Soviet disadvantages (v1.11. patch)??????

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

Are you saying you expect to win as Soviet on the default settings ?
If so I would like to challenge you to a game, and would hope to be able to take both Leningrad and Moscow in '41.

If you are asking me, I would love to but current games and my workload will not accommodate another game. But to give you comfort I'm sure you would take both Leningrad and Moscow easily ;-P See, you win easily! Game over.

The only thing I am saying that I can go on is that I have 15 games using my Strat that I started posting on and have not lost Leningrad and Moscow baring the two still in progress games. If you are a better player than the other 15 players, great love to play you. But now that I have posted on my opening strat it would be easy to compromise what I do. Not to mention set the Germans up to rush one or the other or both Leningrad/Moscow sacrificing the other fronts to gain the prize of a capture. I prefer to play after I develop a new strat and I will do that in WiTE 2.0. I sincerely do appreciate the offer but after these current games finish I will be moving on to WiTE 2, we can meet up there & more than happy to play you :)

I am not so sure given the planned patch .. the Panzerball to Moscow strategy is a specific problem the powers to be are nerfing
So ... a "Pskov wall" and the planned new patch changing German supply might be very humbling to the Huns ... [8D]

BTW) Taking Leningrad and Moscow against a Russian player willing to stick it out is not the end all .. and I believe Hardluckyetagain would be such a player ..

Thank you but I really don't consider myself that good of a player. Others on this forum are far better than me. I do believe holding Leningrad as a Soviet to be of the Highest priority above Moscow. I will let Moscow fall before I let Leningrad fall if at all possible. Not having the Finns for the coming winter really does hurt the Germans a great deal.

Not just that. You can have shorter lines - in effect 18th army can be used elsewhere rather than at Leningrad. And shorter supply lines, the rail supply out of Finland through the isthmus is in effect another FBD just when your northern most troops need it. The list could go on...

Or go on a big Offense during the Winter because German troops are spread thin like this game that ended earlier this year.
