And for the moment the different axis of attack that Schascha has choosen for this spring 1943

In White Russia



In Ukraine

Turn 103, 3rd June 1943

Schascha did some light attacks, but mainly used his airpower. The front didn't move

The losses:




I felt confident with a such level of losses but in fact the balance is going on his side...



In one month the variation is as follow



Time is clearly not on my side!!!!![:(]

And above all I hate his air strikes.

Due to my reserve commitment system, I need commanders with high initiative but he is killing them regularly



"Verlorene Siege" will not be written

I'm asking how Wite manage a game without generals?

How many generals has he killed already, and were the HQs stacked together with combat units?

Another very lamo part of wite

I hope witw doesn't have the same stupid "random" death system or all the GHC leaders will be dead in a month.

Another great example of why people should disband Corp HQ's.

If you are set up right you can get by with 7 and even 6 for reactions and from reading the AAR, you are set-up right.

You have 4.5 million so you have a draw no problem. I was holding off 9.5 million with 3.5 handy capped with several bugs.

Its nice to see more and more GHC players learning the art of defending.

Very good AAR, old dogs can learn new tricks.

Here is the list of the general killed. e-Hitler helped the russians while executing Von Bock



At the begining of the game, HQ were alone behind the front and not stacked. But they lost roughly 500 men at each air strike.

Now I stack them with other units and try to move them regularly to prevent too easy air striking.

Thanks.

I used in fact most of your advices. Till mid 43, it works.

Losing Guderian, Manstein, Kleist and Rendulic is a harsh blow, Lindemann is also a good commander. Am I the only one who thinks massed bombing of HQs to kill leaders by either side in WITE is gamey?

Some players set as home rule no bombing of HQ when not stacking with another unit.

I think it's a good idea.

In fact it's my first campaign versus human reaching mid 1943. I don't know if 12 killed is a "normal" result.

Turn 104, 10 june 1943

First, no leader killed[;)]

Heavy fights this week, Schascha made heavy attacks as show the losses



I'm pretty satisfied with the air losses ratio

First round, north of Minsk



GHC 1 SHC 0

I lost 2 level of fortif...

second round, west of Cherkassy

Several attacks including this one (139 afv destroyed)


And here I'm proud to see that 7 units in reserve were activated!!!





GHC 2 SHC 0

3rd round SW of Kirovograd



GHC 3 SHC 0

4 th round, West of Krivoi Rog



I lost this hex but I'm really upset because, until last turn, the commander of the XXXXVI pzK was Manstein.... with him I wouldn't have lost this battle.

So the final result: GHC 3 SHC 1[:)]

Turn 105, 17 june 1943

In the East nothing new



I have now not enough air 6 rating commanders for my Luftflotte...

And surprisingly the front is quiet. I don't understand why.

Good job man. What is the shortest distance to Berlin?

Once you get the hex to turn ratio positive you got this.

The soviet needs more pioneers divs in each attack , concentrate in a point to break the front.

There is a counter to that.

Schascha is 56 hexes from Berlin. It's not enough for the moement but he doesn't advance a hex per turn.

SHC uses a lot of engineers.

I've seen up to 22 per attack.

I think that Schascha wants to optimize every attack. Perhaps he should do more and accept some defeats in order to weaken my OOB
