thinking "how the hell did he break thru/encircle/rout there?!" I have slowed down your advance to Leningrad but it is still turn 10. AGC is stonethrow distance from Moscow and AGS is across the Dnepr. Seem...

<t> -Dr. has been doing a fantastic job of partisan suppression. I thought there would be more by this point in the disaster. What are the assumptions for what it takes to create? I am assuming he is holding every population center to 100% but don't know the force strength to accomplish this.<br/> -...

<r> Looks like this blob which is composed of more than 1/2 the GER ARM/MOT units will be in Leningrad by the winter. I have been throwing everything I can in front to seemingly no avail. Accepting that Leningrad will fall, I will rail out before suffering the double rail penalty but continue to ble...

<r> A few things to note from TURN 7:<br/> -The Dr. appears to break down divisions into brigade at every opportunity. These BDEs are typically still higher than SOV divisions and are a great force multiplier for him essentially tripling his available forces. He has used them smartly to cover his li...

<t> Good post Dade! This opinion is shared by many including myself! I have somewhat enjoyed the learning process but really dislike the fact that some things "under the hood" are left to speculation and change with updates. That makes it hard to achieve consistent results to nail down how the game ...

<t> To start with, looks like my lake Prepus forces are getting cut off. A PZRBlob thrust of 9 MOT units split my line connecting Lake Pripus and Ilmen. After throwing a majority of my available units at the penetration I was able to get in front.<br/> <br/> In the center Western front commander exe...

<t> The Dr. emailed the turn over to me stating that it had been a "pretty quiet turn". Upon opening the file I realized that it must have been sarcasm as the Germans had made 50+ attacks. <br/> -First thing, I decided to look at pulling SUs out of cities. Clicked the "x" to return one AAA unit out ...

Jumping on this post. Will Fortified Regions disband if not stacked with another unit, in contact with enemy, and given a TOE of 20%? I want to slim my forces facing the Finns at Leningrad but if the Fort Regions disappear the Finns will ooze in

I have seen aircraft units downgrade due to lack of availability. Maybe that is a possibility. Are you producing enough 1943 T-34s to fill requirements?

<t> The Soviet turn 4 opens to 26th Army and most of SW Front being surrounded for inevitable destruction. Yaay. Big selling point for turning and running against an experienced player vice trying to slow them down. This will mean the loss of 9 ARM/MOT and a handful of INF DIVs. The apparent German ...

<t> Turn three opened with me (re)reading some AARs about the turn and run tactic in the Ukraine. I ended up being unable to bust some pretty nasty encirclements on SW Front which will probably result in losing most of the divisions assigned there. I had some misconceptions regarding the range of GE...

<t> Thanks for the redirect. I should have spotted this.<br/> <br/> Unfortunately, trying to obtain info chewed up a lot of recon planes unnecessarily. <br/> <br/> I am still learning things about the game every turn. Probably similar to the on-the-fly lessons learned by the Soviets during Barbaross...

I haven't found much success with SOV 1941 recon. Regardless of how many sorties I fly, I haven't been able to get more than an indication that a unit is in woods/town. I would think that flying 25 missions would tell some detail, IE are there tanks in this town?

<t> SOV turn 2 actually ended up being easier than turn 1. About half my units (to their detriment in later turns) screened while the other half retreated. Trying to keep a vision on what my final ideal organization will look like as I drive my divisions East. Right now, my fronts look like a rainbo...
