The next turn



The nearest we get to a war of movement - not that I'm complaining. Towards the top, Brian advances in the odd hex and I rout him out of some of them again. Kursk and Orel are in a bit of trouble though.

South




Russians not getting very far, although they seem to enjoy routing when over-stacked during the retreat [:)].

I would be interested to see your defence values for comparison purposes. You're doing nearly as well as I am in my game as the Axis [:D][:D][:'(]

Funny you should ask that. I took the pics you want earlier today but you will have to wait until I post T30

[sillyflower]

For those interested in combat results under the current beta (.08). 3 posts I'm afraid as I don't know how to put them into 1. Hope they are of some interest to Morvael + Denniss as they work on .09 even if no-one else. First here:

2nd



The German s defending @ Zmienca (6 up from bottom) should be thoroughly ashamed. They outnumbered their attackers, killed 352 men, 2 arty and 18 tanks for the loss of only 4 men, but still retreated. For that matter, the 4 were probably only lost during the retreat. Otherwise a grim read for Stalin fanboys as virtually every combat resulted in a counterattack or withdrawl.

3rd



Best /only way to get decent loss ratios as Soviets vs Germans is to get a 'scouted' result which is a little counter-intuitive [&:], or attack the allies.

Thoughts on T27

As with T26, G combat losses during R turn 26 + attrition was only 37K v 47K russian losses and 1 soviet inf xx shattered. In G T27 losses were 2.7K to 9.1K, air 40 to 79. Russian OOB just under 4.6M and axis total just under 5M. For the first time in the game, G AFVs outnumbered R by 4292 to 4244!

Happy to see a mainly static front, but not much Brian can do before .09 comes out, and that might be too late for him unless it v comes v. soon. From reading Loki's posts on both his AAR v Viga and on Brian's thread re retreat rules in the war room, .08 has caused real unfairness to the russians in existing games due to lack of advance testing; not that enough testing can ever be done in advance of major changes and there is a lot of good in .08. WiTE is an excellent subject for the study of the law of unintended consequences [:(]. Its complexity is both a strength and a weakness.

Why don't/didn't you guys put the game on hold till 09 comes along?

BTW I loved the cakewalk joke, best laugh I had in a long time [:)]

[sillyflower]

My other opponent expects .09 in April so my Russians are carrying on because he's doomed anyway. I also could not bear to give him the moral satisfaction.

I could say the same for Brian's winter O [:D] (he's doing his T30) but it would be good manners to offer. Actually it would be a classic oneupmanship ploy so I can't resist......

[sillyflower]

Brian accepted the offer of a pause until .09 comes out, so this AAR will have to mark time too.

[:-][:-][:-] I don't have any problem with waiting for .09 to come out before continuing our game if you so wish [:'(][:'(][:'(]

I do not want to prolong your death throes. That would be bad manners.

[sillyflower]

The duplicitous communists have continued to attack despite the temporary ceasefire. They will not get far.

[sillyflower]

This on opening Brian's turn. I'm not sure whether to shoot the regimental commander for retreating, or to give him a medal for a very skillful delaying action [&:]

[DesertedFox]

How do you spell Pryyhic victory?

A few more of those and Stalin will be seeking terms.

[sillyflower]

Pyrrhic after Pyrrhus, King of Epirus and relative of Alexander the Great.

[DesertedFox]

Lol. I think your commander must have been related to Mandrake the Magician to perform that disappearing
act in front of the onrushing Russian horde.
