I lost this hex but I'm really upset because, until last turn, the commander of the XXXXVI pzK was Manstein.... with him I wouldn't have lost this battle.

So the final result: GHC 3 SHC 1

In the East nothing new



I have now not enough air 6 rating commanders for my Luftflotte...

And surprisingly the front is quiet. I don't understand why.

Once you get the hex to turn ratio positive you got this.

There is a counter to that.

Schascha is 56 hexes from Berlin. It's not enough for the moement but he doesn't advance a hex per turn.

SHC uses a lot of engineers.

I've seen up to 22 per attack.

I think that Schascha wants to optimize every attack. Perhaps he should do more and accept some defeats in order to weaken my OOB

As usual, Schascha hits hard



This result is achieved with only 1 rerserve activation. The final odd is 1.9/1, did the game calculate exactley in order to get the right defensive result?

I loose 2 levels of fortif but the line holds.

GHC 1 SHC 0

And loss of morale for Stavka, there is no other attack during this turn!!

And due to heavy fightings, my air force is also in good shape

Status: offline 		hmm 2 points of intrest:

soviet modified CV is way too low. with 300k men and good organization he should get a skyrocking mod. CV.

and i see no reserve activation for the russians. normals infantry attacks with tanks/cavalery behind in reserve modus with a good leader (initiative).

russian player must use the reserve option often to break through.

concentration of forces helps also. we saw in the current game of terje a stable front situation until the red army made just one single mighty breakthrough. terjey fronts were then liquid and he was forced out of most of his forts to avoid encircelments.

But now I'm completly obsessed by the activisation of my SU attached at my Corps.
If I engaged too much units in a combat, I can have only the 1/3 of them engaged

I have to accept this strange fact, and keep playing without them, even if I spent a lot of AP to attached 3 by Corps.

Status: offline 		the axis player is doing the right thing. he breaks his "schnelle truppen" Mot./PZGr./PD into 3 "kampfgruppen" or regimental combat teams to increase the chance of their reserve activations.

i wonder how well this works on soviet side with tank/mech. regiments?

in my game vs. pelton i have a dozend of my best tank regiments at 100%TOE in reserve modus around moscow. i will report about the activation results.

Status: offline 		Michael, I'll inform you if it's happen.

I did some test about the activation of my attached SU:
- If I engage 9 Corps with 3 SU each, only 18 SU are engaged, and if I add some arty div this number get down.

-If I engaged only 6 Corps my 18 SU are engaged and even some SU can be engaged. One time I can see 25 SU in the battle. But if I engaged some arty div in addition I can loose some of my SU.

One question: what is the difference in the final result between bombardment before the combat or include the arty div in the battle ???

Status: offline 		I think the best way to deal with this is via maneuver units not soviet SUs. If you can get a single corps to join the fight as an offensive reserve, that by itself could be enough to do the trick and ought to trump German breakdowns. Make your attacks in sequence and put a dozen nearby corps in reserve mode (move them out of ZOC if necessary) to maximize chances of getting one into battle.

This game will be off until it's fixed (or he gets an explanation from 2by3)

Status: offline 		Bozo I just resigned our game out of total frustration. Turn 4 and I am getting nothing but holds all over the front even with deliberate attacks.

I don't think the Axis can do squat against a good Soviet player with the current set up and no morale boost.

I may just stop playing for awhile until things change.

Did you get holds in the middle in front of Smolensk? If you want a replay with lower moral settings that would be fine with me. Maybe 101:98? Or maybe switch sides. I don't mind trying 100:100.

Status: offline 		I had 5 holds or so in and around Pskov even with infantry attacking. I switched over to AGC and got 4 more near the landbridge. It occurred to me that if I was having this much trouble turn 4 it was going to be a very frustrating game with the usual result.

Your CVs were amazing so early. Turn 3 you actually made me retreat a motorized division because I could see the hurt approaching!

I will think about another game and let you know.

Sorry to hijack the AAR

Status: offline 		Ketza you should offer Joel and Co access to this game so they can see for themselves what most Axis players now have to face from Soviet players who know how to play the game. Otherwise I fear nothing or very little is going to be done.

Once I decide I am up for some punishment I will probably start another game and do an AAR. I just had an Axis player resign in another game so I have nothing to do
