Guys: I've had this game for years. I have played it on and off, but never have really gotten into it or understood it. After playing a few different Gary Grigsby games, I finally felt prepared to tackle this beast. I started up the Road to Leningrad scenario, you know, something simple and OHMYGOD next thing I know its been 7 hours. I played as the Axis powers and lost, yes, but it was a Soviet minor victory. I take this as a win, because this was my first game attempting encirclement, messing around with the command structure, and repairing and using the railroads. My troops were on the outskirts of Leningrad on the last turn, but unfortunately I wasn't keeping track of the turn count and was surprised with the Soviet minor victory screen. Anyways, I have never been that absorbed in a wargame, even in WITP: AE, which I consider to be my favorite wargame due to the setting (I love studying the Pacific Theater). Just wanted to share my joy. Thanks for reading.
