[BrianG]

Alas

We are deep into mother Russia, and the fighting gets tougher!

[BrianG]

Far north. The release Fins are over a month away from reaching the front.

[BrianG]

Moscow final.

My 4th army is not in a fist but spread south. It will be pushed back.


I think I have 10 German 86 morale or better infantry units in winter quarters. I think it is too many and a few more could have helped near the front during blizzard but that is were I am at the moment.

[BrianG]

final Kursk.

I will retreat and retreat. I have room to give.

[BrianG]

final Rostov.
Here it is very interesting.

I have rr supply now all the way into Rostov.

I want to keep Rostov and bridgehead over river for 1942 offensive.

We will see if he can push me back further north to a point where I need to retreat due to fear of Rostov being cut off.

I am not so sure - at least so far I have never seen a game where you should not have put more in blizzard protection. It is a questions of pros and cons. But in blizzard the infantry might give you a held or two keeping the opponents back a couple of hexes by end of blizzard. The extra morale in summer will mean those infantry can travel 3 more hexes forward into enemy territory EVERY turn. I know that is a very blunt calculation and does depend on a lot of things. But I have yet to be convinced in other games that more units should have been left outside.

Do you really need to winter the SS motorized divs....pretty sure they leave anyway and auto come back at full morale when they return.

I know most experienced German players Ive seen usually burn those SS motorized divisions out fighting in the some of the toughest spots all winter. Since morale losses on them don't matter.
