Turn 42 Overall Well, I had hoped to breach the initial USSR line before the mud arrived (so I could take advantage of the poor frozen river design in the game), but alas, this turn arrived with mud everywhere but in the south. With poor weather over most of the front, no attacks were launched besides in the south, where we started to pierce the enemy line. The USSR tried 3 attacks, but they all failed, and gave nothing but held results. Our 6 attacks resulted in 1 held and 5 retreats (goes without saying that 1 rifle division and 1 tank brigade that has already retreated will suddenly hold against three of my Pz Divs with a CV superiority of 4:1...) Losses USSR : 21.000 troops, 253 guns, 28 AFVs, 127 AC. Axis : 23.000 troops, 112 guns, 65 AFVs, 11 AC. I no longer trust the USSR casualties listed [:(] Partisans Only one of these buggers showed up, and it was promptly forced to run away. German Pools Manpower : 94.001 Vehicles : 114.245 Armaments : 392.444 Hiwi : 3 Guess I need to withdraw my divisions to get the manpower to reach them. Too bad I do not have enough divisions to spare some to send back... [image]local://upfiles/11504/C8C6AA4A82904D558FCD936F86C51685.jpg[/image]

Turn 43 Disclaimer Game patched. Overall The situation is not looking good at the moment tbh, and here is why; -USSR is rather well dug in -Another turn of mud -USSR reserve activation is ridiculus -USSR inf divs are lethal to my tanks atm. The USSR launched 1 attack against the Rumanians, and scored a retreat, while we launched 11 attacks, for a score of 4 helds (all with reserve activation), 5 retreats (during 1 of these I lost 32 AFVs, more than any of the held results) and 2 routs. In the end we take 6 hexes of enemy held territory...Not exactly Blietzkrieg atm [:D] Losses USSR : 6.000 troops, 184 guns, 5 AFVs, 78 AC. Axis : 27.000 troops, 157 guns, 165 AFVs, 38 AC. Not sure I will keep posting USSR losses any longer, no point... Partisans Out of the four that appeared, we only managed to deal with 1.

Turn 44 Overall Pesky weather means no attacks this turn [8\|]. Furthermore, the USSR OOB is looking nasty!! Losses USSR : 21.000 troops, 184 guns, 1 AFVs, 46 AC. Axis : 25.000 troops, 91 guns, 58 AFVs, 26 AC. Partisans We delt with all 5 that were on the map.

Turn 45 Overall Unless the weather changes soon, I might have to fall back a little...We made no attacks this turn, but the USSR launched no less than 10, scoring 4 helds and 6 retreats. Most of the fighting took place in the Moscow sector, and I am really concerned about the weather now. I NEED it to change, and that is not a good sign... Losses USSR : 30.000 troops, 274 guns, 2 AFVs, 78 AC. Axis : 33.000 troops, 294 guns, 38 AFVs, 13 AC. Partisans Only one showed up, and he is now gone again.

Turn 46 Overall So close to forming the first pocket of the season, but the weather denies us...Throw in some annoying (to say the least) held results and you have this turn summed up... The USSR tries 2 attacks, but both ends with a held result, while we launch 10 attacks, and score 4 helds and 6 retreats. Seems the USSR will keep rolling "6"'es this season too [8\|] Losses USSR : ??? troops, ??? guns, ??? AFVs, ??? AC. Axis : 28.000 troops, 172 guns, 94 AFVs, 45 AC.

Turn 47 Overall Pesky weather still, so we make no attacks. The USSR pulls back to a new line in the south, and attacks in the centre. The 11 USSR attacks results in 6 helds and 5 retreats. Losses USSR : 34.000 troops, 333 guns, 7 AFVs, 110 AC. Axis : 30.000 troops, 222 guns, 44 AFVs, 12 AC. Partisans 2 appears, and 1 runs away again.

latest silly question - how do you manage to keep so completely on top of the partisans?

terje439 -> RE: Laugh n a 1/2 - No Manstein63 (5/14/2013 11:49:03 AM)
Two things; 1. Keep occupied fully garrisoned. 2. Keep a few high mp, low CV units in between the cities. #1 keeps down the number of recruits the partisans receive, while #2 allows me to hunt down any active partisans asap. Terje

Turn 48 Overall The last of the winter penalty is gone, and so is most of the mud. Our panzers and infantry lash out, and we bagged a few units, but ofc we also had the hmmm laughable? Insane? Annoying? good USSR rolls from time to time, and I also counted no less than 8 USSR reserve activations...Furthermore, the USSR position seems strong. REALLY strong. The USSR launched 1 attack, but only scored a held, while our 30 attacks resulted in 6 helds and 24 retreats this turn. Losses USSR : 57.000 troops, 759 guns, 77 AFVs, 227 AC. Axis : 33.000 troops, 336 guns, 125 AFVs, 57 AC. USSR units in pockets 8. Partisans Out of the 5 on the map, we delt with 4. German Pools Manpower : 134.632 Vehicles : 116.178 Armaments : 180.465??

Turn 49 Overall And then again there was....MUD...No no, not at all annoying at this time [:D] The USSR seems to keep their offensive state of mind, and deliver 17 attacks, scoring 8 helds, 8 retreats and 1 rout (Rumanian). We only manage 6 attacks in the mud, and score 1 held (surrounded units against deliberate attacks from 2.5 stacks (8 divs)), 4 retreats and 1 surrender. Losses USSR : 89.000 troops, 1.040 guns, 7 AFVs, 192 AC. Axis : 37.000 troops, 325 guns, 85 AFVs, 40 AC. USSR units in pockets at start of turn 8. USSR units in pockets at end of turn 3.

Turn 50 Overall Mud mud mud mud mud mud mud mud mud... All we did was to eliminate the surrounded units we did not manage to kill off last turn. Even the USSR remained passive this time around. Losses USSR : 44.000 troops, 359 guns, 2 AFVs, 28 AC. Axis : 24.000 troops, 76 guns, 34 AFVs, 7 AC. USSR units in pockets at start of turn 3. USSR units in pockets at end of turn 0.

Turn 51 Overall The mud is gone all over, and we strike as many positions as possible, and we breech the USSR line in a few places. Too bad there are more lines that needs to be breeched further back...The USSR does nothing, while we manage to launch 29 attacks, for a result of 1 held and 28 retreats. Losses USSR : 53.000 troops, 703 guns, 50 AFVs, 141 AC. Axis : 32.000 troops, 292 guns, 132 AFVs, 38 AC. USSR units in pockets at start of turn 0.

Turn 52 Overall The USSR breaks open the one pocket we made last turn, and they even form one of their own in the north. We get our troops to safety, but I am deeply concerned. I fear I might soon have to start to dig in and prepare to try to simply hold out. The USSR made 23 attacks and scored 7 helds and 16 retreats. This is a concern, especially since they force a stack of three German Infantry Divisions to retreat...Also worrying is our own successrate. 43 attacks resulted in 14 helds and 29 retreats, or 33% failed attacks (I think only 2 were hasty attacks). To aid to the frustration, partisans cut the railroads we had our airfields on, so no fuel could be flown to our panzers this turn. Losses USSR : ??.000 troops, ??? guns, ?? AFVs, ??? AC. Axis : 32.000 troops, 292 guns, 132 AFVs, 38 AC. USSR units in pockets at start of turn 0. USSR units in pockets at end of turn 11. # of USSR reserve activations 4.

Turn 53 Overall This turn has me severly worried. The losses I am taking cannot be sustained for long, especially since one stack of panzers alone lost almost 7.000 troops this turn. And if a stack of 3 panzers cannot hold, then I simply cannot hold any pocket I form. Worrying indeed... The USSR lashed out this turn, performing a total of 25 attacks for a result of 11 helds and 14 retreats, while we managed no more than 43 attacks. Our score was 13 helds, 29 retreats and 1 surrender. Losses USSR : 120.000 troops, 1.587 guns, 137 AFVs, 239 AC. Axis : 74.000 troops, 993 guns, 287 AFVs, 51 AC. USSR units in pockets at start of turn 3. USSR units in pockets at end of turn 12. # of USSR reserve activations 5. USSR units destroyed 3 Rifle Division. Axis units destroyed The 616th Jagdpanzer Battalion is destroyed in combat. Partisans Only 2 appeared, both were taken out.

Disgruntled Veteran -> RE: Laugh n a 1/2 - No Manstein63 (5/21/2013 12:41:36 AM)
This is where I was in my game....but in June of 43. The losses you are taking are unsustainable unfortunately. The main drawback is going to be armaments. When I went to the defense I had 4 million men and 700k armaments in the bank. Although the fighting was brutal I didn't start losing until armaments ran out. Once armaments go out its a downward spiral with only brief pauses during mud. I'm not trying to be negative but its my take. I think in my next game if I get shut down to hard in 41 I will ask for a surrender. You have to have a good 41 and a good 42 for the game to be a decent long game. Even if you lose it still makes it fun. I wish you the best of luck but I am betting you won't see a hint of 1945.

Michael T -> RE: Laugh n a 1/2 - No Manstein63 (5/21/2013 1:49:00 AM)
The Soviets in the hands of good players are simply too strong too soon in 1941. The game needs a lower morale level for Russia in 41 and a rule(s) to stop them running in July/August.

Turn 54 Overall When I opened the turn, I realized that the USSR was trying to encircle some of my troops in the north. How rude! The situation was delt with, I am just grateful that I faced divisions. Soon it will be rifle corps that are that rude. That will be interesting. This turn I placed one army in static mode to reduce some wear and tear, I do not think I can place more of them on static though, as I need the MP available if the USSR keeps being rude. Our PzAs finally met and formed a decent pocket this turn. Point is however that I had hoped to achieve this 3-4 turns ago. The clock is definitively ticking. 15 USSR attacks resulted in 9 helds and 6 retreats, while our 46 attacks gave us 10 helds, 28 retreats, 3 routs and 5 surrenders. Losses USSR : 190.000 troops, 2.734 guns, 198 AFVs, 338 AC. Axis : 55.000 troops, 630 guns, 195 AFVs, 138 AC. USSR units in pockets at start of turn 12. USSR units in pockets at end of turn 20. # of USSR reserve activations 1. USSR units destroyed 1 Tank Brigade, 9 Rifle Divisions and 2 Guards Rifle Divisions.

As always, there is the dilemma of historical accuracy vs. fun game. Maybe each scenario should start with as much historicity as possible and then allow more and more changes as the scenario develops. This forum has identified a wealth of details that could be "corrected." But, I play for fun while appreciating historicity.

And it becomes an issue both ways, when we can maximize the leader pools, maximize reserve activation etc etc. Sure there are lots of things that could be better. In the defence of Berlin, I have difficulty seing Hitler allowing a Pz Div equip with nothing but Tigers if they were available etc etc. But the problem is one of balance, and I do not claim to have all the answers (in fact I do not claim to have any), but try to point at a few factors that is something worth looking at. I still stand by the statement that the main reason for my poor progress in this game is very good USSR play followed by crap play by myself. That is not questionable, but what I did was point at a few things that pushes things further askew when things go off the normal track. Fun, oh, I still have fun, if not I would have surrendered the game long ago [;)] Terje

As we drift slowly toward WITE2.0 this game will still get played by a lot of people, me included. But as the core base of players become familiar with optimal Soviet play it is going to become harder and harder to get anywhere with Germany. Perhaps even harder to find willing German players unless there is a mulitiude of HR, which is where I am at now. For me there are 3 key areas that need to be addressed. Soviet morale in 1941, Soviet running in 1941 and Soviet Reserve activation in 1941. If these issues were adjusted IMO it would make a much more fun and balanced game. But ATM no one from within the inner circle acknowledge there is a problem. So we use HR and maybe tweak the initial morale settings to try and get it right. I wish those morale settings worked on a per year basis. As then it would be a simple tweak to 1941 Soviet morale and let the rest of the war go as is. But if we change Soviet morale down it stays down the whole war which is not what is needed or even desried. I think I might try and ask for that option. See if any support could be rounded up.

The part I placed in bold is the very essence of the "disease" that is riding this game atm. But imo it works for both sides (Lvov pocket being one example for the other side), however the problem is that the Axis is "supposed" to kill USSR troops and take territory early on for the game to more or less balance itself. But, I will play it out and see where I end. I am still having fun with this game, but I am eager to see what Wite 2.0 will look like. However I think that some of the issues (for me) (like mandatory withdrawals etc) will still be something I will complain about [;)] That is however the problem with making a game that deals solely with one front I am afraid.

Turn 55 Overall The USSR decided not to be rude this turn, but they did run to the next fortified line, so I will have to breech another line. They did ofc reopen the pocket formed last turn by forcing 3 PzDivs to retreat with high casualties once more. With 100 VPs to go for a victory things are not really looking that good [:D] The USSR launched 23 attacks, scoring them 9 helds, 4 scouted and 10 retreats.
