I just can't figure the time necessary to do it!

An average turn for me takes around five to six hours - which is the reason I never play more than one game at a time.

This knife edge is EXTREMELY sharp I'm walking on two of my games. One is threatening Leningrad pretty well, the other game is threatening Moscow. I may lose them in these games Sheeeeeshhh why did I ever pick the Soviets to play. They are a nightmare early game.

Yes, so I've heard. Fortunately we're both too busy for a rematch [;)]

Interesting to hear how its goes, I think next patch will be abit more balance and realistic in results hopefully. Right now the Axis have all the cake in the early game.

I noticed in the centre you are still being careful to keep the panzers fueled up. Personally when I see empty space I tend to throw the motorised as far forward as possible, to convert as many hexes as possible, to get the infantry as far forward as possible. This is assuming that your motorised will probably need to be fueled up again in a couple of turns anyway, and are not going to be in combat/ threatened by encirclements etc. I just wondered in such cases would you have considered this as an alternative to being certain to keep your panzer corps in a good fuel situation?

To be honest, the reason for the inactivity of my Panzers in the center has more to do with inexperience than with a deliberate strategic choice. Remember that this is only my second effective game playing the Axis.

I was very concerned about throwing my Panzers some 30 hexes in front of my railheads and also well in front of the infantry, as a Soviet counterthrust might cut them off and destroy them before the arrival on the rescuers (remember the +1 soviet attack).

Having given turn nine to HardLuck, I can now say that right now I consider the use (or lack of use) of my center Panzers to have been the biggest mistake I have made so far in the game.

I don't think it was a mistake. Your PZ's would have been sitting there starving for fuel where I set up the Soviets give or take a few hexes. You will be pretty much where everyone else has been on turn 10. I can say though that this is the first game I actually evacuated some industry from Leningrad ;-} That Sir I salute you [&o]
