Loki you should no doubt of skill of chairman.
To capture Odessa in Turn 2 you must create a panzer corps in the south(exactly 5 hexes from the city) in the first turn and moving directly to the city.
Btw, did You never inflict 14k soviet losses against a human? I usually inflict 1oK in the first turn...

Ah!! This is not a standard scenerio. You CREATED a Pz Corps in the south with EDIT scenerio. That is a whole new ball game. Yes i could cause 14K losses to the soviets in that case but did'nt the soviets get to modify their set-up? If they did and still lost Odessa and 14K of troops then they are still a 4 year old or the computer. If i was the soviets and we modified the scenerio then you would not have odessa and you would have caused about 1000 squad losses(if not less. Border guards and all that). In the only MODIFIED '41 game i played as soviets i lost just under 1500 squads as the soviets in the first 2 weeks.

Nick

PS. Do i doubt your skill? No, but then i would say that to anyone i have not played.

No the panzer corps were from Germany, the 40:th under OKH, reinforced with modern tanks and some more to give it abit more in staying power.
I railed it down to Constansa on turn 1 and attacked on next round that broke thruu the screening force in front of Odessa and kicked out that force in there.

I have to say that I were lucky around Tarnopol sins both those Tank armies shatterd under the weight of 2 or 3 Panzer korps attacking.

I tried to engage as many tank armies as possible on the first turn and managed to kill some 4100 first week.

Chairman explains well the trick. I have never use the Edit
I only created the corps and reinforced with pz div by railtransfer. I maked that against Mist and he said "good trick" nothing about Edit.

Btw the 10k soviet initial losses are only in the fronts of AGN,AGC and AGS. In Bessarabia sector the losses come later <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

September 41

Rumours are saying that German panzers have been cut off and destroyed outside Moscow, no reports are comming out of German held areas.

So far this war has cost thousends of deads for Germany, even more losses for Soviet.

There is a German report that happend to "surface" in Stockholm.

TO OKH:

German losses in the east have been acceptable but are increasing more than expected.

German losses:

Manpower: 475000
Panzers: 2600
Artillery: 3100
Airplanes: 2900

Soviet losses are guessed:

Manpower: 3100000
Tanks: 9800
Artillery: 17500
Aircrafts: 18000

Of enemy tanks, artillery & airplanes about one third is repairable.

END MESSAGE

So another one of those facist lapdogs who think he can invade russia without paying the prize for his foolishnes.Rumours about a German PZ-corp being surronded in the nearby of Moscau is true?

Hitler is cheewing on a table!! (In PRAVDA today)

Yet another German Panzer corp have been encircled outside Moscow gates.
This one contains "In""Famous"" divisions GD and LA Panzer Grenadiers. Shall this bee the second Panzer corp to bee taken?????

For 3 weeks they have tried to break out but the mud have stopped them.

Acording to sources within German high Command the wrong order were sent to a very wrong corp wich sent it to a bad place

1941-10-26 Snow!!!

During the last days bitter cold have changed to a light snowing and the German Panzers and infantery korps jumped into action, losses were high on both sides but Hitler have given the order
to attack and attack until panzer grenadier divisionen GD have been avenged.
