Building Soviet Units

[Wheat]

My oh my. What have you done now GR? Apparently I am being challenged by legions of angered German fanboys. Gulp!
And I didn't even start the trouble.

To my forum compatriots, clearly, GamesaurusRex needs to be put down. I have tried valiantly, but only got to Grozny. For my failure, I apologize. If it's any consolation, he won't get to Berlin.

My play is nothing miraculous. AS I SAID, and so many of you have echoed, he needs to play the German side to realize they are not supermen. I had the advantage of playing several games vs AI as the Germans prior to our two games. The first game was badly compromised in favor of the Germans, and was a rout. So, in our current game he ran far and fast, thus my alleged competent play. I simply took what was given. He NEEDS to play the krauts.

He made a typo in a post btw, I took Stalingrad and Moscow in 42, not 43. By 43 the Soviets are too strong to push around.

I love this post too...

Why? Because it clearly shows that my capable German side opponent believes he has this game in the bag...
and maybe he does... (Great ! This should be the German state of mind generated by a simulation of the "War In The East" before the illusion of invincibility is washed from his eyes.)

Will the washing happen ? Who knows ? It has to be played out...
but it is only October 1943 and the Russian Army is 8 million in the field and climbing...
no supply, truck, or armaments constraints courtesy of things I learned from Flaviusx (yes, I "learned" from good advice given here... something some of you seem to think me incapable of...lol)

According to a number of opinions here, this situation is supposed to reverse itself based upon TOE changes, continued Soviet buildup, etc. Time will tell.

None of this has anything to do with or mitigates my criticism that the mechanics of the 41-42 time period does not allow for a satisfactory "dog-eat-dog" Russian forward defense in the early stage of the game.
