ORIGINAL: Beethoven1 You have been doing a good job, the best job of any Germany player in the StB scenario I have seen so far anyway, and as such it is interesting to read your take on it. It is interesting that you also attacked the Kalinin salient. That seems to be a common running theme, that sooner or later Germany will do something there if the Soviets don't watch out for it. Although you didn't do it right at the immediate start, you came back to it later. Yes, the single rail line between V.L. and Rzhev is very important. When you were making your incursion into the north/west side of the V.L./Toropets salient, did you consider trying to attack from the other side at the same time at all? Could that have been at all feasible? Also, I note that you seem to have evacuated from Demyansk at the beginning. How much do you think doing that is responsible for how (relatively) well you are doing, and how much worse do you think you would be doing if you had not done that? I was considering attacking from the other side, but the point of doing that would be to encircle the units inside the VL salient. Even with the SS units I got, I still wouldn't have enough infantry to consolidate the encirclement. I decided that stopping the supply to VL is good enough. The withdrawal from Demyansk has helped, but at most I think it has put me only a turn ahead of how I would be doing if I didn't withdraw so early. This is because Tyronec himself withdrew majority of his forces at the Demyansk salient so we both ended up freeing up troops.
