Sorry for the Hiatus. Some smuck at work got caught using the internet when he shouldnt have been so now all us employees have been banned for a week so had to wait for the weekend at home to do an update

I just updated some back posts as I found a site that list Soviet Division commanders. I dont expect to get every soviet or Russian Generals pic nor would I keep track of the numberous shifts in commanding officers but is nice to add just a bit of detail to the AAR.

Have only played two turns so far in this battle. The detail does tend to slow down the AAR and the research into pics and units takes it time also but feel its worth it. I have found some really great stuff.

So back to the battles.
