I agree too, but it is not always possible and, of course, there is also the vanity thing in this case of wanting to keep Moscow as long as possible (well vanity 1st, but also MP denial attempt). MM put a lot of pressure during the summer and I was starting to believe that I could not plug all those holes anymore. But weather came to my help eventually and things stabilized on both fronts, except Libya. 1944 will probably be brutal as I can see the Soviets reorganizing (disbanding, rebuilding) and making themselves ready for a big Spring offensive, now that they produce a more reasonable amount of MP.MagicMissile wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 5:06 am Yes inf in front and mech in the rear is the way to do,it if you have the units to do it.
Yep,at one point it was over 100 PP production lost (maybe 150?) on a turn just from the lingering effect of previous, not even that turn's bombing. I was also surprised by the quality of US escort fighters, they did well. Me think that they have advanced Mustangs operational!MagicMissile wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 5:12 am May 43
On a brighter note the Strategic bombing campaign is picking up some momentum with Ruhr area and part of Berlin out of action.

I am lagging almost a year in gameyears I will catch up. German army is huge and the difference between our games is that Italy still alive, So take out both Germany and Italy in 2 summers not sure it can be done but we will see. Very nice game so far anyway.battlevonwar wrote: ↑Sat Feb 25, 2023 1:22 am -1 corp per turn is quite brutal on the Germans at this point in the game... Also now Nirosi will have to contend with keeping his West region covered, his Air War in the west at least even and continue to hold the Soviets from pushing too easily too quickly (and destroying too much)
I really love to have a lot of good XP German Units on the Eastern Front at this point if I can manage it but they can die to lots of enemy air and concentrated attacks and you can't replace them right now so easy.
. Southern part of the front is outside air support range as well and I cannot even base airunits in France they drain too much supply. .
