What is the current date of the campaign? Losses so far? Any new maps ?

<t> I've never played this scenario against a human before. I've had a quick game as both German & Soviets against the AI.<br/>
<br/>
For the Germans, what I found was that there are areas where you can go on the offensive within the 1st 6-9 turns and put the AI on the back foot. On the first turn ...

<t> Just re-read Elefantino's posts about both maps. What I tend to find is that if the Russians can hold Kiev and the lines around Gomel from mid July till mid August, the retreat in the South is better for the Soviets.<br/>
<br/>
I'm surprised the Soviets haven't retreated all the armies South ...

<t> Can't see much of Savanniperkele's defences to the West and South of Moscow.<br/>
<br/>
Looking at the 2nd map provided, the Soviets have got several things to do to hold out.<br/>
<br/>
I'm guessing that the Soviets haven't pulled back from Kiev area, as it's looking like alot of Soviet ...

I'm playing a game when my opponent has shattered 3 soviet korps who were in SL 1. The game is blizzards '41. I would have thought the units would have retreated and not shatter. What is going on?

<t> One thing that you could check is the number of OPs left for that units HQ just before you press the button to start the combat resolution phase.<br/>
<br/>
Another thing that I am aware of is that if you plotted multiple plots and one of those plots fails for that 1 unit. Then the remaining ...

I think it is good rule and nice wording.<br/>

Have you still have that old strategy/hints/tips document? Some people here are putting a new one together for beginners and there might be some info they don't have.

p.s. I need all the help I can get [:'(]

Hmmmmm double bluffing ...... more twists and turns than a slippery snake going down a Helter Skelter.

Now I have a good picture of how things have panned out.

Ok it won't be August '43, rather September '43 [:'(]

<t> I've got time to play another game. Two of my current games are on hold due to opponents been busy.<br/>
<br/>
If you want to play I'd like to use as few rules as possible as with each of my 3 games at the moment there are different rules and it's a headache remembering which rules apply to ...

Some players save every turn during a campaign. I suspect if you swap passwords at the end of the campaign, then your opponent can see what you did at interesting stages of the game. Just a guess.

<t> Looking at the turn reports for this game there is a gap of reports from August to November. So it's a tad difficult to say without knowing how the war has gone on during this period.<br/>
<br/>
Has the entire German lines been constantly pushed back?<br/>
<br/>
If you're near the borders of ...

<r> My two pennies worth of tactics is more specific to airpower.<br/>
<br/>
German Air Tactics.<br/>
-------------------<br/>
<br/>
Depending on the rules which have been agreed. I tend to place DBs, FBs & F's in Front Line HQ especially the Panzer Armies. Bombers tend to go other HQ's. The ...

At this rate it would be easier and quicker to rewrite the manual [:'(]

<t> In the standard game v3.3 you can take 9 factories. I'm sure that I've read somewhere, that there is a time limit before the game stops you from transferring factories. I think it's 16 weeks, I could be very much mistaken.<br/>
<br/>
The reason why I take 3 HI, is so that if any other cities ...

<t> When I play as Russian, in the standard game of WIR<br/>
<br/>
I take 1 Heavy Ind, 2 Tank, 1 Art, 2 Plane and 1 Recon factory east. That leaves 2 slots available to Heavy Ind of Leningrad & Moscow if they are about to fall.<br/>
<br/>
Tanks and planes are the most important weapons in the ...

I'm looking for a game. I'll play any side, prefer Russian. This'll be be 2nd ever PBEM game, currently playing in another game as German.

If you want to give me a game, let me know. We can sort out the game details later.

<t> Only played against AI as both Russian and German, but mainly as Russian. I'll play German or Russian.<br/>
<br/>
If you've got time & patience for a newbie (against Human) then I'll interested in a game. Like most people, I can beat AI as either side, against another Human it should be ...

what are the total losses so far for both sides ?
