This basically nullifies the effect of poor roads in every scenario except when a division is moving into clear terrain or woods (in addition to the special rules for swamps and heavy woods).

The roads start making much more difference with poor weather and especially with heavy rain. Hexes ...

Hello, I noticed some weird things when looking at MP expenditure of units making a ZOC to ZOC move, so I asked about this in the kulik discord which lead to me and Wiedrock investigating this a little bit and we found some confusing things.



I think this is the manual not being as clear as ...

Hey M60, just wanted to say well played and thank you for sharing the game with us, it has been really enjoyable to follow.

I also have a savefile that was requested by my opponent after the game was finished and i will share it here if someone is interested to look at it. If anyone has some feedback, i would really like to hear it.

I retreat and try to make a defense that cant be exploited by panzers next turn. The panzers are currently sitting in place in their positions where they finished next turn and from here there are a lot of options for them to advance ...

Air:
Not the best air turn - mostly due to me trying to bomb two Axis infantry south of lake Ilmen hoping they are not covered by fighters - i was wrong and suffered level bomber losses here.

Major blunder here (Yes, one more!). I tried to assist the bad ground situation with massive air bombings, but due to my lack of experience with air, my opponent properly defending, and me being a bit over zealous after my defeats i lose ...

A major blunder here as well. I don't know why did i focus so much on the southern part of the front, but naively left the middle of the front so vulnerable. My opponent exploited this and made a huge breakthrough. Retreat is the only ...

My opponent attacks again east of the Volkhov river, cutting another rail connection to Lenningrad. Only one rail line going trough Tikhvin + the one going trough the unplayable area (which might be cut by Finland eventually - i'm not sure) remains ...

Orel MD gets encircled this turn (7 inf, 1 arm, 1 airb, 2 corps). I manage to reopen it - the units will not get out, but the infantry will be delayed which is great. Also the panzers will get less fuel. I thought my opponent will not go for this because ...

Overall a lot of bombings this turn by me.
In the north i used my air to bomb German infantry and interdict their back line so they cant use administrative movement.
In the center I focused on supporting the breakthrough from the pocket (I bombed the two 3=3 regiments ...

Smolensk falls - too bad, I hoped it could maybe hold. The Axis infantry is here but the Western front will still hold! Combination of diggins, good units railed in, good supply and good commanders - don't forget about good terrain - make holding here a ...

Novgorod falls in a battle with final odds 2:1. Overall not much progress for the Axis here - but every tile is important since I already gave too much ground. I defend primarily the swamps north of the 3=3 and 3=11 regiments because there there is just 2 ...

Odessa is cut off - I haven't done nearly of a good enough job setting it's defense up and enemy bombers have killed all supply coming to the port. Otherwise I deployed some bombers to the Orel and Southwestern ...
