Jon, thanks for the AAR.

Do you have some closing comments concerning what went wrong and what went right, and perhaps some closing comments on whether you could achieve the objectives according to your timetable at the start of the AAR?

With all of the upgrades and tweaks that were produced during your test game I would really like to know where you think the AI now stands in  terms of game readines? 50%? 60%?
 
The AAR was great btw
no matter where you go, there you are

You can see how valuable Jon's AARs are to the design team as they highlight areas that need to be reviewed. There will be lots of changes to the campaign this week which will neccesitate ending this game and starting a new one. Pavel is entering in the historical production figures and we are looking at reducing infantry strength in the German divisions. The starting German OOB strength is about 3.2M and it should be around 2.5M or 2.6M so some cuts are needed. Some more reading has revealed that Army Group North and Army Group Center should be fielding infantry strengths of around 40-50% while currently they are at 65%. Army Group South should be sitting at around 85% infantry strength and they are sitting around 90-95% currently. We are also going to use Jentz's figures on Panzer strengths so this should weaken the AGN and AGC tank forces and strengthen the AGS tank forces. I think this will make the Moscow thrust strategy much more difficult but realistic.

It should only be only a couple of weeks. I have to focus on the S&T section for our manual, and I'm also waiting for the production tables to get in line...I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I'm sure Joel will allow me another AAR soon...

Thank you! I enjoyed it.
Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.

Well I miss posted these screen shots in Q&A. Darn wife talking in the rear hard on my ear, got to love to hate them, or is it hate to love them...lol...Anyway the powers upstairs to be are mounting agianst me. Alot of questions may rise on how I did this. Well the real question can I do it agian. If nothing else, shorten the line. I did good by taking population centers. I have enough oil in 42, and the last thing I want to do is spread an already thin line...I placed my crack SS corps to strike north. It was waiting for the first clear weather...

Jon,

Well done...a SS Panzer Corps southeast of Leningrad should draw some of the forces out of Leningrad, and maybe all available reserves from all fronts. I'm assuming that you will take the rail head, just to the north of the SS Panzer Corps and lay siege to Leningrad (that is if they don't come out to fight). Hope you continue to post the siege...be interested in seeing how long Leningrad holds out. Some 900 days in real life! But I'm assuming you will cut off the lake supply route.

By the way, thanks for posting again. missed your insight into the game. Please continue the postings! And as for the wife in the rear, hey you got to have something to look forward too during your furlough from the front!

There is no problem too big that can't be solved with the proper use of high explosives

Here we go...The center, Hoth punched inward aided by 6th Armies XL PzC. Small pockets were formed, but I will draw their reserves to come out and play.

Kleist...He send Mackensen III PzC to provide a strong flank for Hoth. The party has started, the crust is broken, and in open field the panzers rule...
