ORIGINAL: olivier34 A question regarding the Recon results. Do you find this accurate ? Is there the feeling of this Fog of War that makes wargaming so interesting. It seems that you can spot the armor divisions of your opponent quiet well. Do you think that you could hide to the germans a concentration of soviets armys during several weeks and launch a "surprise" major counter offensive ? Yes, quite accurate. In fact, I am not really keeping track of all the German divisions, as other players are doing (and that IS the efficient method by the way). I just need to see the big picture. In short, all I want to know is where the panzer concentrations are DANGEROUS. I can ignore only 4 panzer units in x place for example... I'm looking for the big boys, the huge concentrations that CAN create a big mess if you don't pay attention. As for hiding, I really don't know if that might work. Heavy woods, I guess, 10 hexes behind the front. Still, as long as you have strategic reserves (already on rail lines), nothing in this world can stop you from concentrating them once the hidden panzer hordes show up As for me hiding, in this case it MIGHT work. But simply because the Germans -unlike the Soviets- cannot afford huge strategic reserves. So these hidden units might be more dangerous on this scenario. In fact, I will have to try this strategy come 1943, 44... 45 In fact it's the strategic reserves that 100% allow you to react (on offense or defence) as quickly and overwhelmingly as possible. No matter the scenario. That's why they are so important. And not only to the Red Army. This is true for any WW2 army.
