Huh? [&:]

Larry, I think you were WINNING, not losing. Sure, he's running out into the empty Steppes of Russia, but you have several items in your favor:

1. MANPOWER: You are in great shape; you hold all the Manpower of the Central Ukraine, and have over 2 mil men in the pool. Hordes!
2. ARMAMENTS: No shortage here either; 3 mil in the pool! The only factory you lost, apparently, was Minsk.
3. LONG LINES: Longest German frontage ever. I am certain he is vulnerable.

You really don't need to stop him from running East. OK, make sure he doesn't take Baku or Chalkov or reach the Urals, but that's it; otherwise, he is doing you a favor crossing the Volga. Start attacking toward Kharkov, which you are only a few hexes away from, and I bet he'll regret those moves.

If Killy wants to, I am offering to continue the SOVIET side of this game. I am very serious. I think you have the Germans right where you want them.

If anyone should be resigning, it's Killy, because he's opening himself up to seriouis trouble

Anyone else think the same?

PS: Good aar regardless

I agree that you have a point Q-Ball. All is not lost here. In any case I've PM'd Larry with a suggestion on another game if he doesn't choose to continue this one.

Congratulations to KLilly on his victory, and to Larry for documenting the fight and sticking it out despite the odds for so long.

I'd be interested in a continuation by Q-Ball though I'm doubtful about whether this can be turned around. The Russians might well have vast stores of men and materiel but they'll not be quick to put into the field - and I suspect klilly can pocket and kill units as fast as they can be formed.

I beg to differ; Killy can't pocket anything, strung-out like that. If anything, he can get pocketed.

I would like to play it out though to test that, but I honestly think Larry has the upper hand here

It will take awhile to get all that stuff in play, but a there is plenty of fuel in the pool to keep an offensive going

Um.........I've had a request from M60A3TTS to play a multiplayer game but I had already been asked and answered by KLilly himself.  Anybody out there interested in a 3-way multiplayer game?  Or maybe we can put two 2-way multiplayer games together.  I'm game for either.  

EDIT: Oh.....and the game KLilly and I were playing was on the server so I don't know how to get a copy of it to anybody. Maybe the server master can help out here. Just a thought. I'd like to think I was winning too but it would have taken the rest of the game to bring KLilly under control I'm thinking.
