Let me be the first one to say this............... invading Russia eh? Traitor!!! [:D]

Jokes aside, I hope you do exactly what you did against M60. This should help to improve the game if there is indeed a problem.

Good luck and good hunt [:)]

So far nothing different then anyone esles first 2 turns.

AGN: just over river, standard turn 2
AGC: seems not as good as many turn 2's as the spearhead can easly be cut off
AGS: Again standard turn 2.

Same goes for supplies to units, nothing other then standard turn 2 stuff.

From what I have seen in AAR's the first 4 turns are the standard normal GHC openings post 1.06.11

Its turns 5-8 that matter as Railheads are very far behind the front.

It would be nice if we knew where railheads are at some point.

A break in the movement on T3 is not too bad for the Axis. It relieves some of the pressure on the Soviets but it is also a bad supply turn for the Axis too. This will allow the rail heads and infantry to close up a bit while keeping the Soviets from being able to run too far - or to maneuver into defensible terrain. Turn 3 is also the Soviet reserves coming on line in Leningrad and Moscow areas. The mud will keep them pretty stationary (not that they are really worth anything until T5 with morale and TOE).

Turn 3 is usually first turn for HQ buildup also and the movement points lost don't feel that bad then. On the other hand it also depends on what the situation was after turn 2. Personally, turn 4 is the real killer if it gets muddy :P

I have found that the Axis does much better with only one or two HQBU or even none. The supply situation in late 41 is markedly better without massive HQBUs.

I really like it when someone takes the opportunity cost (Wiki: Альтернативные издержки) into consideration.

There is another twist to the issue. If the Axis retreats a couple of hexes, it is the Soviet vehicles that will be lost in supply operations.
