Stalin's in the gulag, I'm in charge! II - vs 2ndACR (Axis)

[PeeDeeAitch]

Remember to never use your cavalry, don't cut off any divisions, and that any advance of more than one hex a month is foolhardy.

Follow these and you will lead the Axis to success!

(oh wait, right, you aren't playing the Axis)

Overall, this has been a quite historical Blitzkrieg. And given that I don't think the Germans are invulnerable at all = the '41 summer campaign was well designed after all. The Soviets should be able to hold Leningrad, Moscow, because if I did it on my two games, everyone should do it (I mean, this should be the rule, not the exception) [:)]

I think you are underestimating the difficulty of holding Lgrad, after all it has fallen in almost all of the AARs. The fact that it has not in your two AARs is partly a function of your skills and presumably partly a function of the skills and strategies of your opponents.

Good job Tullius, would love to see 2ndACR bounce back though after the Blizzard. Ohwell maybe next time then.
And [&o] for the AAR.

I already miss the old sig. It was so appropriate and so educational: very few people even knew old "what's his name"'s name until you educated us. Now he's a non-person again. [:D]

And that's the way Stalin wants it.

Sorry to see this game end this soon. I would have wished you to get your part of the fun during first blizzard and all the way to Berlin.

Thanks for your great AAR, you invested a lot of time to give us real good insights in how a solid and active early soviet defense can look like. I hope we'll see more of you in the near future. [:)]

[TulliusDetritus]

No no, you got it wrong. I CONTINUE the game. I simply f*ck off to the WitP forum [:D]

[cookie monster]

Your AAR was one of the most read and commented upon in the whole section.

Why are you not continuing?

[TulliusDetritus]

Simply because I don't feel comfortable here, that's all. I'm no masochist so I leave.

[Aditia]

this is the sig from hell ./o\

[TulliusDetritus]

Just let this thing die and reach the bottom of the page, please [:)] R.I.P.

[Klydon]

Sorry TD, I can't let this one go without my 2 cents in here.

You have great AAR's that many people find entertaining and are obviously interested in. (lot of views, etc).

Don't let some idiot who is mad at the world ruin it for the rest of us over the signature crap. If he has heartburn with it, then he is more than free to use the green button and not bother visiting this AAR.

I agree.

[Mynok]

Do not let trolls drive you away. That is what they want.

Use the green button on him.

[pompack]

What they said

I have learned a great deal just watching the way you worked the 41 defense. Now I want to see how you do the blizzard

Well, good to hear this game is not over for you.

I just hope you can reconsider your decision not to continue this AAR because of trolling incidents. I'd really miss this lecture, I learned a lot here and it really was good entertainment so far.

[TulliusDetritus]

I appreciate what you say [:)] The truth is I am having fun playing the game (and that's what really matters) and I am also having fun doing this AAR (I try to keep it humourous, as Cookie Monster said, you don't have to take "war" too seriously). This was not supposed to be a guide that might help other players. Just like on my other game I was expecting to lose Moscow, Leningrad... [:D] So I guess all I need is to stay away from the general forum and stay on this AAR section. And that's what I will be doing. I am still waiting for the patch, since that's what 2ndACR wants.

76mm, maybe I am underestimating what the Germans can do when an utter competent player is in charge [:)] But maybe you are underestimating what the zillions of Soviet counters can do. These MANY forces can be put to very good use.

I do not think I am that good (I only played like 50 PBEM turns, that's not a lot). And of course I don't think 2ndACR is an utter incompetent, not even close. We are basically playing on the same league so I have to conclude that yes, your most vital places CAN be defended. But you have to concentrate your forces. As I already said somewhere the Germans are ALREADY concentrating their forces (the Panzer Armies: that's a lot of mobility and fire power in x place). It would be idiotic to not do the same (as the Soviet). It would be like fighting with one arm tied behind your back.

I mean, the Soviets are not that doomed during the Blitzkrieg. If they were I should agree with those who defend the "German Supermen" thing.

As for the blizzard, I really have no idea, Pompack. I will push my opponent back, that's 100% certain [8D]

[PeeDeeAitch]

TD, I can understand why sniping, comments, and other assorted idiocy can get you down - it has happened (happening) to me. No need to bolt. Just don't put me on green.

[Reconvet]

I fully agree with PeeDee.

I'm not a veteran forum participant, still doing my first active steps, and my first conclusion: Don't let yourself get dragged down by idiots, don't get tempted to try and reason with hopeless ignorants.
