Status: offline 		oh well, needed to do a restart, so was waiting on the next release, wanted to do a simi AAR of the same battle as Jon, with out doing the same tactics

but, need to do a new restart after the restart

I think I was losing, I was kicking, but didn't like the way the battle was unfolding

here is a loss page screen, and I thought I wasn't doing too well

(AHHHH, capture program crashed out, ahhhhhhhh)

Status: offline 		okay, since I play the game with FOW off, so I can watch and see what the AI is doing, my maps will look different then Jon's will

want to see where the Russian Reserves are ? (at least in my game)


looks like the SU has reacted to my move in the south (wasn't intended, just were the troops, were, so wanted to take Rostov on the fly, before shifting my focus north)

looks like the AI been reading some of your posts, it has been attacking across the Fin no attack line, and gaining some exp at my inforced peacefulness

Status: offline 		greeesh, 26 Corps, 28 Divs, 20 Brigs all gone, and the Russian line is stronger then it was when I started !

(of course, the trick there is, I was shortening my lines, so that means the Russian line is also shorter)

to the good, that is a lot of Corps out of action, in the past, the AI has been slow to build his Divs into Corps (lucky me)

we got a new, new release, so a new campaign will be restarted

I guess that when the Soviets form corps instead of divisions, they can take more losses and still gain experience, which would make the tactic more worthwhile.

There doesn't really seem to be an easy way to fix the issue, as "freezing" the front would be unrealistic and not allowing the Soviets to attack across the line would mean they can't invade Finland again.

Status: offline 		okay main goal here is to try out the victory set up (don't want to talk much about that yet, until we get it working the way they want)

so, for me, my main goal, for now, is to try and link up with the Fins, free the Fins for action, and take Leningrad

free my trapped troops

cut off any pockets of Su Troops

shorten my lines were I can, and Hurt the Russian

take Rostov

try to cross the Kersh

and see if I can push the Victory condictions

so

Leningrad area

(I tend to go for the large, moble pocket, and that ends up taking time, and space, if not done well, so going for small pockets when and where I can, even better, since it is not part of the main focus of my attacks)

Status: offline 		two more pockets, what you want is to get the enemy into the open, once you crack the main line, they are not dug in anymore, can be a royal pain to have to dig them out, once they are dug in

not a good trade off for the first week, pretty close, but, had to do a lot of digging

Status: offline 		those should be the reserve armies, some are active some are static, most are kind of lousy, so better to let them sit and build up and gain some morale, but at times that is very HARD to do, also, closer to the front, are two Tank Armies

Status: offline 		well, don't think I can keep up the damage, unless I break though some place

but doing heavy damage while I am at it

very Heavy Russian Troop numbers in the south, so that is almost a stalemate, but the north is starting to break up (so expect a chunk of the southern force to be rushing north)

(one thing to remember, I wouldn't blame the losses on the AI, this a very nasty start line for both sides)

Status: offline 		finally running down some of the Corps

Unit losses have been very Heavy this time around

700,000 men in losses so far for the Russian, they gave up trying to close out my pocket, which almost gave me a chance for a huge pocket, but couldn't close it off, but may get a couple next week

got Rostov trapped, if I can hold the line

across the Ketch

drive to the Fins is slow, but steady

my line is very brittle

the Russian is starting to give up, and fall back

no help/gain in Victory points yet

lost 33 Ju 52's, but got most of my Armor some fuel, need a big pocket

this one may be tricky

if I can break the shoulders, he may lose more then he planned on, but, it takes a lot of pressure off the rest of his line
