Thanks for the AAR, some very interesting points.

Does anyone know what the graphic mod that Loveman1 is using? I do like the RR hexes.

I am not sure of the rail mod I got it from fogger

RUSSIAN NORTHERN ARMIES

RUSSIAN CENTRE ARMIES

RUSSIAN CENTRE ARMIES 2

As you can se from my pictures any MLR line that is in the path of the Russian advance will not last long the Russians have a huge amount of artillery to blow a hole in any line.
A mass of tanks is heading towards Berlin and nothing will stop it from what I can see.[&o]

Thanks Loveman1.

Fogger, what is the RR mod your using? I like the black rails, reminds me of days long past...

Hi Zovs
Send me your email address and I will email it to you
cheers

Note on map for scenario designers / maintainers. Polish city shown as "RANDOM" should read "RADOM".

Jesus Christ that's A LOT of units. How can you not go mad moving them? A relatively tame scenario like Hungary 1944 almost worn me down because of the number of Soviet units I had to move; can't imagine dealing with the scale of FITE-like ones.

The start of turn 318. Willie has already broken my next MLR. I was going to prepare another line Yellow dashs but I think Willie will be on top of it before it is ready. Willie has 3 choices but with the strength of his army I think he may be able to do all three at the same time.

My choices are now do I pull everything back to the last MLR and use it as a delaying position while I fill every hex within the Berlin area or do I defend the last MLR for as long as possible. I have to hold on for another 82 turns to get a draw.

82 turns seem a lot. Do you think it's possible to hold the Red Tide that long?

I am not sure. To be able to hold out that long I need to keep Willie away from Berlin defensive area for as long as possible. The Berlin defensive area is circle with a radius of 10 hexes and each hex is entrenched to 100%. I already have 2 rings of anti tank guns and 1 ring of arty dug in and approaching 150% supply level. This turn I held back some replacements and started digging them in on the outer ring.

My last MLR is quickly filling out to 2 hexes deep. Hopefully he will out run his supply lines before he hits it. I am setting up delaying positions but at present Willie is overrunning them like a tsunami.

Map notes. "Frankfurt de Oder" should read "Frankfurt an der Oder" or "Frankfurt a. d. Oder". The town to the north would have been named Küstrin (Kostryzn is the post-1945 Polish name.) Also, "Lukenwalde" should read "Luckenwalde", and "Temlin" should read "Templin".

Re: game. Yeah, those are going to be a long 82 turns.

Cheers

That fortifications are impressive, indeed.
