Hi everybody. I have posted in the war room my first 17 turns as the axis...not quiet good. Did not take Leningrad, did not capture enough soviets and did not destroy enough industrys. Lost a lot of Tanks. But my opponent is playing is first GC too and now that is has got the initiative, who knows, he will do some mistakes and I may survive this blizzard. We play random weather on. There will be always around 27 % of probability that we get some snow instead of blizzard in December in the central weather zone, 9 % (only ! [:@]) in the North soviet zone and 36 % in the south [8D]. It gets a little worse in January...
Turns 18,19,20...mud...nothing much happend. A good rest for my panzers.
Turn 21. Some snow...did nothing but the soviets began to move.

KRIVOI ROG 5

Turn 39. I am lucky, snow is falling on the south soviet zone, my panzers will be abble to move, specially those arrived in Odessa after two weeks of train.
My opponent takes the situation seriously, many units arrived in the Krivoi rog area. This is a battle inside the battle. Traemyn emailed me to congratulate me for my last move...he was hoping for a mud turn...we got snow...I was quiet excited and anxious when I open my turn ! If I can capture all those 30 russians divisions, I would for sure drink a fresh beer (anyway, I will have one this evening)

after my move...

The soviets did not withdraw at all...the battle continue...
