Stalin's in the gulag, I'm in charge! II - vs 2ndACR (Axis)

Later, during the blizzard, yes, in theory they should be attached to Shock Armies (morale bonus) [:)]

Don't forget the vodka. lots of vodka.

[TulliusDetritus]

Oh, I forgot to mention I had the Novgorod Chainsaw Massacre Part I. Let's hope there will be many many parts! The attack has reduced the fortification to 3 though.

Vodka, accordions, balalaikas and ushankas. I know, lots of them [:)]

[TulliusDetritus]

I haven't weakened yet the right flank of the AGN. I guess I might be diverting divisions to possibly the center on the next turn/s

[TulliusDetritus]

I have some units behind his lines in the Kalinin Front. They are dead men walking (or should I say future workers in the German armament industry). Somehow I have opened a corridor.

Aurelian, go seek yourself another tree.

a) You're totally off topic, you don't bring anything to falsify my analysis
b) you're still only wetting yourself, and will keep doing so (degenerating symptoms), and
c) your use of the a-word clearly indicates you haven't passed a certain childhood phase, so go seek professional help, laddie.

My sympathies are with TD, whoever really reads my posts sees my concern that TD isn't getting the game effort he deserves. I had an axis opponent turning awol in turn 13 two weeks ago, who made similar mistakes, that's why I succombed to venting my concerns here.

As for my analysis: Not having tanks fight in mountains and swamps is just very basic game mechanism comprehension. Nobody needs to play a pbem to prove this, it's enough to read the manual (combat and movement penalties, along with suffering supplies due to an even more strained supply path through difficult terrain).

On this AAR you should ONLY criticize ME [:D] I clearly said it on the first messages of this AAR: harsh criticism is welcome. It's still true. So feel free to say whatever you want but don't forget 2ndACR can't reply here. Fair play [:)]

I just hope you're happy with what you get in this game and do wish you get as far as I'd want to as soviet player.

As posted above: I had an axis opponent vanish without comment a short time ago under comparable circumstances. My Apologies if my venting of my concerns went too far. It reflects my desire to be able to learn more for quite some time in this great AAR.

[TulliusDetritus]

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here. This is the War Room [:)]

Reconvert, sorry but you are wrong, I am having a lot of fun with this game [8D] Overall, I suspect it's going to be a rather historical Blitzkrieg. He is not very close to Moscow, true, but he still has 3 turns to do that.

After all maybe the Germans are NOT Supermen during the summer. I never believed this thing but of course there is always a small doubt. On most of the AARs Leningrad and Moscow are falling. But are the Soviet players REALLY defending these places? And yes, I am thinking about a MASSIVE defence (both cities deserve a SUPREME effort if threatened, in my opinion). And to be honest, I haven't seen this "supreme effort" [:)]

In other words, I think the German war machine can be stopped. But then I might play versus PeeDeeAitch or Q-Ball --excellent Axis players-- and lose Leningrad and Moscow. So who knows! [:)]

[TulliusDetritus]

This is what I call a "supreme effort".

LOL, now the astronauts can't miss this mega horde. Impossible! [8D]

But there is of course the other side of the coin. I'm very strong here = I'm very weak elsewhere. As long as that weak part is NOT vital everything should be ok.

[cookie monster]

I think you have him out numbered![:D]

I haven't been in the AAR's much lately, I've moved onto the game Distant Worlds.

I was wondering why your AAR is 3 times bigger than 2nd ACR's?

Then I noticed the handbags being thrown around, and general cat-fighting.

Nice work, love the lack of seriousness.

My favourites were ''This is Leningrad'', and ''Surely the Astronauts can see my Leningrad buildup''.

[Encircled]

Just got my first Guard Division of Turn 15 of my PBEM game

Just in time for it to get encircled (along with most of my best units) in a rather large pocket around Leningrad

Well, let's not forget a German soldier is perhaps worth 3 Soviet soldiers during the Blitzkrieg [:D] I'm possibly exagerating a lot and thus wasting resources but I want to make sure catastrophes will not occur.

And yes, just like on my other AAR seriousness is absolutely forbidden.

Never tried sci-fi games. And I love this genre. Hmm...

LOL that's some bad luck [:)] Well, during the blizzard you (or any Soviet player) should be harvesting many Guards units

My dear boy:

I hate to break it to you, but the topic is TD's fun to read AAR. It's obviously beyond your comprehension, but the place for your ANALysis of ACR's play is in his thread. Not in a thread that he will not read until the game is over.

Judging by your behavior to the criticism launched at your craven actions, you don't take it very well. Which leads me to the conclusion that you will not like your play subjected to criticism. Because unlike you, I will put it *your* thread. And will criticize *everything*. Should I decide to waste the time to even read it.

I lost the former, and was about to lose the latter, to PDH. And he also plays for fun.

[TulliusDetritus]

PDH has to be an impressive opponent, methinks. But did you finally lose or not? [:)]

And what's "losing" exactly? Leningrad and Moscow captured? What about the blizzard? In theory it's payback time.

[PeeDeeAitch]

I called it a draw.  [:)]
 
I asked to not go to the bitter end and Aurelian accepted, end of story.

It was fun though.

[TulliusDetritus]

Ok, the Western Front. The situation here is a miasma of sh**! Very chaotic [8|] I have sent forces in the path of enemy panzers. I might hold Smolensk until turn 18, who knows [:)]

[TulliusDetritus]

In the Southwest I have concentrated some forces around Voronezh, to make sure I evacuate all the industry [:)] I also cut some enemy units off (that should slow them down a little bit).

[TulliusDetritus]

More in the south, I only need to evacuate the armaments industry in Stalino. On next turn, I guess.
