My opponent who has played as the germans under 1.04 and 1.05 stated that the AXIS recovers very quickly from the Blizzard, like 2 months quicker, and is able to mount a major offensive on the first clear turn of 42.

Yessss, great news ... [:D]

In january, to succeed you need minimum an initial 2:1... when halved => 1:1 => let the massacre begin.

Still... I managed to find lots of victims the same. 36 retreats he he he... Wins wins wins... I should harvest a decent quantity of Guards come the end of blizzard.

And you're lucky. I will not use the cheap little trick which consists in checking the unis "won/lost" thing... "let's see, that one needs one more victory, oh, and that one should not be defeated!"... I imagine the Stavka commanders (or better their bloody accountants) checking these things... It makes a lot of sense eh?!

P.S.: whilst we are at it, I would get rid of the won/lost column. The whole thing is sort of gamey, in my opinion.

See 11.4 in the manual. Wins and losses are used in determining leader promotions.

Elmo, sorry if I wasn't clear [:)] I wanted to say that the player should not see these statistics. They obviously have to stay (guards, and leaders).

I mean, it's the same principle as with the Guards. It we see a leader only needs let's say 2 victories, we might wait (or send him to reserve) or assign him to an army/front which you know is going to harvest the victories needed.
