This is an excellent AAR for the scenario. Very much appreciated. Your use of the Axis rail supply system was masterful and how it was intended to work. I did not think that the Axis could attempt an offensive in Winter 1941 so maybe I have to toughen Elmer up a bit in the next version? The hardest part is trying to get Elmer to do practical things. There will be another update in a few weeks with trying to tweak Elmer's programming to the better. Good job, Thank you. Thank you for your compliments. I could attempt winter offensive because of several reasons: 1. I had captured Leningrad. Troops were transferred to AGC. 2. I was ahead of schedule in fall, because 2nd Pz Armee didn't participate the Battle of Kiev. 3. I entrenched a solid defensive line during rasputitza and didn't continue towards Moscow in November. 4. I knew Soviets would attack in december, German high command thought the victory was in sight. I had all these advantages over historical situation and I still couldn't take Moscow. It was not even near. I have a feeling I can't win this war during 1942. Maybe 1943, we shall see... I think this scenario is very well balanced. I know the east front quite well. I have played several Barbarossa games WITE, HOI3, Decisive Campaigns: Barbarossa, etc. One thing to improve comes to my mind. If the rasputitza would be a little less severe, the axis player would have temptation to go on and overextend. I would have continued in october if I had had even a little supply. I had no supply, so it was easy decision to stop and dig in. If I had continued the offensive the result would have been a disaster at the gates of Moscow. Thank you for a great scenario!
