simply outstanding AAR with dramatic turn of events so far. after 1941 i would not bet a single coin at the german recover but the summer offensive 42 was a hell of a ride and then you managed to stop him right before baku and took back the initiative slowly.

this is simply one of the best AAR's in this forum.

now hopefully you have enough time to get at least a draw and get your army to poland or germany.

. I do my best to make a nice AAR which can be read like a book. It's not an easy task as English isn't my native language.


If only France had not broken the Treaty of Troyes 1420 [sm=sign0063.gif], your english would have been perfect instead of just very good [:D]

Editor's note: for those not steeped in Anglo-French medieval history, this was the treaty that agreed that King Henry V of England and his heirs would inherit the Kingdom of France on the death of King Charles VI of France

We colonials speak, and write, much gooder English.

Couldn't agree more bigbaba.
One must not forget Bobos contribution to the show-he tries something else than the Pelton straight frontline hex to turn ratio defense and gives a fight. This will leave him with negative numbers of artillery by 01.1945 but contributes a lot to the entertainment of the spectators.

Excellent AAR, 1942 was very tense. It shows the incredible long-term strength of the Soviet army.
Biggest lesson I learned from this AAR is that even if things look difficult for the Soviets in 41 or 42,
given time they should bounce back. Berlin before Jan 45?




STEF78 -> RE: Pause (5/1/2017 11:01:36 AM)

Thanks for reading the AAR. As said, a good AAR is a combination of reliable players, equilibrated game and fair playing on both sides. Not easy to get. So thanks to Bobo.

Very happy to be french native [;)],it allows me to appreciate such poetry:

Demain, dès l'aube, à l'heure où blanchit la campagne,
Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m'attends.
J'irai par la forêt, j'irai par la montagne.
Je ne puis demeurer loin de toi plus longtemps.

Je marcherai les yeux fixés sur mes pensées,
Sans rien voir au dehors, sans entendre aucun bruit,
Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé, les mains croisées,
Triste, et le jour pour moi sera comme la nuit.

Je ne regarderai ni l'or du soir qui tombe,
Ni les voiles au loin descendant vers Harfleur,
Et quand j'arriverai, je mettrai sur ta tombe
Un bouquet de houx vert et de bruyère en fleur

An excellent, and very french, response Stef, so here's something in english from the opposite perspective that always gets to me. It was actually written by an English lawyer but set to an Irish tune 'Londonderry Air' and most people assume it's an irish song.


Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.
From glen to glen and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go, and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow.
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so.

But when ye come and all the flowers are dying,
And I am dead, as dead I well may be,
Go out and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

And I will hear tho' soft your tread above me,
And then my grave will warm and sweeter be.
For you shall bend and tell me that you love me,
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me.

Russian steamroll is on.

Awesome game Stef. I really thought you were dead. Shows how important it is to never give up. [&o]

Thanks

Game has changed since destroyed units come back for free for the USSR.

It's now very hard for the Axis to win if the russian can survive till early july 1942.
