Also be aware of Stalingrad itself, you should only take it if you are sure he can't get it back in the same turn, otherwise there will be a supply bug giving him +2% Supply for the intire game.

greetings.

I'm sorry you're having trouble seeing the turns available. I have no idea what the problemo is. Turn 123 is also available ( for the rest of us I guess ).

Hey, my assigned HRS squads finally hit 33K. Does this mean I can start attacking again in earnest?

I'm thinking of switching over to the defensive mode since my Armies are so depleated and the Soviet '42 Winter Offensive is going to begin soon. That includes some pull-backs to straighten my lines and go for more defensible positions etc. Thoughts? Anybody?

If I were you I wouldn't attack in earnest at all, I'd keep fighting in Russia.

Leningrad situation is kinda funny, gotta respect the Russian spirit

You should pull back in the south - after all you dont wanna get encircled.

The sensible thing would be to pull back, on the other had this is the perfect wargame for winter '42. Without Army group A wandering off in the Caucasus and probably a smaller version of Operation Mars up north. All other elements are there: a fatigued german army in the south, huge massing of russian forces, hidden by maskirova on the russian side.

Could the germans have managed if it had not split up AGS and would Vatutin's plan still be succesfull (now more Saturn than Mars), just be known as the battle of the Don bend

Look at it this way, the guys of 7thFJ HQ won't be alone with christmas, I think, Vasilevsky and Rokkosovski are planning a christmas party at their place and half the RKKA is invited

Maybe you should construct a littlebit (2 or 3) of defensive line, the germans did have a tendency to do that

I meant more Saturn than Uranus of course, and maybe the Encirclement battle of the Don Bend sounds better

When things like this happen what the commander tells his troops is: "Well, the enemy finally fell into our trap...".

It looks like Dave has finally fallen into my trap guys.

The good news is, there seems to be only a few Soviet reserves. The bad news is, there seems to be only a few Axis reserves.

Although, he is without a doubt a very cautios player...the crossing wasn't contested, even the ZOC's weren't, he could have driven straight into your rear area and cause some major havoc.

Yes, he could have caused some MAJOR concern and yes I did leave it unguarded by a major mistake and Dave capitalized on it because he's a better player than I am, I'm learning still,....And I pointed out the greater havoc he could have caused if only he had broken the bridge immediately to the east of one of his TANK units and did he want to play his turn over and capitalize on that little bonus but I haven't heard back from Dave....I hope he's okie dokie.

Well, is that the longest sentence anybody has ever posted?

Sounds to me like you have "no borders" turned on. Once you start a PBEM game you can't turn it off I don't think. But in a hot-seat game I'm thinking you can turn it off maybe. I don't remember. But in my game with Dave it's not an option to turn it on or off. I'm guessing that I had it turned off when I started my game with Dave.

I posted the AAR for turn 127 already.

So this withdraw will make your fighters even more strong. Have you ever looked at the fite word document?

regards pio

As an suggestion for future behaviour, fall back near stalingrad in the mud season and start to consolidate your frontlinies - make yourself a plan where you will need your tank divisions and pzg div. Put only infantry Divisions in the frontlines and watch out where your opponment might start to attack.

In general I think it is time to go over to defend.
