olivier34 -> A random blizzard AAR (no Traemyn please) (6/17/2011 2:42:15 PM)

Hi everybody. I have posted in the war room my first 17 turns as the axis...not quiet good. Did not take Leningrad, did not capture enough soviets and did not destroy enough industrys. Lost a lot of Tanks. But my opponent is playing is first GC too and now that is has got the initiative, who knows, he will do some mistakes and I may survive this blizzard. We play random weather on. There will be always around 27 % of probability that we get some snow instead of blizzard in December in the central weather zone, 9 % (only ! [:@]) in the North soviet zone and 36 % in the south [8D]. It gets a little worse in January...
Turns 18,19,20...mud...nothing much happend. A good rest for my panzers.
Turn 21. Some snow...did nothing but the soviets began to move.

Turn 39. I am lucky, snow is falling on the south soviet zone, my panzers will be abble to move, specially those arrived in Odessa after two weeks of train.
My opponent takes the situation seriously, many units arrived in the Krivoi rog area. This is a battle inside the battle. Traemyn emailed me to congratulate me for my last move...he was hoping for a mud turn...we got snow...I was quiet excited and anxious when I open my turn ! If I can capture all those 30 russians divisions, I would for sure drink a fresh beer [sm=00000436.gif](anyway, I will have one this evening)

Turn 41, blizzard again in the central zone, snow in the south.
I received a mail of Traemyn telling me this : (let say this is a spy report [;)]

"I don't know how the south will end, but I will share some information about what I've done so far in case its helpful to you when you do a soviet GC. You'll see in your turn I was able to win 3 battles in the south and was able to rout a few of your panzer units. Again, I don't know if these battles will mean anything in the next couple of turns but to me they were key in keeping those trapped guard units free for another turn, as well as possibly delaying your summer offensive by continuing to wear down your units.

-I have Vasilevsky leading my 2nd Shock Army. He has 7 INF and 6 or 7 Initiative. I spent AP's to make sure he was leading 2 out of 3 of the battles. Took me about 30 AP probably to do so but I think it was worth it.

-Some of the battles were really close and I believe I got the 1:1/2:1 Soviet rule on at least one of them.

-I have 4 or so Cavalry Corps in the area and each of them has at least 2 Separate Tank Battalions directly attached to them, which I am sure you've read about on the forums. Each of the Corps comes close to having about 100 tanks and really seems to pack a good punch (whereas the Cavalry Corps by themselves don't seem all that great). I also read people saying they don't use these as frontline units but from what I've seen so far they perform good (with attachments).

Stuff I am not sure how much it influenced the battles, but was targeted:
-The panzer units I routed seemed to be a bit low on supply and fuel.
-The inf/mot battle I won they were orange/yellow in morale"

Vasilevski ? Who is this guy ! anyway, when I see what he has done, i want him dead [sm=00000023.gif]
