We are 4 turns ahead of the AAR and in fact I begun to counterattack before the frontline reaches the Dvina/Landbridge/Dniepr line. But the situation is far different than 6 monthes ago. My army is far weaker in quantity (AFV and men) and quality (national morale) while the russian one is far better. Several rifle stacks have CV above 60 and some are above 70. Tank stacks are often above 50. It was not the case during the winter.ORIGINAL: Mamluke

I bet once the front settles on the Dnepr and the land bridge we will see the familiarity of the 43 winter. Constant Axis counter attacks against the spear heads, with Stef in command I think he can pull it off! so interested to see if Axis can pull off a stalemate, even if its just for 1 to 2 months.
I could give tactical and strategical reason including the increasing cost of building forts but in fact, I just didn't think about it... Thanks.Stef, why don't you build a fort zone in Osivinovets near Leningrad? you could get a level 5 fort there! and have all the summer to build it, I'm assuming stelteck won't want to station guards rifle corps for this area. .../...

I have mixed feeling of what to do with Leningrad. If i ignore it i will still bleeding victory point one more year.
Especially since the Germans held cities like Moscow for so long. Hard to make up that deficit without taking back what you can when you can.ORIGINAL: Mamluke

that is a good point, logical that the Soviets won't ignore such an Important city.
Leningrad defense looks very solid. Hard to imagine an attack that could break that line until the river freezes, even then it would be tough.ORIGINAL: Stelteck

Man losing those SS panzer divisions must fell like a sharp pain
from the looks of it, they seam like your most powerful divisions excluding Gross-Deutschland.
are you going to lose more of then?

it would appear Tigers are invincible in the combat system.....more of yet another game combat mechanic gone wrong. If you look at ready/dam and tigers in the pool it would means the Germans in almost 2 years of operating Tigers has only taken like 12 total write offs on tigers lol.....guess those 12 invincible vehicles most likely just wore out from driving around and shooting up soviet tanks lol.
So pretty un-realistic by any measure.

ummm looks at historical records on the Tiger BNs- most lost a fair amount of tanks while in action either due to enemy action or mechanical failure--if your retreating from a loss almost all mechanical failures = total losses.
A tiger wasnt as invincible in real life and as German propaganda and history has made it out to be.....also remember Soviets have the 85mm AA gun almost as effective vs ground targets as an 88mm....and they have these from the start of the war basically....also is heavy artillery...AT mines...lots and lots of reasons a tank may be disabled aside from a T34 shell....
If remember right the first one lost in N Africa was from a shell jamming the turret and mechanical failure or some such....so have almost 100% of your tigers left after almost 2 years of combat actions is beyond ridiculous for game mechanics...something is very wrong with loss mechanics/combat mechanics to allow this.
That tiger is in the Bovington tank museum. Still a runner too. You can see where the shell (I think from a churchill tank?) damaged the turret. The crew panicked and legged it.ORIGINAL: chaos45
