Pelton(GHC) vs Saper Resigned GHC Victory T-36

Post by Peltonx »

1941 GC Sudden Death or Alt VC260
Server game
Locked HQ Support
Full FOW

House Rules:
No Para drops at all.
No bombing of air bases more than 3 times a turn (after turn 1)
No bombing of HQ's unless stacked with a ground unit
No naval invasions before November 1941, none outside the 1939 Soviet borders before January 1943
In addition if Sevastopol is either isolated, or in German hands, none west of the Crimea,
which reflects the scope for air/naval interdiction not really reflected in the game.

Additional Auto VC:
If the Axis player holds
Leningrad, Moscow, Voronezh and Rostov concurrently at any time in 1941 he wins
an Auto Victory. No need to waste any ones time as we all know the end results based on past games if these cities fall in 1941.

Optional Rules Setup:

Mild Blizzard Rules
Non Random Weather
No 1-1 = 2-1

I am playing 3 games at the same time, which is interesting as all 3 seem to being doing something different.
Which is good for others to see what works.

As I have stated the first 4 turns are old school then logistics chain hits hard.
I am kind of surprised so far myself at the results comparing all 3 games over the first 4 turns.


I will start posting when all 3 are a ways out.

Hats off to your opponent for accepting mild blizzard conditions under 1.08. He's not wise by doing so, but we'll see what he makes of it.

T-4 North.

I figured I would not bore people with all the standard stuff.

Turn 2 I easly crosses the Pskov, as in all my past games. Saper then pulled back behind Luga and Shelon rivers as per his standard tactics.

I have moved up slowly waiting on Infantry, I see no need to waste my tanks.

Saper has tried attacking 8 times with only 1 win. In our game that has 1v1=2v1 at the end of 4 turns Saper was 8 attacks and 8 wins.

Saper was 94 wins and 7 loses in 12 turns with 1v1=2v1, Middle Earth win % even GHC does not come close to that.

Over all with 1.08 is same as 1.07-.01

In the south Saper simply ran, no screening units at all nothing with was a mistake on his part.

My advance was slightly better then 1.07, but not a record for me.

Pelton vs Saper 1.07.11

tm.asp?m=3492242&mpage=2&key=

As with 63%% of my games I reach D-town by the end of turn 4. In my game with Shermanny and smokendave, one game I reach D-town and the other I don't.

HQBU 1.08 harder = 1.07.11 the reason they are = is the logistical chain - the port exploit.

HQBU under 1.08 is not as good as 1.07 because of the simple fact GHC can only do 2 per turn because of AP cost.

I have done 4 total 1.08 and under 1.07 I would have done 6 in the south and at least 1 and up to 2 in the north.

The advance looks cool, but its basicly over because of logistics chain.

Only reason I am this far in south is because Saper ran and did not screen.

Saper has railed 20-30 units north leaving the south wide open.

Saper goes 5 for 5 on attacks mostly panzers in open near river crossings.

Saper in the past has been able to completely destroy the LW before summer of 1942. Be interesting to see what happens now that the intercept bug has been fixed.

AGN

As can be seen Saper has transferred most of the high morale infantry from all over the map to the Leningrad area.

Let the grinding begin.

Look at the SHC forces north of D-town OPPPS there are none.

Saper has withdraw close to 40 units from the front.

Basicly Saper plays the big blob tactic.

I can advance at will east of Kiev, AGS has so out run the logistics chain I have to wait until turn 8 anyways before using panzers.

HQBU is basicly completely usless at this point.

It will give panzer divisions only 30-35 MP's and MoT 40-45, yes useless even if you sit panzer divisions they never see full MP's and Red Fanboys want to nerf it, just LOLOLOLOLOLO

SHC in the south does not have to fight, they can slowly withdraw everything to Tula north.

Opinions from one significantly less skilled ...

1) Progress in AGN on turn 5, with such a large mass of strength, super.

2) AGC ... too many infantry units south of Smolensk facing a well-fortified Dnepr. I feel a big push thru the Smolensk landbridge in an attempt to breach the Dnepr river line east of Smolensk, opening up the option to aim for Moscow north, east, or south is better (but less flexible in the short term.)

Doubling up AGN's FBDs thru Vilnius gets supply to AGC Smolensk landbridge two turns earlier (almost) and the delay in extending supply in AGN to Leningrad is not an issue.

3) Your huge push in AGS gains space, but space you will eventually get. Such far-flung Pz units are vulnerable and supporting infantry units 3-4 turns away (significant numbers.)

Breaching the Dnepr just south of Kiev (which you have done due to Sapper's sins ..so to speak ... exclusion is just as punishable as inclusion), threatening a AGC/AGS hookup (which pressure south of Smolensk will aid, in spite of my criticism), or a push east (though just a big bulge), or more likely a push SSE, made more threatening by your breach of the Dnepr, seems to be the best.

However the Hitman is not a Pelton (though I'm pretty good at trash talking, per Sillyflower, who knows a little about insulting verbiage) and I'm open for criticism (but not Sillyflower's, the British expatriate.)





3)

Hi guys,

Thought there was a limit on how many rr hexes could be repaired on any given rail line, such that, 6 in Baltic zone, 4 elsewhere.

AGN

Because Saper is heavy in north panzers from AGC are sent south to link up with 2nd Army north of land bridge.

My main goal is to keep pounding in the hopes Saper keeps the bulk of his good forses near Leningrad.

1. This should make flanking the Land Bridge easyer.
2. Will greatly lower Sapers counter attacks that build guard units, because north of the Oka terrain favors the defender.
3. South of Oka to Rostov will be next to nothing for defenders.

Hitman my railheads, one to Pskov, 1 helps towards Riga then splits of and heads for Smolensk. Center one goes to Minsk, southern ones move out of Romania north of Odessa to D-town.

AGS

More of the boring same Saper with draws 3-5 hexes and I advance 3-5 hexes.

Panzers from AGC head north.

To be honest this is the most boring game I have ever played do date.

Once I get my tanks balled up Saper with draws to the next line.

GHC panzer MP's suck so bad even when you do HQBU's it impossible to do anything other then clear hexes for Infantry.

SHC OOB grows every turn and GHC TOE's in almost every unit is 95% to 100%.

I don't think Saper will have 2 million dead if that, not very historical at all.

The encirclement of Soviet Forces in Kiev was achieved on 16 September.

No doubt your main problem is supply, you are running 2 months ahead of schedule in terms of conquest in the south, so light losses but units stuck.

Yes don't forget Germanny went from Kiev to Rostov in a few weeks, no logistics of WitE or WitE 2.0 would support that
