The infantry units are closing up, closing the gaps, and in ...

<t>AAR. Normal settings, etc etc.<br/>
Well, this morning we received reports here in Moscow about some air attacks on our airfields in the western districts! For Shame! Nazi Germany has decided to not honour the non-agression pact with agression! In excess of 4000 aircraft are now lying in heaps of ...

First REAL AAR

<t>Well, here's the screen shot of the casualties first phase (Germans) of the 22 Jun 41 turn. Not many head on head battles, just lots of deep thrusts into the Soviet lines, with a view to encircling Soviet armies. At best count, some 20 Soviet armies are either surrounded or in grave danger of ...

AAR: vonGarvin (German) vs TDV (Soviet)

<r>Well, the war is on. No "major" battles, but there were huge advances as the Panzers drove North, East and South into the USSR. The battle was initiated by the Luftwaffe making several strikes against Soviet airfields, to great effect. Too early to tell if the battles of encirclement will work ...
