The German army is still surprisingly strong in this game with more then 4000 tanks and 3.3 million men. However, the Russians are in perfect supply and close to 100% TOE.


Raw numbers aren't enough to understand the weakness of german army.

I've lost 80/90+ morale Pzd and 70+ morale Inf Div

Units rebuilt begun with morale at 50 and low experience. CV's are desperatly low

That is something like the corp hq are removed from the chain of command, and for example 9 inf xx(front line)may get reserve activation from 9 inf regts (second line). Example shows 27 CPs used for army. High initiative and morale army ldr (natch).

Oops posted this in the wrong place, it was meant for Stef, no wonder I lose so many games!!

The encircled units (including Grossdeutschland) have been destroyed and tanks are now pushing towards the Baltic sea. All during mud.

Tanks are moving eastward and cut off some security regiments. The ports will be attacked next turn.

Another small pocket is formed. A number of HQs are displaced this turn. As a result Ewald von Kleist gets killed. This is the first confirmed kill of a leader in this game.

Gdynia and Danzig are occupied and the remaining German divisions are isolated.

A tank corps breaks through to the Yugoslavian border and cuts the German and Hungarian divisions off.

Yes, this is correct as far as I understand it (I never played this far). That's why the offensive in on everywhere. Budapest and Berlin give an extra 5 points because they are capitols.

Yeah, with the Oder crossed north and south there is nothing stopping the Russians.

The Oder is crossed north and south and I can prepare for the encirclement of Berlin.

The pocket was opened and is resealed. Can the Axis troops move into Yugoslavia?

I am asking because I pushed some units into Yugoslavia. But according to the manual they will be out of supply and can only move out of the country.

quote:

When the first in supply Soviet unit moves adjacent to the Bulgarian or Yugoslavian border, that country automatically surrenders and becomes a "total exclusion zone" for both players. No movement of any type may be made into a total exclusion zone and supply may not be traced through a total exclusion zone. Any Axis unit in the applicable country at the moment of surrender (or any unit of either side subsequently forced to retreat into the country) may move out of that country, but may not move back in once it has moved out.

Status: offline 		In an old game I had a few quirks when dealing with these borders. If I remember correctly a few German units retreated into the 'bad' territories. I seem to remember that they were then stuck and could not go back (The Romanian border may have been Russian held). Or other non satisfactory result.

I think there is an issue to address but not exactly clear what it is.
