Here's the updated scenario in case anybody wants to play w/ it some. Just rename the file by clipping off the ".txt" ( dot txt ) to make
it a zip file again.

Here's the supply situation in turn 1 in the Leningrad area. As you can see the overwhelming majority of the units are in garrison mode.

Here's the situation near Riga. As you can see in turn 1 most of the units are in garrison mode and so there's not much for me to do
for the Soviet units except for changing them to "ignore losses" setting.

Here's the state of the Soviet aircraft. As you can see none of them are combat ready.

I'm going to try to use the checkerboard defense to slow Elmer down and give me time to fall back to better positions.

RE: turn 2

Post by larryfulkerson »

Here's the German supply situation in turn 2. I may have extended the supply radius ( 15 ) a little too far since the German supply is
pretty much the same as last time. Well, we'll play it a few turns and see if it makes a difference in gameplay.

I looked it up in the "3.5 what's new.doc" thingie about it and sure enough it's there. So I'm guessing that's what you'll need.

Tantalising. I asked Ralph for this but had no idea he'd actually done anything on it.

I had to search through the entire thread to find what you're referring to.. but well.

Trusted PBEM - while the option button exists, the actual option doesn't yet. But planned for 3.5, yes.

Here's the T3 front lines. The Soviet front lines aren't as sexy as the Axis front lines are they?

Sorry you guys......I'm going to have to curtail this AAR since I have been called to do some playtesting in the development forum.

For some reason when I click on the attachment it was downloading into NotePad. Did a save target as and added a .zip extension and it seemed to work. Thank you for the response.

Today is clearly not my day. I put the file in the scenario folder, but it does not turn up when I try to open. I put it in the WWII East Front folder, but when I navigate there within TOAW, all the scenarios are there except this one. What foolish mistake have I made now? Thanks.

I tried to look for it myself and I couldn't find it either. So I edited the entire scenario again just now and now it works. So we have an
updated lgf_Barbarosa.sce for you guys. Just save-as and give it a zip extention on the file name and unzip it. Or rename the
lgf_ Barbarosa.sce.zip.txt file by clipping off the ".txt" off the end of the filename to make it a zip file.

EDIT: I added some RR engineers to all the Axis HQ, AA, and engineer units so you should be able to repair all the rail in the world
now and the rail line should be able to keep up w/ the front lines now. I extended the supply radius to 15 for both sides of the
conflict so the supply situation should be improved for both sides.

Guys,

It is a 3.5 scenario and the format means that it will not open under 3.4

Best wishes,
Steve

Yes, at first it WAS a 3.5 scenario and that's why it wasn't showing up as available. So I edited the scenario using 3.4 and now it
shows up. Good catch.

Larry, what are play testing in the development forum.
Thought for the day:
If you feel like doing some work, sit down and wait....... The feeling does go away.
