Battles over most parts of the front now. Model is penetrating my lines and Im having some success closing the gaps. In the process I have managed to cut off several tank corps. I just eliminated such a pocket in the north, where he lost 5 Tank Corps.
So, his tank losses are mounting.
This however irks me somewhat.
What he does is fill up the hexes that were surrounded with HQ-units, so the tank corps wont be able to retreat in the wrong direction. In the image, I had 4 Tank Corps and one Tank brigade surrounded. He managed to open the pocket and pull back one hex. Then he moved in 4 HQ units into the pocket so that the Tank Corps that were furthest east would not retreat west again.
I dont like that behavior.

You really believe for one second a novice/beginner would know to do such a tactic? No disrespect to either of you two here but he is toying with you like a cat with a cornered mouse and is enjoying every second of it. To be honest this is the most depressing AAR I have ever read. This isnt an AAR (After Action Review) where we learn from each other, this is a "look at me" what I have done review. I can only shake my head in disbelief this game continues. Again no disrespect to either of you two but the skill mismatch is "highly" noticeable and this mismatch has made for a "very" one sided game.

This game is more shamefull for the winner than for its unfortunate opponent who looks very sportmanship and friendly.

I could not agree with you more Stelteck. +1 to this post

I always wonder why on earth a veteran player would try to disguise as newbie in order to find easy but not so interesting battle.

This game is completely unbalanced and Model is either a veteran player or a very very smart beginner who has read a lot of AARs.
Placing the HQs in this way borders on gameyness but on the other hand it makes no sense that soviet units flee west so its +-0 for me.
The AAR really interesting because it shows what is possible with the Soviets and I hope it will continues (I am interested in the current OOB by the way) for my entertainment
Imo the problem is: Some players are looking for a relaxed or historical plausible game, others like the intellectual challenge of squeezing everything out of the ressources.
The first fraction calls the latter "exploiters" and "unfair". The second fraction, on the other hand, complains about players who have "no clue how things are working".

Actually I wonder what the game would have looked like without that +1 Soviet attack. In my other games as the soviets, Im having enormous trouble breaking through even weak regiments, and in our game, Model just sliced through divisions.
