Guys simply read all of Pelton's posts + AAR's which is all I have done - then you can help the newbies get up to speed allot faster.

Since you wrote it all too, must make for easy reading. [:'(]

I thought there were forum rules for trolling?

There are forum rules for trolling and now that I am a mod I will enforce them. However when two people come to the same conclusion independently I wonder if it's coincidence.

@ The One (Pelton). Go away - you are not welcome here anymore. Cowards hide behind false identities but you cannot hide your grammar style. Feel free to send me another abusive e-mail that I can joyfully delete but if you do so again I promise that I will delete every thread on this forum that you created too.

What I was talking Red Lancer was M60 - calling Hunter Pelton and now I am Pelton?

Just because 2 or 3 people think someone is person x
they are person x? I am sure you can simply look up a personal IP address and know for sure who is who.

Not sure what your personal issues are with me, but I am truly sorry you feel the way you do.

Just tring to help new people better understand the game and really don't care to get tangled up in a bunch of finger pointing drama
that has nothing to do with the thread.

Hope you have a great weekend.

How odd that you noticed what M60 had posted to someone else and felt the need to comment. Another coincidence? You must think I fell out of the stupid tree.

I'll have a good weekend when Pelton stops childish attempts to sneak back making poor attempts at being someone else and realises his behaviour has made him no longer welcome here in any guise.

Thanks for the tips TheOne.
Just one more question: You say you have around 200 000 men in the pools at the end of blizzard. Assuming you don't stockpile them and 10-20% get killed due to blizzard, this means you save 20-40 thousand men with this tactic?
(+ no attrition losses for 1 logistics phase as your not in contact),
Good point, haven't considered this before!
Plus the ground you lost in south you get to roll over manpower center AGAIN.
Good point as well

I am nearing the first blizzard ever against a human player (me playing Axis). It has been years since I played the game against AI and it was with standard Blizzard. For standard Bliz there was tons of guides how to cope with it (send best units to germany, send LW to germany, send SU's to germany or keep in cities, retreat couple hexes in time).

With mild blizzard I am a bit lost. How do german units react to mild blizzard?
Is it still needed to send units to winter holidays to Germany or are good forts+cities enough? Any other basic tips for mild blizzard?

In the game I am in fairly good position with Leningrad and Moscow captured, but just falling short of Rostov.
So I am enticed to fight in winter, but I don't know if it is viable under mild blizzard -option.

Oka north hole the lines and Oka south you can retreat if not dugin 1-2 hexes per turn during Dec.

It is critical now with the .01 patch that you still put panzers in citys near front or send to Germany, send all SU's to Germany and LW.

Also its critical you DO NOT attack during blizzard as lose ratio/counter attack ratio's have been changed.

Also all Divisions should be set to ready other then panzers in towns and ToE set to 71%,
all SU's in Germany set to 71% ToE other then pioneers set to 100%.

This will greatly lower your manpower/armament loses over the winter.

When March hits turn all Panzer units to ready, lower all SU ToE% to 55% and turn all infantry under 80% ToE to refit.

Once all units are over 80% then set all to refit 93% units, you can play with this, but by June all infantry will be at NM or higher lvls and all over 95% ToE

At some point in June put all Panzer Divisions on refit 93% - all SU's to 71% and all infantry on ready at 93% ToE.

You can at this time also disband a few HQs and AB's.

Your Army should be at max strength with a large pools of man.guns and AFV's for the summer dispite .01 new settings. LW will also be strong.

The more that I look @ this the more I realize what a loss ( he who shall not be named)
is to the game.This post is from someone who is passionate & understands about the game!
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

The person caused their own demise. Posting in a respectful way would have never gotten someone banned. I can understand the passion for the game, but the rhetoric could have been phrased a great deal more elegantly to be more persuasive without character attacks.

Alex

I have deleted your thread regarding Pelton in the WitE AAR posts. I have done so for three reasons:

- I am not convinced that you are not Pelton posting under a pseudonym or he is using your login.

- Pelton was banned from the forum for repeated violations of forum rules despite numerous warnings. This is a balatant circumventing of that ban. Whether it is you or he posting is immaterial. Pelton has lost the right to air his views or opinions on the WitE or WitW Forums.

- The forum is a better place since Pelton went. He has not been missed and I have received feedback from players who are now returning because he is no longer around to bully people.

I will delete any further post you make that air the views of Pelton. I will be locking Pelton's AAR threads.

Whilst I am at it I if you also know TheOne then the same goes for his posts and just to make it quite clear
I have no time for people who break rules or feel they are outside accepted behaviour.

As everyone can see Red you PMed asked ME to contacted TheOne who at the time I did not know,
but because of your PM I contacted him. That was back in mid-November kind Sir.

So TheOne knew long before this thread started (Dec 1st) you and others are on some kind of witch hunt, looking for the ghost
of Pelton behind every post.

I have no idea what your problem is with TheOne - I can see me I am a RL friend of Pelton so you can hate on me and I am cool with it.

But to randomly pick someone out of the crowd and claim they are someone they are not and call them a coward is very sad.

I might expect something like that from Pelton, but your the MOD on these forums dude?

Why all the hate for people you don't even know?

Ditto.

There is no hate as all my posts and the PM you released show. There is moderation without fear or favour and that is quite different.

If you want to see hate I suggest you get copied in to the e-mails that Pelton sends quite widely. I could post a few but they are offensive and the language would contravene forum rules.

I do wonder why you and The One don't get copied in. Of course, no need.
