DQ2004 -> RE: DQ2004's AAR #2 - "Ouch. ...that hurt" (12/6/2013 10:02:51 AM)

As July 1941 began Stavka evaluated its grim situation. Guderian, von Leeb & Rommel had twice as many corps on the front lines as they did. They did not have sufficient units to form a complete line, which meant that it would be only a matter of time before the Germans rolled up the flanks and surrounded them. There was only one choice: Retreat.
Iosef ranted and raged, and swore that if he but stayed, the city would stand, and so would the Rodina. But after Zhukov refused to budge, to a man, his generals all stood up to him, and within hours the Red Army was on the run. Stalin, already effectively removed from power, shot himself as the troops of the German 7th motorized corps marched unopposed into the city.
(I actually went back and did the first 6 impulses of the game again. In the first attempt, the Russians retreated on their 2nd impulse and were totally surrounded and destroyed on the Germans 3rd impulse. So I thought, that given they were doing so badly as it was, I should probably give them a better chance)
This is also one of the first screen shots with my new 2nd monitor (the new one is the new primary monitor, of course). I seem to be getting better quality screenshots from the PC rather than the laptop too, so until I'm forced back onto the laptop, the screenshots quality should be better!
