I didn't realize Soviet CV increases AND German CV decreases during a blizzard. I thought it was just a German CV decrease. I was too aggressive and didnt realize this until it was too late, and late mud killed any chance of a late withdrawal. (weather forecasts are not exactly reliable either). The only somewhat good news in all of this is it happened on the 1st turn of the blizzard. So I say another 8 turns they may be ready for action...of course a shell of what they once were. Im usually good for one absolutely idiotic move a game...this is pretty fatal, but may not be a total show stopper. Other than the panzer disaster in army group north everything else was going well.

So what were everyone else's worst moves?

It cycled through many leaders and at one point I was to realize Zhukov was put in charge of it.

That being said I enjoyed and am enjoying playing both of my opponents, even if it is a steep learning curve.

I absolutely love it and it takes far to much time away from that thing called "Real Life".

Status: offline 		Worst move, well as the Russians I become complacent when the AXIS runs out of steam, so I stand and fight, only to get belted.

Mistakes I make are usually UI errors, ie moving one unit in a stack of three, only to find that I have moved all three, and it can't be undone.

And the golden rule is never play this game when you are tired.

Yeah...it p.sses me off too, in fact WITE2 should incorporate some way to reverse move like allowing
2/3 to be moved back.
