Well most of my AAR's have been where Germany is in the leading position to defeat Russia and while I am preparing a new 41 invasion I thought I would see how I would go being on the back foot for a change.
So I have decided to play The Vistula Campaign and try to defend Germany from the Russian hordes !
The setup
The designer recommends that it should be challenging level when playing as The Axis however I think I will start off with normal for the time being, I will monitor the AI after each turns if it gets easy I will up the levels but given the size of the Soviet strength and the Axis forces state I think they will smash through my defences quite easily and steam roll The Axis to Berlin or get bogged down, either way it could end up being quite a boring AAR so I will try to make it interesting and fun as best I can being its a PVE game.
Air War : will be simple, I have no experience of managing the Air War and certainly for this campaign I have no need to I cant see the Luftwaffe in any position to offer effective resistance even if I had some idea.
I will start with the open Soviet operations since they get to attack first then begin the defence of the Reich, so here goes as this could end by turn 13.
