How badly am I doing? (Axis vs AI Dec 41)

[fcam1387]

Joel - how do I attach a save game? Doesn't seem to work when I try to upload the file.

Thanks

you may need to zip it (use the windows facility to do this) as there are only a few accepted file extensions. Also makes it a wee bit smaller

[fcam1387]

No, unfortunately even compressed the file still exceeds 2mb.

[loki100]

use wetransfer then and post a link.

you don't need to sign up for an account, it just gives you a url that allows someone else to download the file(s)

So...I'm playing as Germans (1941 campaign, soviet normal AI) and by September 1942 I have inflicted 7.8M soviet casualties (roughly 3.8M captured and 2.2m killed).
And yet, they still can keep their army at around 5M and on my last turn 480k reserves were released to "defend motherland" (I'm very close to Moscow so I guess that triggered this event).
My question is -how many more MP Soviets have left?
I now start to understand how Germans must felt in RL...no meter how much Soviet divisions I destroyed, more just keep coming.

look at this AAR - https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=5063609

may help you put your game into context, in the end I came within 10 pts and 4 turns of an auto win on 1 Jan 43

Historically the Soviets lost 6 million killed and captured by the end of 1942 and still had around 6 million at the front.

You can post up to 10 MB in the tech support area of the forum, so you can start a thread there if you want to post a larger file and then link from here if you want to.

I'm at November 15th 1942, and here are the stats (Soviet AI on Normal).

So, much more than historical 6M loses by end of 1942...and still Soviet army is at 5.8M (was keeping them around 5M but mud turns allow it to rebuild).
Am I fighting against unlimited MP Soviet AI then [:)]?
