Turn 185 AGN holds the lines for another turn beating back several attacks. The lines are now 50 to 60 miles thick and no enemy breakthroughs. Still 28 hexes to Berlin with 26 turns left. Spring is still 13 or 14 turns away. With the 8 turns of mud that’s a hex ratio of +10. Manpower is down to 66,000 and OOB at 3.8 million.

Read this front to back last night great game by both players.

While reading this I was blown away by how much territory Pelton was able to seize.
I don't think I'm off base too much but even with house rules favoring the GHC the Soviets are starting to
knock on the door shows weakness in the program. I'd hope WITE 2 at the very least allows morale gains /morale losses according to how the war effort is going at it's mid points instead of total reliance on the historical record.

Pelton does as usual a very good job as german player.

Why is smokindave not attacking all along the front?

Doing only a single frontal attack to Berlin favors the defender

Can we see an OOB?

Great AAR thanks for all the details - where do you send your FBDs along during the campaign
(starting where - moving to where)?

RR;
FDB-1 turn one gets on rail and heads for Romania.
Turn 2 it can RR starting in hex 67,102 or hex if Russia is blocking 60,95 then head for 67,98 then to 74,101 then to D-town 100,94 from there to Stalino area.

FBD-3 turn 1 rails to 47,46 gets of rails and repairs hex 47,45 then FBD-4 RR up that line 51,44. Turn 2 FDB-4 RR the next 3 hexes and then FBD-3 RR the swamp then FDB-4 RR the line headed for Riga then to Poskv then hex 80,30 It then heads south to link up with FBD-2. Once they link up its free to go where needed generally towards Moscow.

Then FBD-3 RR the line headed for 65,43 then on to Smolensk then 96,54 and turns south to link up with southern front.

FBD-2 heads for Vilnius then turns north to hex 65,43. At this pt it assists FBD-3 then turns north and links up with FBD-4. Once it has linked with FBD-4 it is railed to the south on FDB-1 line. It RR starting at hex 91,92 and heads for Kharkov then to Orel to link up with FBD-3.

Why the loops? Its next to impossible for partisans to cut lines because there is 2 ways or more to get supplies to the front. I also put 5-7 con units in OKH and AGN,AGS,AGC and move units to areas I want linked up like Kiev,
Nikolaev and hex 71,35



The German OOB is constantly overloaded - more CPs used than available - how do you deal with it?

I over load armies, but not Corp as needed

Do you replace leaders - and how many - do you build fortifications for Winter 41?

I replace leaders as needed north to south, FZ's I might build in the south near Stalino only if I have advances far past it and can retreat to them for a Jan stop line.

Just like to learn from the best German player ;-D
