Scandal engulfs the House of Commons! Churchill suggests arming the barrage balloons to defeat the Flying Boat menace. Also, head of RAF radar command relieved from duty.

And will USSR stay and fight, or abort?

Well, as I see it I got two losses more for rolling one higher and would have had the same result versus my opponent regardless. In my humble opinion it would have been better to put the extra loss on the lower result. So that rolling higher is actually better than rolling lower.

Anyway. I've disliked the 2d10 concept of gathering as many pluses as possible rather than odds since the first release of the table. I still recall the 2d6 table with horror.

But with that said I have resigned to the fact that I will have to use the 2d10 table from time to time.

My feeling is that the game is too predictable and easy for attacker without 2d10. It's all preference though of course.

Status: offline 		Wait until 1944 when every hex has 3 units in it and all sides just want the unit density to go down. Some folks want divisions for the specialty flavor they allow in operations, but want a lower counter density. So they play 2d10 with ‘first loss must be a corps’.

Finlay after som heavy fighting during August the, German forces reached the city’s suburbs and the shores of Lake Ladoga, severing Soviet ground communications with the city. Thus achiving the the first major goal of the Army Group.

Status: offline 		Many generals favored strengthening the Army Group Center for a rapid advance on Moscow, where they believed the main enemy force to be located. There it could be destroyed, they thought, bringing a Clausewitzian total victory. But Oberkommando des Heeres (OKH) ,refused. Instead, they strengthened Army Group South, taking away men and resources from Army Group Center in order to make it ready for the assault on Kiev. But Guderian failed to unitiles the resources due to bad weather and short summer weeks and just mangaged to reach the opposite shores of Dnieper before being stoped by the Red Army.
