<r>G'Day all..<br/>
With this game Tamas and I are playing, which is a hybrid possum one, which I must say is unhistorical, with it's massive red air force, red army tank corps and very powerful soviet mechanised cav divs etc, and all of this in 1941, along with low german production, poor luftwaffe ...

<t>Hmmm.. Interesting points covered so far..<br/>
<br/>
But I still advocate, as previously stated on this thread, for a simpler solution based largely on entrenchment values.<br/>
<br/>
A quick re-run if I may.. If the axis opponent ceases offensive operations at say mid October 1941, and ...

<t>G'Day Possum..<br/>
I am currently playing your scenario, and thanks for the work you have put into it, but my view is that it is flawed..<br/>
1] Axis air power is non existant, or should I say, soviet air power is way over the top in terms of numbers and experience. In essence the soviet player ...

First, it is an historical fact that the Germans weren't ready for winter, and not just because they didn't stop and dig in. They weren't ready because they didn't plan for it to ...

Interesting discussions todate, but could we be loosing the plot a wee bit with this issue, by advocating complicated fixes for this bug, thereby making it more complicated than it needs to be, and thus introduce even more bugs ??..<br/>

<t>Thanks RickyB for the detailed reply, I agree in principle with your proposal, but I also believe that the entrenchment value should be included in the equasion some how, as this very important aspect of defence is quite often overlooked..<br/>

The blizzard Bug is Still with Us

<t>I am currently playing a game as the axis side, using possum's scenario, which I must say in terms of air power is extremely unbalanced, and I basically reached the objectives I had set for 1941 by early October, and so went onto the defensive, just as the rains started, and dug in.<br/>
