ORIGINAL: robjoh All, Approaching mud season '42 on my GC as Axis (vs the AI - Normal). I survived blizzard in 1941 and subsequently took Moscow in august 1942 (Leningrad was conquered in '41). Stalinggrad still out of reach. My losses are in the range of 2,5 million in total while the SU has lost approx 8,5 million men. Now my question: what can I expect from the upcoming winter 42-43? I know from the manual the "first winter rules" etc but how will it feel in "reality"? Can I hold the line or will it be retreat all the way back to the Reich? Is an offensive in 1943 at all possible? Any hints from players who has experienced the second winter would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. I have just reached the end of the '42 to '43 blizzard in my game versus the AI (normal). I had no trouble maintaining the offensive; however, the offensives are more limited due to the movement point cost increase during blizzard turns. For comparison, here are the losses in my game: Start of blizzard ('42) Germany - 1.7 million SU - 8.0 million End of blizzard ('43) Germany - 1.95 million SU - 10.2 million The game has turned into a meatgrinder; I'm destroying men & equipment at the same rate it being produced. However, I'm still pushing forward.
