I am sorry to say this game is at an end. I have resigned from the game.

I will leave now for awhile.


thats a real pity, as others have said this game is in an interesting position due to your approach and the new patch may well open up more opportunities.

even if too late for something decisive in 1941 then being well placed for 1942. I still think it would be good to see more HtH games go into the second year of the war, not least to test out the proposition that the real auto-win point is the late summer/autumn 42 VP tests?

Fwiw, I do think you over-reacted to the unplanned change in the last patch re GS. There was a ready work around of simply allocating your fighters into the GS AD, you could still get something out of them in other AD. But it depends on what you were trying to achieve



With 37 divisions and a Corps HQ surrounded turn 12 the tables have tipped towards the Germans. The South is neutered of Soviets except for two armies of Armor/Mech and a Soviet infantry army in the Crimea. The North is a thin line of Soviets. The Soviet Center will be strong for 2 turns as I clean up the pocket but turn 14 or 15 will see the full onslaught of the German Army towards Moscow and Tula threatened from 2nd panzer from the South. The scales have tipped ever more towards the Germans. The 37 divisions surrounded will net 350,000 to 500,000 prisoners bringing the total to around 3 million losses. As for the Air the wait is necessary to start gnawing the Soviet Air Force down in the area since my current Air units were on AS missions. Thus I have to bring in extra to the front area to be on the safe side. Thus I predict Moscow should be surrounded in October. Supply in the area is optimum and I can throw it over the top with a Super-Depot if I wanted. The Soviets will be hard pressed to stop me unless the weather turns bad and stays bad for a long time is the only item I can see saving the Soviets from the loss of Moscow. But that is only me and my knowledge of playing over 200+ H2H games.

This game is a "No-Early-End" and thus no auto-win for the Germans how I see it. I have to wait till Dec 1944 and pray my high water mark is good enough to win. I will meet if not exceed most historical objectives in the game in 41. But of course Jubjub is an excellent player and maybe I am just blind to the fact. Maybe Soviets are way more powerful than I could have imagined. But I do feel that the Soviets are hurting.

It has "nothing" to do with the game at all. I feel that the Germans are very powerful and when the Air war gets the patch will make them even more powerful. My departure has more to do with keeping the peace with an individual of high stature on the forum. With my departure I bring back the tranquility.


If so, to me that seems like all the more reason to not let things that are nothing to do with the game itself from interfering with the game.

I would suggest, instead of quitting the game entirely, if you feel it is really needed for some reason, take a break from writing the AAR for a week or two, or a month, and maybe after then when there has been time for things to cool down, come back to it and then you can report later what has been happening in the game.

But keep playing the game, unless the game itself is not worth playing. If nothing else, I would bet jubjub has probably been enjoying the challenge.


My game is tied to the AAR. The AAR is tied to me posting. My postings are tied to what the individual of high stature has a problem with. I don't want disharmony & have given the problem over to the higher powers to see if a solution can be made. If a solution can be had the Powers in charge can re-instate the game. If not... then this game is over. If that makes sense.


There was never a solution so this game ended. I would have hoped a couple of months of not posting AAR's would have made things better but it has not. That person is still the same and he immediately made an assumption and a lie in his AAR thread about me after I left a comment. Well this time I will not back down from Loki & will call him out at every opportunity. I still have respect for his knowledge of the manual but his assumptions and brow beating me, or anyone down that he does not agree with, I will not tolerate any longer in my posts.

Just an FYI there are plenty of people that have games into 44 and beyond. Just because those are not reported on the Matrix forums doesn't mean these games can be dismissed away like some wet dream to suit someones ego as having the only one on the Matrix forums into 43/44 as having experience.
