Case White PBEM: RocketMan-Poland vs. CYORESS1-Axis : German Thread

[CYORESS1]

Turn 5 northern front: The polish player is retreating in very good order. It is just enough for me to maintain contact with the poles. I made a mistake with my enginners that cost me some time.

[CYORESS1]

Southern front. I am still making headway down south. Just not enough. The polish player is just retreating everywhere. I think he is going to pull everyone back to Warsaw. That could become a problem for me.

you seem to fight a very good polish defender. there is a discussion if you play to cautios. what's your take on this? could you have been faster if you would accept more german losses? whats your take on the game so far?

Very interesting read.  Very much enjoying the AAR.

Excellent AAR. I have made a longer break from the Matrix site and just got to read your AAR in one sweep. Thanks for writing it.

I always found it very hard to conquer Warsaw in time and think it is not a bad strategy to go for "the rest of Poland" instead. But in order to achieve that, it is probably necessary to threaten (feign on) Warsaw sufficiently so that the Polish start to cluster around their capital protectively and leave the other cities less protected.

The continuous retreat strategy of your opponent seems very strong. I wonder if anybody has found a good recipe against this?

I hope you continue to report on this game.
