AGN, OMG stacks and stacks of Russian!!! I cross the river, but Pitman is all in and there is nothing behind the front lines.

AGC its early so I am going for the industry crunch so I take some chances early.

AGS has a nice advance going and a small pocket is formed near Romanian.

The interface for your game looks different from mine.

AGN gets pushed back across the river and faces a 20+ CV wall, but 4th PG manages to push just to south of the wall.
Pitman is all in fighting forward the same crazy style as TDV, this could be a very interesting game.

AGC panzer get cut off, this is going to be bad for a few turns.

Again Pitman is very aggressive, using allot of cav units to push between my divisions. I am guessing like TDV he is spending his APs on cav divisions

AGS finishes of the small pocket formed turn 2 and forms 2 more pockets, both with 10-12 units.

Fighting forward in the south so early is generally not a good idea.

Cavalry divs are 20AP a pop early on. But in 1941 the Soviets can conserve APs if they don't go crazy on other stuff.

Been playing around with first couple turns for the Soviets myself, I dont think he has built and sent a cavalry division into the front.

Maybe he pulled one from somewhere but highly doubt its a newly created one. Can think of a ton of better things for the Soviets to spend APs on early.

Support units for one.....and second is re-organizing you army after the messy state that the initial attack leaves you. I have found that no matter what year I start the game in re-oganizing the Army of either side take almost a full year of Admin points especially when emergency relocations/admin costs of moving divisions between commands is accounted for. Then you have to completely re-arrange support units in many instances.

Not to mention the amount of dud generals that need replaced on both sides. Was amazed at the amount of skill 4-5 German generals in the infantry corps in 41, and its telling I figured it out because I was getting annoyed at failure in some sectors then looked at the commanders and was like ohh thats why.

You never played TDV, best games I have played two date by a long shot.

He is completely out side the box as am I.

Might try and see if he is interested in a 3rd game

They can't be new ones, as new ones are frozen for a few (2 or 4?) turns and you are just at turn 3.

Cav divs are actually 40AP in the beginning, so these have to be regular ones

I should not have tried to defend in the south as hard as I did. Pelton sent two panzer divisions to Rumania and that caught me off guard. I will know better next game.

Pitaman.

True. I fool did build 3 in October for 40AP and from November they cost 20AP [:@]

AGN forms a pocket near Pskov. Pitman is all forward with next to nothing behind the front lines.

AGC is bogged down for now.

AGS forms another pocket of 13 divisions and panzer cross the river. Pitman is doing a good job of moving industry, but taking huge losses early.

AGN has the pocket broken, so it’s resealed and a few infantry divisions get a breakthrough just below the heavy fighting. Pitman is getting very high CV despite heavy losses, I am impressed. But his all forward fighting is costing him and at some point his army will simply fall apart. I am not going to get an industry KO, but I take the next best thing destruction of the Red Army.

AGC finally disengages its panzers and infantry finally get to the front. I be looking to pocket whatever I can or do a left hook around the land bridge.
