Phenix -> how am i doing compared to history? (1/30/2011 12:07:22 AM)
Hi im playing GC 41-45 ,Its October -42 and i playing Germany and have caused 7,4 million casualties and suffered 1,9 million casulties myself. Soviet has 5,6 million fighting men and i have 3,4. How do measure up to history casulty vise and caused casulties? And do i have realistic chance to win or should i start over?

You are doing better in terms of having more manpower and the Soviets having less than they did historically (Germans would be around 3 million and the Soviets would be a little over 6, IIRC).

Ok but still not enough i recon as the quality of the Soviets increase? I thought that with more than 7,4 casualties that they would be under 5 mill atleast, i guess not.

you will be glad enough they have under 6 million when the winter hits[:D] and you should hold up better as they will not have the hordes to throw at you.

im at turn 71 now and im already shivering in my boots from what i see they fielding, row after row, i will never break them, just a question if i can hang on to 45, very doubtful. To have chance to that i think i would had to cause atleast a million more casualties. If these figures are close to history, then how in heavens did they think they could win :-)

Phenix, they thought they would win in a quick blitzkrieg. Hitler thought that Russia was a stack of cards ready to topple over. (I'm paraphrasing here.) I think they came pretty close to winning, Stalin tried secretly to make a peace deal early in the war, before the first Russian winter.
