Ok, I will have nothing of that in here, and Pelton has given loads of excellent advice in my AARs.
So play nice kids [:)]
But did you get what I ment Pelton?

Yes, thank you and everything does seem to be working as designed aka 1.07.10
Hopefully you can make it to the point when these +52 divisions start showing up.

We shall see. Atleast I can soon abandon Rumania, that shortens the front a lot.

Turn 163
Overall
No major disasters, however the line in front of Rumania is pierced, and the USSR lands some brigades inside Rumania itself. We have now pulled back to Rumania, we did not however disband any Rumanian fortified zones. I'll take those extra 1 CVs from the Rumanian pools any day at this time.
The USSR launched 62 attacks, and scored 19 helds, 40 retreats and 3 routs. Our 4 attacks gave a result of 2 helds and 2 surrenders (2 USSR ski brigades destroyed).
Losses
USSR : 71.000 troops, 742 guns, 210 AFVs, 710 AC.
Axis : 66.000 troops, 1.340 guns, 100 AFVs, 92 AC.
German units destroyed
The 86th LW SP Light Flak Battalion.
German units disbanded
6 Fortified Zones, FBD 2 and FBD 3 (last two as I no longer need them), and the 52nd Infantry Division is merged into the 73rd.
Partisans
We destroy all 4.

Turn 164
Overall
A quiet turn, and that makes me afraid. They are usually followed by a complete train wreck of a turn. Sean has indicated that his aim for 1944 is to flip Rumania, and take K-berg. I think/know he will succeed with his goals [:D]. Recon flights shows that most of the Red Army has been relocated to the north, which makes sense as that sets them up for the closest route to Berlin. For now, we do as ordered by Austin Powers, and dig, dig!!!
25 USSR attacks cause 8 helds, 1 scouted, 11 retreats and 5 routs. Our 3 attacks score 2 retreats and 1 surrender (another pesky amph landed ski Brigade).
Losses
USSR : 45.000 troops, 306 guns, 107 AFVs, 418 AC.
Axis : 28.000 troops, 408 guns, 31 AFVs, 126 AC.
German units disbanded

Turn 166 aka Failed attempt at the "Pelton-line"
Disclaimer
The screenshot did not "take"...
Overall
Rumania flipped, and although I thought I had a "Pelton-Line" in place, it seems I did not, as I was merely left with a thin slice of Rumanian land on my hands. Oh well, atleast we saved Hungary, although I believe the Hungarians might have wished for another result [:D]. Most likely we will lose some units in the coming turns, as I cannot hold back anything. At this time a swarm of schoolgirls would overwhelm most of my units I am afraid.
58 USSR attacks this turn, resulted in 24 helds, 27 retreats, 2 routs, 1 shatter and 4 surrenders, while our 3 attacks all ended with retreats.
Losses
USSR : 68.000 troops, 985 guns, 388 AFVs, 511 AC.
Axis : 72.000 troops, 1.362 guns, 130 AFVs, 210 AC.
Axis units destroyed
44th and the 183rd Infantry Division, 102nd Hungarian Reserve Division, 31st, 81st and 180th LW Flak Regiments, 509th Heavy JagdPanzer Battalion, 5/52nd SP Flak Company.
German units disbanded
101st and the 102nd PzBrig were merged into two PzDivs, to regrow some strength in the divisions.

Turn 167
Overall
Parts of Rumanian flipped back this turn, and the 1st Rumanian CavDiv was so confused that they simply surrendered to us. Not much happening really, despite the fact that the USSR made 74 attacks this turn. The result was ok for us, with 33 helds, 38 retreats and 3 routs. But some mud would be nice nevertheless. Our 3 attacks ended with 1 held and 2 retreats.
Losses
USSR : 82.000 troops, 1.052 guns, 424 AFVs, 460 AC.
Axis : 68.000 troops, 1.547 guns, 254 AFVs, 108 AC.

Overall
We are in a lot of problems at the Vistula. Even if we do get mud soon, the problem is that the USSR will likely breech the Berlin area during winter since there is no penalty for cross river attacks then...
34 USSR attacks results in 20 helds, 13 retreats and 1 rout. We perform 4 attacks and score 1 held and 3 retreats.
The Slovaks decide that it is better to surrender now than when the USSR is inside their territory...

RE: Laugh n a 1/2 - No Manstein63
looks like you have a tough decision (now how is that for insightful commenting [8D] ) - probably what is left of your defense, esp in the sector S of Warsaw is holding up a substantial Soviet force. Pull out too early and it may be like letting the cork out of a bottle, too late and you are set up to hand them a huge encirclement.
