Stalingrad H2H AAR with questions

Post by Major_Johnson »

Well I just got done playing my brother in this fine scenario, but it ended way too soon, after about 12 turns (supposed to be 60) and I'm wondering why. Hopefully someone can shed a little light. First let me say that we started the scenario in the regular SPWAW, not the H2H. I realised there was allot of descrepancies (sounds and icons) and looked into it and found that we had been playing it in the wrong version. So around turn 6 we started playing it in the correct version. Please let me know if that may have been a factor in the game ending so soon.

I was the Soviets and my brother was the Germans. I was holding my own in the beginning, then he just started rumbling over me and made it to the Volga in 3 locations. My big dilemma was that all my reinforcements were on the other side of the river and had to be transported by barge. Now we are all familiar with the problem of not being able to load barges to their capacity during a game, (in fact I have a recent thread about it in the main forum). Anyway he was chewing up my infantry pretty bad, and had routed almost all of my tanks and made the crews bail, then he just cut them down. But my fix fortifications were really accurate on his vehicles! I had finally gotten around 5-6 tanks across the river in this last turn and was able to take out some more of his tanks. I set my artilery and ended my turn, and the next thing I knew the game ended giving me a margina victory! Now of course I blasted off my brother an email right away getting the last taunt in! :P But I am puzzled as to why the game ended so early when I know my brother had plenty of units left, or at least I think so. Also, why I got the marginal victory?

I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts. Also, does anyone know if version 8 is going to rectify the issue with barges only being able to load one unit at a time during a battle?? Thanks!
