Can you imagine playing a scenario that's 6 km per hex side? It's got a tactical feel to it that I just love. The terrain you chose to park
on does matter a lot when defending. I'll bet John is having a blast sweeping aside all those Soviet units. Great game so far. Thanks
for your question Petey dude. Keep those good questions coming.

south. My units won't cross over the broken RR bridge hex and so there's no way to get there. You have to go all the way around by
taking a huge detour. D'oh.

making good progress.

This is not a mistake. If you had an engineer with major ferry ability you could cross the river and provide supply across that point as well.

Here is a section of the OKH situation map for 3 August 1941. No bridges. That little boat picture where the bridge should be is a ferry.:

Well well well. I've learned something. Thanks for your post. I guess, then, that the original FITE map is wrong in that one little detail.
Now I know. Thanks.

I get aggressive when I drink. It's a small-man complex psycological syndrome that is surprisingly common in the human population.

EDIT: Also, I should also admit that I shouldn't be attacking in the more northern areas around Leningrad but it's just so much fun to
be attacking and my men are surprisingly compliant. It's like they are volunteering.

Status: offline 		The scale of this map is soooooo low, and the abundance of airfields is so adequate, that I can run the airplanes right up to the front
line and get the most mileage out of their range. I've got the bombers on interdiction and the fighters on AS at the one-dot setting so
as to minimize the losses due to the difference in experience, training, equipment, etc. Some of the proficiencies of my pilots is still
in the sub-20 range. I'm pressing them into duty anyway because I feel like I need every airplane that will fly just about now. And I've
been getting double hand-fulls of airplanes as reinforcements so I've been resting them until they are above 60% readiness and then
flying them to the front lines somewhere to take up some of the slack. My AS status should increase next turn because of all the new
fighters employed just this turn. And the new interceptors should help hamper the Axis advance a little bit.

You will definitely have to have your Pontoon Units planned ready to be used in key areas for crossing super rivers and converting those rails. In the 1st FITE there were a lot of bridges where there really were none. When I made this map I tried to keep it as close to real as possible.

Status: offline 		The upload limit on this particular forum is 500 K bytes and so I can't make my pictures very big and I'll have to do the panarama overview
of the front lines in sections. This is the northern section. The Fogger dude gave us a picture of his units advancing and you saw all
the various units moving NE fanning out moving quickly spreading out like water spilled on a floor.

EDIT: All the red units you see are my roadblockers and nar'do well's. They are hopefully going to buy me enough time to get all the
reinforcements to their front line positions in time to block the Germans from getting into Leningrad and so on. The rail cap is pity-full
and useful for only a handfull of formations at a time. This is a foot race and it appears John is winning.

over the rivers and parking units in ways to delay John's advance. It's not working very well. He's advancing at a rapid pace and my
reinforcements aren't nearly in position yet. It's looking really iffy in this part of the lines.

try to blow the bridges and rails and get into good blocking positions. I have no illusions about holding out in this terrain. Also, I'm
aware that John has engineers and can leap across rivers without much break in stride.

I'm trying to save the rail cap. for those units in the more eastern locations because they have the furtherest to go.

motorized and mechanized than my units and they are surrounding and destroying my units. They aren't even working all that well
