Ok here is a cool one. Reqires a change change from rain to snow and the unit doesn't always do it. When it does the 63rd korps moves into Rzhev through a wall of Russian defenders. It is too funny. Here is the save game. http://members.home.net/ryuuko/SAVEB.zip

WOR. That was bizarre to watch. Thanks for spotting this one and posting it. I had seen a few times in computer-computer play where it seemed like all of a sudden the Axis had a corps deep behind Soviet lines, but figured they plotted there. I bet they were doing this airlift thing behind lines like you found, though.

Thanks again.

Pyrolight,

Thats very interesting. You might try placing one of the 12 HQ's you aren't using in Rzhev. A couple of other tips. The artillery factories in Riga, Minsk, and Odessa can be evacuated to the Urals in the first three weeks of the game to save them. You should check the leaders in the Central Front, Voronezh Front, and 2nd Belo Front. You also might want to see what units the Western Front still controls. Also, you can increase the replacement levels of your HQ's, this is especially important for any HQ where you are training air groups as this allows them to fill out to the maximum size. Finally you can have all those HQ's on the board and use their operation points for special supply of your most important front line units, just make sure that you change control back to the front you want to control combat. And make sure that any front controlling combat has some operation points available.

Good Luck,
Svar
