The last thing posted in his AAR was by me. It reads "You're gonna get some armor isolated in AGN."
[:D]
LOL!
P.S.: back to the WitE sig [:)]

Molotov is wondering if it was just his imagination...."Wasn't someone just right there?"

Yes, Molotov look is rather sinister

It's like he was thinking: "
mwahahahaha... poor bastard... if you knew you are about to get some...". And the poor victim proudly walks behind Stalin, possibly thinking "
wow, people! look at me! I'm someone!"
Uncle Joe had other plans though [8D]

The Presidium of the Supreme Soviet has directed that Comrade TulliusDetritus be awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.
Along with the rank Marshal of the Soviet Union.
In addition, it is directed that a Guards Rifle Division be named for him.

Detrinsky Tullovich Guards. Look for them at the front of the assault on Paris.

Nice job TD. I was wondering if you would see the move on the Rumanian border to pinch that southern armor. The counter attack on top of it is gold. I honestly don't know of 2ndACR is messing around with a new strat or what, but this is not his first try at the Axis. Not really sure what he is thinking of moving the German armor around like that. Its one thing to be aggressive and try to push the advance, but a person can't make crazy mistakes while he is at it either.
Be interesting to see how this plays out, but it isn't looking good for the Germans right now.

TD has brought in a lot more units than I have normally seen in an AAR. I suspect that is what has surprised 2ndACR. Most Soviets seem to try to setup at Pskov.

Yeah. And his loosely pocketed units were sufficiently mobile once the isolation was broken to move into excellent position. TD has untilized the units at his fingertips to great effect. So, interesting going from here. Maybe the Chinese "interesting" for 2ndACR.

I'm not sure if I well understood, sorry [8D] "
[...] if you would see the move on the Rumanian border to pinch that southern armor"? I was looking for a gap, and there it was

Or are you suggesting that my opponent wanted me to do that? To activate Romanians (I really don't know if they are activated or not: never touched the Axis side)? Could be [:)]

LOL Not a good idea though [:D] Knowing me, I would keep them out of harm ways... parading all day and night long. They would soon become an alcoholic mob only good to loot and pursue nurses or any woman which moves

Mynok, this is one of the things I learned on my other game [:)] True, on my other game I didn't hide near Pskov but I wasn't next to the Panzer spearheads either (if I remember correctly). When I finished my AAR one of my conclusions was:
no free spaces for Panzers, NOTHING. ZOCs, ZOCs and more ZOCs. I will stick to it because 1) that's what the experts say and most important 2) I am much more confident now, after that first game [8D] So I doubt I'll be running away. I will wait for my opponent. The good thing? If he does not play his cards correctly (which is possibly the case now) you are rather close to the enemy and then...

I think you took off the whole head. That's if you believe the theory that once behind, always behind, though.
His supply states should be ok yet, though.
This is fun to follow...[:D]

Yes, where you moved into Rumania. They were already active from the German units moving down there. I had wondered if you would see to move the two mountain units into Rumania to cut off those units. I just don't see how he didn't anticipate that move. You did and I am going to guess the first thing out will be a aww sh** moment for him. [;)]

If Comrade Tullovich gets a Rumanian surrender roll......well....let's just say that 2ndACR is a combat vet and will absolutely empty his vast vocabulary of expletives. There might be a rule I've forgotten or never knew preventing that but I don't recall one.
Indeed, if that does happen I believe 2ndACR's wife will be buying paint.

I believe the early Romanian activation is something that just the Axis player can perform.
The Ruskie player should be aware that his units in the area can also be victimized by the 'freeze' situation; a unit north of the line, moved to the south of the freeze line ( I believe the freeze line begins at Y 97 ) will freeze, like the Sov units already frozen, until the Romanians are unfrozen.
I've seen 2ACR busy in the "Axis 1st turn" threads; he may be trying out something new.

I have had Russian units go into "freeze mode" if you move them too far south, so that sounds right. So if you move them down there, make sure you get them to where you want them on that turn.

Anyone know if Rumanian surrender was risked here? Need to read those rules.

No chance on the surrender in 1941 unless Bucharest is Russian controlled.
