Here's the lower right corner of the map:

T46's front lines:

T47's front lines. Just one more place yet to reduce:

T48's front lines. Just a little more to do.

T50's front lines:

T51's front lines. Last turn I think.

T53 and the last of the Soviets are gone. Why doesn't the scenario end already?

I pressed end turn and there it was:

Thanks for posting something Josh: Actually John Fogger and I were thinking of playing FITE ( Ron's Mod ) using that new AA-patched
exe. To sort of test it. Anyway, I plan on doing an AAR of the test. So stay tuned.

Thanks a lot Petey. I'm pretty sure it works from the Axis perspective. But the Soviet side might use another playthrough. I'm just not
sure it's balanced for both sides to play you see.

I'll keep an eye pealed for your FITE AAR.

For some reason FitE AAR's never grow old, the scale is just humongous so the AAR's are always epic... if they finish it, but you almost always do.
Will stay tuned for that one for sure.

Thank you Larry for an enjoyable summer. I just completed the lgf version of Barbarossa '41 that I began on June 5. The Axis achieved a Major victory, though I am still not sure I know what I am doing. An awful lot of my units were in red status, whereas you seemed to be able to keep the majority of your units in green or yellow.

Some highlights:

August 6, 1941: Leningrad and Odessa are captured
August 31: Kharkov falls
October 8: Moscow falls and Stalin flees
October 18: Stalingrad is taken

I was not able to completely wipe the map clean of Soviet forces as you did, but it was nonetheless a fun experience.

Thanks again.

A major victory......good for you dude. Way to go. I'm guessing that for the Axis player at least the scenario is very forgiving in that
those minor mistakes I usually make don't lose the game for me. It's a fun scenario, at least for me. I call it FITE LITE. I'm glad you
had fun. Also, I usually wait until the candidate moving unit has at least 50% of supply so that the yellow and orange cases hardly
ever show up Most of the moving units will be light green at the lowest that way. You can adjust that 50% figure to get the
performance you need out of your formations. I'm trying to get a feeling when the balance is right. It's tricky. Lots of red units means
you're pushing them too hard and hardly ever a yellow means there's performance you may be forgoing. I'm not too good at judging
the balance point yet. It's hit or miss w/ me. Practice makes perfect though.

I was only able to wipe the map clean of Soviet forces because I've played that scenario probably 30 times now. I've got it memorized.
Sort of. That's like, a lot of practice.

hello my friends

Good job Larry. Great game. Congratulations.
