Nice ! against the AI, I presume but still, it's really impressive. Do you expect to take Bakou ? or Stalingrad ? or Both ?

No, against a human player (see the Multiplayer thing). Well done!

Its vs a live opponent, I have gotten some very good breaks through the game.

I'll post losses and stuff and another SS of the front when I get the turn back. The russians are running out of guys, and it seems like there is a lot of static russian forces that cant manuever to deal with the threats on their flanks.
Its a bad sign for the russians when the germans are starting to overrun factories in late '42 ....

Turn 64 on the Finnish Front

Russian army is starting to fall apart.... They seem to be just running out of counters. Plus I think this entire part of the map is in static mode so they cant react to an attack at all.

For the bean counters .. Turn 64

The captured value for the soviets is a lot lower than what has actually been captured .. My understanding is that as Hiwi's are created, the captured pool goes down.

Can he still ship oil out of Baku, across the Caspian Sean? But then again, it doesn't matter how much oil you have if you don't have any units to feed it to.

As far as I can tell Baku is a primary supply source and is always connected to the supply net. No idea if oil is going to play a factor at all.

The only mistake that I saw was he stayed maybe one turn too long before a pocket closed .... that started the snowball effect. As far as the Blizzard, I did my best to fall back and not become decisively engaged ... I still lost 7 or 8 divisiions encircled and surrendered.

As far as Army Command over here we are not currently hiring, but will take an application and keep it on file [;)]

The storm clouds are gathering
And the air grows chill
Look at the red army
Swarming over the hill

We will see what I have left to swarm with at the end of your summer of 42!!

Russian army is shattering, I dont think there is any hope for them at this point.

The snowball gets bigger and faster the more it rolls downhill.

Congratulations on your (soon to be) victory :)

By Turn 64 you had destroyed 600 division equivalents - impressive!

And now you've surrounded another 60-70 divisions or so.

Snowballing is the right term.
