BEGIN ORDER 66

Bit harsh on a Kerch Fortress, usually there is a Gentlemen's agreement not to create a Fortress there.
Did I miss the memo or is it now " all bets are off " on building such Fortifications.

regards

Well, the way I see it is, the Germans invaded me and so Im going to defend myself as best I can.

"But Stalin, didn't we agree to no counterattacks in the Winter.".

Looks good for you. I think you will secure the initiative in the fall and never lose it afterwards. The playstyle mist have cost the Axis a lot by now. What are the OOBs?

To bring a real response to tm1 instead of a funny one; I really don't enjoy playing with such rules, but even so I was not aware of such rules in the community. Im not a big part of the community here other than posting my AAR and having been part of the Massive Multiplayer Wargame we had with you all some years back. So I wouldnt be aware of such ruling.

One thing for sure tho, if I were to be asked to not build a fortress on Kerch, I would ask my opponent not to use their Pz. Div in 1941. . These types of gentleman rules might be good when facing pro players but we're just two noobs having fun. Everything goes, in fact, I was thinking of doing naval and airborne operations but I guess I didnt read on it so I still don't know how to. But maybe one day.

I will post OOB very soon (we're at turn 69 right now so expect a stats round for turn 70 if I dont forget). And yeah the axis playstyle is not doing him any favour I think. I think it would have worked great had he encircled me a lot in 1941 but as it is now I can just plug any holes he punch trough. Currently he has encircled an army and a half ( we're not there yet in the AAR and so we'll see if I can manage to rescue them or not. I think I will but it may be wishful thinking haha.

Seeing as the Rasputitsa is fully set, We will start seeing very small AAR for the next two turns or so.

Move along
