Don't get me wrong, I appreciate showing all the screenshots, 'warts' and all. I was pleasantly surprised to actually see the AI attempt to pull back the line after overextending itself. As with all games one learns, the AI can and will be exploited regardless - to make one that avoids obvious mistakes like plowing through the hole you left it between Rostov/Stalingrad or leading with Security Divisions etc will be benchmark of a great game.
Your analogy is a strawman. I think if the German General Staff had an inkling of what was in store for them beyond Stalingrad and the Volga and the requisite authority (read Hitler) I'm pretty positive they would have acted differently.
well, remember, how it went, the same into the PTO, once you start winning, you start believing in yourself, in the East, the German Intel, seen and reported what was going on, what was there, the High Command didn't believe it, no way, you could "kill" over 200 Divs in 6 months and still have that many more Divs in Reserve, in the East like in the BoB, the High Command always believed, that was the last plane, the last Div, kill that, and there is no more coming, only the English, were never short of planes, and the Russians until very late, were never really short of men
now, of course, none of that has anything to do with the game, also, please remember, I didn't leave a hole in my line, the Germans drove a hole in my line, that I couldn't mantain, I shifted most of my reserves to Stalingrad and dug in (which also helped there training, those were pretty lousy troops, which wouldn't of stood a chance out in the open, trying to be a blocking force
the mistake I see, is when I pulled away from Rostov, the AI left a screening force and kept on heading East, it should of turned and kept the pressure on the shoulder
in the north and middle, it is doing a decent job, only now, it is getting stubborn, when it should of just gave up ground
