Sorry, haven't checked on the forums for a bit, but yes, I will share what I can tell you :) He is actually better and more versed at playing the Soviets than the Germans. It really showed to me from read this, he really underestimated Leningrad in my opinion. He really thought he would have his way around Moscow, and you shut him down nicely there. You will probably beat on him in winter, but I doubt he will throw in the towel. The loss of a million Germans shouldn't do much to slow down a real mad man! Congratulations, you will get to be the 2nd person to take him into 1942, I got be 1st at the Germans, and that wasn't easy (in fact, I am in line for a real butt kicking, even though he doesn't think it, lol). Haven't talked to him in over a week right now, so haven't kept up in the latest action. He is a very dangerous opponent and makes up strategies you won't get most places. He masters the operational and logistic scales of games, and that's why he like to play me, as that is what I focus on too. For some reason, I am just not getting into this quite as much as he is, so is at least one order of magnitude ahead on me in this game. Once done with this game, and you play him again, expect him to not make some of the same mistakes, ie: Leningrad. I really couldn't speculate on what else he will take away from this game, but he will change it up, and make it rather.....interesting. PS: Pelton, if you want a game with him now, let me know. He isn't one to shy away at playing 6 games at once, and I am pretty sure he would fit you in. He doesn't forum too much, so let me know and I will call him. I have been wanting him to step up and check out how he would do, because he won't get much new from anyone else. His lack of 1942 experience and beyond will show up, I would suspect.
