Field Marshal von Fogger vs Comrade Marshal Fulkerson

[Josh]

+1 to what Telumar says here. Terrain plus well dug in units will draw a lot of blood from the Germans, they will then face the choice either move more units there, or slog it out with the units Fogger has.
I always feel a bit uncomfortable when Leningrad is evacuated prematurely, as it would make comrade Stalin extremely unhappy.

Een andere tester voor mijn scenario! Josh, would you beta-test Kharkov '43, just 8-12 turns against Jo van der Plum?

Okay. You guys have talked me into defending Leningrad. I'll try to hang onto it as long as possible but I have no illusions that it's going
to hold out for very long. I too don't much like giving up on Leningrad but didn't think I have the troops to defend it. We'll ship some more
troops up there to help out and see what happens.

No Larry you do not want to do that. I would recommend that you withdraw to the Ural's and dig in there.

Hey Fogger dude......I think you may be the finest opponent I've faced so far ( in PBEM FITE ) and I thank you for all the fabulous
game play so far. Keep it up. Anyway, I've written up your suggestion and submitted it to STAVKA and I got back the
writeup with a stamp on the front in red ink. It said "Disapproved. Resubmit in 30 days for Final Disapproval."

Have to give John credit for a lot of unconventual moves so far in this game

I know. It's great. I'm having a blast even though I'm losing so far.

+ 1oo!

For me, this one here is definitively the most interesting AR of the whole Matrix stuff at the moment.
Please keep on!

Be sure to take your medicine and take care of yourself. I don't want to lose a good opponent.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm trying to make this AAR interesting and SOME people will exagerate their situation to do that and
I just wanted to take this oportunity to say that I'm not consciously trying to make this AAR more interesting by exagerating. I'm really
in the mess I'm posting about. I mean from my point of view it's really happening like I'm saying it's happening. But then I WOULD say
that wouldn't I? Anyway, see and judge for yourselves. John Fogger has advanced faster w/ more combat power than any other
opponent I've had and has made more progress than I remember any opponent making so far. And I'm really having a good time
w/ this game. Maybe I should post a saved game to this post to give people the chance to look around the battlefield some.
Nope, that won't work the file is too big. I can load it onto a file server somewhere and then post the link. How about that?

Here's the link to the saved game:

I think airfields do provide supply. This is after I dropped an airborne div to capture a bridge and airfield and then dropped a comdo unit to capture another airfield. As can be seen they do provide supply

Once more: Airfields do NOT provide supply.

Hm, you are right, but in some scenarios, for example Norm's Korea, overrun ROK units are supplied by air if they don't have hostile units next to them. An airfield is indeed not necessary

Loading the sal terminates TOAW with the message "You're playing with the wrong eqp file". If you could be so kind to make the file availablem too.

This must be a case of a hole in enemy ZOCs. Show me such a situation and i might explain it (or become a 'believer' finally ).

The best thing to do is to fight for that city. Dig in and dig in deep.

I should add that my experiences were based on TOAW 1.0 (around 1998/99?)in this example ... ))

Yeah, but this is exactly what the auditorium wish to see.
Thanks for your efforts, Comrade.

by the way, I don't think the complete war is allready completly lost...
there is some hope left, at least with General Telumar's advice on your side (not joking, he's that good)

Opps. My bad. I've uploaded the equipment file as well w/ this link you can obtain it. Please lemme know if you have any equipment
file problems. I'm not sure I can fix it from *here* but we can try.

So um.......does your Cool thanks mean that you've already tried it and it worked or ........???

[larryfulkerson]

Okay it's now turn 17. Here's the north part of the front lines. John is making slow progress.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the front lines in the middle. John is starting to mass his troops along the river south of Orsha. I'm thinking he's going to do a
mass crossing attempt. He knows I can't block everybody and so if he moves everybody some will get through. D'oh.
