Dispatches from OKH: Q-Ball (Axis) v. Von Beeanie (SOV)

[pompack]

Looking forward to seeing another Q-Ball AAR real soon (like tomorrow!)

[Oleg Mastruko]

ORIGINAL: Q-Ball
GAME UPDATE:

Von Beanie lives in the mountains of California, and a snowstorm knocked out power to his house for 3 days. THAT's why we hadn't heard from him! Pretty hard to play without electricity......

Serves him right, blizzard thing backfired on him! [:D]

Seriously, good to hear he's OK.

[Mynok]

My only regret is that I hope I can take Leningrad again!!!!!!!

You won't get an easy backdoor this time, I'm sure.

Let me know if anyone wants final STATS in 1/29/42; I will post those.

That would be appreciated, both so we can see the ending OOB's and so the testing team/developers can see with what kind of OOB levels you ended up having serious problems in the blizzard.

[Q-Ball]

FINAL NUMBERS:

At beginning of 1/29/42 German Turn (5 turns of Blizzard remaining)

BEGIN STRENGTH 1/29:

German: German:
3.6 mil 2.9 mil
37,400 Guns 29,700 guns
2800 Tanks 2,277 tanks

Russia:
5.3 mil 5.7 mil
45,000 guns 57,500 guns
4500 tanks 4500 tanks

Many of the German elements are damaged, in particular 700 tanks, so I would expect the final number, 5 turns later, to be lower. Russians gained strength through the Winter.

Not sure where I would have ended up, but south of 3 mil. is certainly a safe bet

TOTAL WINTER LOSSES:

Germans:
950,000 men
12,300 guns
1,180 tanks

Russians:
780,000 men
8,300 guns
2,600 tanks

It would be a good thing if both of you Senno and Oleg DO write an AAR. Will you be doing that? [&o]

Oops, missed this. Don't really intend to write an AAR. Can report strengths at critical junctures, but AAR writing isn't my strong suit, hehe. Have no objection to Oleg writing one that makes fun of my shambling wanna-be offense.[:)]

Sorry to hear about Von Beanies power outage. And am glad he is ok.

[TulliusDetritus]

Senno, yes, I know an AAR takes some time [8D]
