ORIGINAL: Wuffer Back to Telumar's warning: The Germans could not afford such losses in the long run. A real strategic game turner could be a deep strike and meeting of the spearheads in the big area of Lake Illmen. To achieve this, the circled troops in pic 529 didn't need to cross the Luga in the direct way to LG, they could easily run straight east. I do not have the strength to do that now. I have been hitting my head against a brick wall attacking dug in units. My losses are too heavy. Every time I find a hole in Larry’s defense he quickly plugs it. He is on interior lines. In the south look at how many turns it took me to reduce the Stalin Line and Odessa. The centre is WW1 trench warfare. Most of my units are running on red and in a few turns the mud comes and then I will be between a rock and a hard place, come winter. I think my main problem / s will be with the "flooded marsh" hexes as they are impassable at present but I think they will freeze over in winter. If you study the map you will see that there are large holes in my lines that I can not cover at present. With winter I think Larry is going to be able drive deep into my rear. So at present I have to work out a way to keep the pressure on Larry, build up my supply, rebuild many of my units, work out where Larry is going to attack come winter, then prepare my defensive positions on the GTI, then work out my counter attack routes and objectives. And if I am wrong…….
