Just Received turn 10. So I have to say "sorry Folks" but the offense is effectively over for me as the Germans. * Supply is horrid to front line units. Even with a redundant supply network. My "muse" on redundancy didn't pay off :( Should have just did the single dual track line and been done with it. * Soviet units are full CCP, dug in, and a bazillion units in reserve in front of Moscow. So not going to chance attacking. * Soviets already multi layer deep in front of Moscow in WW1 style trenches. * Soviet retreated again 4-5 hexes other parts of the map which would put me even further out of Supply if I follow * At this point there is no reason to follow since I would just lose more men to supply. Better to just sit and wait. Plus once I catch up the Soviets just retreat again. Yes, I could use the airforce to slow them down but that takes supply. Supply is in short supply. * Soviet GA bombing is relentless which then slows down my units even further(What the Germans should be doing but can't) Can't intercept them very often(seems to be a bug). When I do intercept I lose almost half of my fighters. Best to just let them bomb and take the 2 - 3 Thousand in bombing losses a turn. * Soviets lose 100's of planes but no VP lose for mass loss of planes :( Oh well, I will just have to wait until I have supply. But boy it feels like I am playing the Soviets in 41 as Germans. * Will just have to consolidate what I have and let supply catch up. To me the Axis are short 1 FBD to make things work, but no biggie So there wont' be any post until I have the supply to do something which I then will catch up to the turns again. By then the Soviet will be at 4 to 4.5 million men if not more & way over that once the Nov 500,000 men hit. So I estimate 5.5 to 6 million men by Dec offensive. I had to work my ass off for 2,000,000 casualties by turn 10 and won't even make a dent in what is needed. Anyway, sorry for the wait but it is going to be awhile before I am able to do anything to post something interesting. Thanks for looking.
