Great AAR.

Terje I think you handle the constructive criticism, which isn't always framed constructively, very well!

Thank you, and kudos on the nickname [&o] GREAT movie!!
I think criticism on the board is not ment as an attack/insult towards the player, but more of a "argh! I KNOW I could do better than him", and most probably could hehe.

Thats one more victory point, 38 to go

Yes, and so few turns to do it in [X(]
Anyone know the VP count for Rumania from the top of their head?

It ain't over till its over! [;)] keep at him,the south looks close to unhinged.

The south is a mess (from the Axis point of view, glourious from my point of view), I estimate that I will enter Rumania in 2 turns max.

Turn 218

Apologies
Allready offered the same apology to my opponent, but due to work related issues I have not been able to do my turn in some days.
Also, I took the easy route in regards to the "pools" coloumn [:D]

Overall
In the centre the Axis fall back to the riverline just east of the Pripjet (too exhausted atm to remember the name of the river), but we force a bridgehead this turn. We make somewhat fewer attacks this turn, with a total of 96. 16 held, 61 retreat, 8 rout and 1 shatter means that losses are between "low" and "ok";
Axis : 81.000 troops and 339 AFVs
USSR : 91.000 troops and 390 AFVs.

Units
9 TACs are sent to the reserves this turn. A few of our units in the south have spend a few turns behind the line, and are back with a vengeance (how about a 21 CV Guards Rifle Corps? [:)]).
Our units on the ground claim a net growth of 39.000 troops this turn.

Pools
See below.

Liberation
The red and yellow flag once more flies over Gomel.

Units destroyed
The 8th Rumanian Cavalry Division shatters under the pressure put up by our brave lads.

Axis VP
177.

Partisans
10 units remain after the Axis chase 4 units away. Our guys manage 6 sabotague missions this turn.

Any chance of a front picture?

Hello

Only a suggestion:

If you have 38 turns left you may exchange Marshal Kulik ( North Caucasian Front)with Ivan Bagramyan . He have a far better imitative rating and help the attached army’s if the dice roll failed.

Omat

he is already done with 8/16/45 he has i think some 4 or 5 turns left,i forgot when in September the GC ends.[:D]

Great job almost finishing...are you going to try the other side next game?

or are you going to try again as the Russians now that you have a better idea of how to play them?

The Finns are probably a little surprised their involvement in the war has gone so long. [:D]
