ORIGINAL: HITMAN202

The reasoning is obvious. Sillyflower, the supreme commander and northern force leader, has only 30-35 units "refitting" behind the front; 1/3 in AGN, 2/3 in AGC (red stars.) Belphegor, his vassal and subordinate (Sean clearly praises Sillyflower for tutoring him in WITE) has over 60 similar units in AGS (red stars). The Soviet build-up is in the south. So much the reasoning.

But instinctively I feel that Sillyflower will surrender the blizzard offense to Sean because there has been little action in the south during the first 20 turns. He will give Sean the fun. Also Sillyflower is probably anxtious about his upcoming bout with MT, and since he sees that I am following MT's advice in defending AGN, he will not want to lose confidence in a poor blizzard performance.
I think I'll be spot on.



Actually I gave away my strategy last turn. Hitman runs. I advance then return game to Hitman without sending to Sean. Hitman runs etc.

Hitman and Sean look foolish and I emerge as the only one with any credibility.

The game enters the snow next turn and the German O will get cranked. The center of the front shows my progress in ....

Getting the center of the front filled in. I hope to have a continous line come the first blizzard turn to impede the fast moving Cav/Armor units.

Prior to the game I would have said that greater than 1/2 mill German versus less than 2 and 1/2 Soviet losses would be bad, but I'm actually happy with the present situation. I'm ready for the blizzard (I will reveal more plans later) my forces are well supplied with supply lines that link all Army Groups by more than one connection, and there are no, nada, zippo Soviet guard units. I've not allowed many Soviet counterattacks and the few hasty attacks by my forces against the strong Soviet fort line have given the Soviets few cheap victories.

In the foreground you have yellow pansies and two varieties of snapdragons and in the back a crepe myrtle (25 foot tall sucker) and pods of irises which by chance, are also yellow.

I can imagine Sillyflower writhing in agony seeing such a pleasant, non-militaristic pic. Now if I can only find that copy of the Black Watch I "borrowed" from the Student Union Listening Theatre......

We are now putting them to good use behind his lines

The only question is will you be able to grind out Oct 42 - July 45 defending.

Inertia sets in when you get out of a rhythm and such the was the case with the 22nd turn. I'm in virgin territory with the upcoming blizzard and have a lot of issues, that I'm not familiar, to deal with. THEPROS and I had an e-mail snafu that triggered the inertia, so onwards...

But I do have a problem with the AAR the next 3 turns, for I am conducting a winter O that is beyond belief (I don't think I am exaggerating) and want to confuse the situation with THEPROS as much as possible. MT blocks off some of his game maps in his posts, but I don't want to the THEPROS even a glimmar of insight to my plans. Again I may be exaggerating, but my first winter turn was like the opening days of Barbarrosa all over again. First Odessa

[image][/image]

I didn't think it was going to be this easy, but I'll take it. Now where to I put them for the freeze ???

In general terms, my blizzard prep has been smooth, but now for the exciting drama of my winter O.

They have never seen such a plan !!! But it must stay hidden from the AAR... but back to the story within a story. Yes, it involves Hitman...

[image][/image]




All I can do is report what the Russian agent stole and sent to his superiors. I was hoping to have a "clean" game with THEPROS. I'm finding that they are a sly duo.

Careful Hitman, you will get Pelton over-excited and it's not safe to give him any more dried frog pills.

The big question: How to avoid upsetting older gentlemen with your nasty pictures, Hitman? Perhaps you might hide all this ugly grey symbols near the main production site of frog pills with flowers? Carnivorous species for example.

We haven't yet heard from Belphegor about "this farce." Remember this maxim, in increasing dishonestly... there's a white lie, an intended msistatement,then a flagarant lie, and finally Soviet propaganda. Sllyflower is in full bloom !!!

Oh dear, how could any of your/our gentle readers be so wrong as to think this is a game? They need therapy in a re-education camp - though whether yours or ours is not clear.

This is a fight until death or until our wives make us grow up. The latter is simply not going to happen.

Just a simple retreat and all the Nazis die according to the losses screen


[Actually they didn't as the unit was pushed back out of the next hex (also a port) so they are isolated and will die again next turn]

The best news of all is that Matrix have offered him a job! I just hope he accepts.
