I have to depart to defend a fair number of quarters on the links. Sorry for my "densitude", still can't figure out what one can't do with this HR. I am very curious, just finishing 1575 turns of AE with a Dane whom had the better of me and graciously obliged to a CG of WITE. By the way, a very nice AAR Silly, easy to follow with some nice tidbits on S&T.

ps. I know some people are offended by smoking monkeys, but it actually reflects my Friday happy hour look nicely. [:'(]
pss. I'm a lot older the simian.

"No monkeys were actually harmed making this Avitar"

I don't get the 1:1 to 2:1 reasoning???

ps. Does this deny "soak offs"?

I will not nor am I speaking for Sillyflower .. but WITE is started pretty wacky in calculating casualties that will only really be fixed in WITE 2.0. This rule certainly limits exploiting multiple attacks with a sole purpose of takening advantage of attrition. I await Sillyflower's thoughts.



(Note: Sillyflower beat me to it in the post above)

I may be misunderstanding something, but the 'no 1 to 1 to 2:1' option only affects some the combat results as determined by the computer during the early months of the game -see the manual. It does not stop anyone making any attacks. Brian is an afficionado of soak off attacks but IMHO it has done him more harm than good over the course of the game due to the morale effect on both sides.

you only have to look into its eyes to see the classic 'stoner' look

Thanks for clarifying this
There is the algorithm with 2:1 attacks that become a "recon in force" with less casualties and increase detection of the defender if an initiative roll is passed .. I wonder if that is affected

I do understand that true "soak off's" are really not applicable since ZOC does not obligate the attacker to attack. When AH advertised "You are the German High Command ..." I did wonder if in WWII Model was calculating "Ok that inf division can soak off 1-6 so those 6 armor divisions can get 2 3-1's ..."

my vestibulitis has returned. Meds work but destroy my brain. Game + aar will be on hold for 1-2 weeks

Get well Silly!

The russian hordes can wait for a week or two

yeh silly,

engage the soviet communism, socialism and stalinism with german infantry, artillery and tanks.

The brave Sillyflower, seen here being decorated by the Fuhrer, expects to return to the front next week.

what the hell happened to your eye silly?:)

Since that uniform indicates he is a member of the SA, I assume he got that in a street brawl with a communist sympathizer.

Look, he brougt flowers for the Führer.

Isn't that slightly "feminine" for the SA?

OK, OK I admit it was not a picture of Sillyflower. The real SF is my wife and she's the 1 on the right below. Admittedly not a recent pic but she's still perfect.

Having met the real Sillyflower recently, I confirm.

Better watch out Brian, the Silly-str only roles out the big guns for special occasions.

And for the frivolous types, you may be pleased to recall the imbroglio over loosing the "Big Four" cities in '41, M/L/V/R, curiously now game three and only L gone, and the Red oob very similar to games one and two (all lost), t50/55 ish or so.

You are an exemplar of the french gentleman, Stef.

On lower dosage of meds so I tried doing a turn vs another opponent, but did some silly things including bad mis-clicks, so this game on hold for a few more days.

Seem to have recovered and only remaining problem is sleep deprivation as we are spending alternate nights with a dog recovering from surgery. He's fine but we have to stop him doing anything silly. Have just done my T122 and only on the final final check did I notice that i had left a large hole after moving some units away

T120

losses 9.8 to 25.4K; air 31 to 474 but that's all I wrote down and I can't remember anything else though I did take this picture for some reason

"We have left a hole in the lines to lure enemy units in so that they can be trapped and assimilated into our growing HiWi helpers"
Very smart of you [:D]

T121

Losses not recorded for some reason.

A bit of line readjustment as I expect the sniveling Brianites to take advantage of this turn being the last clear one for 4 weeks, to leap forward in a way they have not done earlier.




The circled airbases are the ones which would not fly - until Morvael explained in the tech forum that the fault was mine not the game's.
