Hello! just finished the Tractor Factory scenario. I captured all VH's within 3 turns of the end with pretty minimal losses, very little to my core force (after the last few battles, I may have become a little numbed to losses, though!). I achieved a draw. Am I correct in assuming this is more an assessment of the overall German situation than a slam of my tactical abilities, or did I just take too many losses? - Soviet force morale was broken, and I forget the kill/loss ratio, but I think it was at least 2-1 if not quite a bit greater... How did others do on this one?- I long for the open steppes...
:)

Correct:

A draw in this Campaign - should reflect the assessment of the overall German situation.

Degen, only a few battles till the wonderful outdoors in the winter wonderland of mother Russian :D

Try'n to protect those retreating Romanians ;)

But before this - a few Factory buildings need taken :)
Thanks Bryan for the heads up on the battles to come. You designed a great campaign with a lot of variety to it. The battles force you to use solid tactics to preserve the core force otherwise they are torn up early on and you have nothing left for latter battles. I really have enjoyed this campaign and I plan to get back in to once my work lets up.

Thanks for the kind words :)

I hope to be posting a few more campaigns on the Arsenal soon. These will be able to be played from either side verses the Computer - shhhhh - no more said now ;)
