I think it would be interesting to combine your opening with a super Lvov appraoch that traps 16th army west of Zhitomir too. I recall that it is possible when toying around with it, but not sure if it can be done in a not-messy way...
This would be the next development. What I have posted here is a game with a hodge podge of different ideas. I would be very interested in anyone trying the idea of the fast east openings tried here for the North- post what happened! Also some have told me they are looking at Timmeh's opening in the South tried here to see if they can use it and improve on it - so this may not be the last word on that either!

I suspect they are Beria's top ten! [:D]

Hate to say this guys, but Brief Encounter seems to me a chick flick. [:-]
Philistine! [:-]

Because the supplies are there anyway, being a bit messy on the first turn is not so bad I think?

As requested by Telemecus, presenting the sequel featuring Richard Burton and Sofia Loren: Briefer Encounter, whereby German High Command absconds on a Ju 52/m turn 2 upon finding their lover escaping upon a Lisunov-2.

I am still very proud of this AAR for what I think is the shortest game with a full AAR here. And can point to this for genuine new ideas about how to run these early turns. Plus remember some classic cinema! [;)] It seems the young guns are outdoing me here! The fad for single-digit game AARs continues!
Now eskuche do you really know who Sofia Loren is? - or did you have to google to find out who she is?
BTW personal family fact my mum actually was in a film with Sofia Loren, Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra (eskuche - google them! [:D] ) and I found the scenes of them on youtube!
