TD, that is what he has had success with in every game he has played and those games have been under 1.04 betas.
I know your latest winter was with 2ndACR, but I am not sure what version you were playing when you launched your offensives. The other thing is I think your army was not as pressed as what some of these Russians armies were pressed and so in much better shape to launch counter attacks. I also think 2ndACR was not as prepared as Pelton has been when it comes to winter.
The forts do help under the new patches when it comes to German loss reduction, making them stronger.
Most of the AAR's I have seen, the Germans are very weak during December especially, but get stronger as the Blizzard goes along switching from month to month.
We waited for the patch that more or less fixed the blizzard [.x.24]? Believe me, a single unit (no matter the fort level: realistically = 3) CANNOT resist the Red Army assaults. This is what I discovered. And of course, what I exploited.
So either he had managed to literally massacre the Red Army during the summer or he did like Christ: the miracle of draught of fishes, but with German divisions instead of fishes [:D]
Tarhunnas, the consequence of my reasoning is simple: have 2-units German stacks in critical places (forts are still necessary, minimum level 2). And have single units in non critical places of the front. After all, Q-Ball army is not that massacred [:)]
