Mike Solli -> RE: Operation Bear Trap (3/15/2009 3:45:16 AM)
If RUPD mines a base that you control, those Allied mines are offensive minefields and either side can be hit by them while you control the hex.� If RUPD sends ships into the Kwajalein hex, he has the same chances of hitting them as you do.

GordoNZ -> RE: Operation Bear Trap (3/22/2009 2:55:17 AM)
I am pleased to announce 'Operation Bear Trap' - The destruction of Russian Far East Command The below map points out the general axis of advance. ARMY In the East we have the Kwantung Area Army advancing on Vladivostock from both the south and west. 400k men Attacking out of Helio is the Chinese Area Army. They will work their way back east. 500k men In the West I have 4th and 6th Army's. Their job is to capture everything west . 180k men I have a reserve of approx 100k men to crush any counter attacks. Every base is level 9 forts. It looks as though TOM is not going to defend Vlad and Uglah very strongly. He has put the bulk of his forces it IMAN. AIRFORCE Well what can I say almost everything is here - except my training units and a sizable force in Burma. I got Jacks a month early [8D] and all units are high 70's plus. Looking at the Russian airforce in the Jun 43 scenerio I am quietly confident. They don't seem to get the really good units until May 43 and Late 43. I still expect this to be bloody. Most of the Russian airforce is hold up in IMAN. NAVY Beside the early bombardments of Vlad they wont take part. KB is in the south pacific ready to halt any advance. Your thoughts are welcome.

Flying Tiger -> RE: Operation Bear Trap - phase two (3/26/2009 4:15:27 AM)
hmmmm.... taking on Russia usually ends up being more than most can chew!! You are not the first to learn that lesson - not in witp, and not in reality!! Dont quit! A very interesting AAR so far. The game has certainly changed from here on in, but it is not all over yet. And as you sit there frustrated be encouraged by the fact that 'they' have promised better movement routines in WitP:AE - so hopefully those units wont go wandering off in the woods any more!!
