First winter / sudden death thoughts
Well firstly on the winter subject I was lucky dam lucky, many times I thought the line at just about every sector would fold any moment.
WITE1 winter is bad this is brutal but well worth the test, despite the almost 10 weeks of preparation put in to building a solid line you can never be prepared enough.
The Romanians can and will do the job but they either need to be double stacked with the Germans or triple stacked if its just them, unless you have forts and even then cross your fingers.
That can be difficult in the south as its open terrain and a lot of ground to cover.
The Germans have it tough to and the Panzers get wrecked but you need them in the line.
I am playing against the AI, it would have been a different situation if it was a human player I would have been in serious trouble as its my fourth game and I am no where near as good as any of the players here.
If I did this same game again the same way it could be totally different, so I am not patting myself on the back, this was first winter beginners luck.
I will say it seems to me that defending in front of Moscow is better with the defensive terrain than trying to hold Mariupol on the Black Sea.
I need to smash the AI during the summer of 42 or I have to go through the winter again facing a stronger Red Army, really want to avoid that at all costs.
I manage to hold all my victory points I captured, so that gives me a great starting point as I don't have win back lost cities again.
