I don't, but probably wouldn't post if I did.

I think he's asking if there's any point in making off-topic posts in the War Room part of the forum, and we seem to be telling him no.

I think he's asking if there's any point in making off-topic posts in the War Room part of the forum, and we seem to be telling him no.

Hmmmn,well in the "War room" area he has questions on:

Pripyat marshes..........why would you send anything but infantry in there and even then not far in/for specific purpose. Basically as in WiTe just use those marshes as flypaper to trap/pin opponents forces and limit their movement.

Reassigning Panzer Armies...to different Army Groups? Why? My take is the German general staff allocated them for a reason to the various Army Groups. AG center having more area to cover got 2 panzer groups due to area to cover,etc....how would you want to redeploy them? Would 2 panzer groups in AGN really help with a northern focus on Lenningrad? Interesting point,I'll have to look at this a bitmyself after I purchase the game later today.

Soviet casualties.....historically I wouldn't trust the daily/weekly reports from this time period.The Russians lost alot in a massed state of confusion. Will check out the games reports,Vic is good with providing reports/information in his games.

Panzer Army losses....many tanks recovered and put back into service.Many captured tanks also put into service so will see what info the game provides. Reasonable question but your infantry is whats going to do most of the fighting,armor just wins the headlines and sets the stage of mythical glory.\

I thought his questions were all in line with the topic and wish I had better answers to offer. As a rule I found it better to encourage discussion and that sense of community so the forum lasts and more people get into the game. Vic does a great job with his games and ongoing support,just look at Advanced Tactics gold.

Didn't mean that to sound as snarky as it did.

By my own admission I rarely visit the War Room, and my comment was based purely on glancing at the titles of the threads and looking at who started them.

Comparing WITE to Barbarossa seems more in line with what goes on in this part of the forum (isn't there a thread about that already?).
