ORIGINAL: olivier34 hi, just lost my very first pbem vs Isokron. I was playing the soviet, 1.02 version. A very bad soviet starting position and like you, not a single partial activation. My strategy was to fight forward (even if I knew that the best choice is to run with this current version). I had to spent my first pps to fortify Minsk, Odessa otherwise those citys would have fall without a fight. I have made a lot of attacks, even at 1 vs 3 with the tank brigades, the mech divisions, hoping to grind down the APs of the german panzers. I have sacrifice armys with the goal to slow down the german advance or to stretch the front line. I thought that pushing the panzers to do a lot of miles would create a fuel shortage at some point...it did not happen. By the end of July I had 700 000 soldiers on the field, by the end of September I had to surrender (Moscou, Leningrad lost, Rostov would have before middle of October). Anyway, a fun game but I think that the next updates are required when you play vs an experience opponent like Isokron. Look forward to see if your strategy will make you survive until October ! Good luck, I will follow this with great interest. Olivier warspite1 October!?!? I was hoping to hold on until the end of July.... Isokron is very good indeed. I understand what you mean about fuel. When I play the Germans I get into difficulties with fuel allowance. I will keep plugging away and just hope that mud, fuel, divine intervention or whatever comes to my aid
