RKhan vs thedrillsgt, Part 2 (Done - Soviet Victory T25)

[sillyflower]

I'm with you on this one. Grab terrain IF it will help you defend in '42, and planting yourself back on the Dnepr/Molochna line can be v. good for that especially as it can also shorten the line.

Hitler had a look at his situation map and decided to end it all.

So this is the end of the AAR, which I had hoped to use to explore many other topics like Soviet Airforce and SU allocations etc.

I want to thank Sillyflower, Loki and Chaos for teaching me what little I know via their brilliant AARs.

I want to thank Pelton for giving me a yardstick for the German side. Pretending to play against the best has served me well.

Most of all, thank you to thedrillsgt for an enjoyable game.

Hopefully I will be on the boards again soon with another AAR. There is still so much to learn before I'm done with this game.

thanks (to both of you) for the AAR - always interesting to follow. In the circumstances I don't think there was any sense to go forward.

[Wuffer]

well done, next one.

Nice job, you played this very well.

The early blizzard turns can be very painful for inexperienced axis players. Cavalry divisions that you were pushing around with hasty attacks are now suddenly ZOC locking your units and you can't retreat fast enough. I remember it well!

Very nice job with the AAR. I think we may have another "uber" player here.!!

I'm off to France for a week. I will look for something once I'm back.

Once I saw the opportunity I skipped converting to cavalry corps. More ZOCs.

Thanks, but it was just one game. I have lots to learn still.
