As usual, when I play WITE and do an AAR, I take a lot of pictures and make some comments about it.
But this time it will be shorter. I won't post all these pictures.
As russian I suffered encirclements as usual.
Like this one on the turn 5, nothing but normal even if axis progress is very fast.
But turn 6 proved to be horrible.
In the south, axis swept my rearguard preventing advance past the Dniepr, swept another line of defence 60 miles east, and advanced another 80 miles... all that in a week. Why not? it's ambitious but in open ground.
But I really feel bad with what happened in the north. Axis infantry swept a 30 deep line of defence and then german Pzd advanced 80 miles through swamps and forest in an area almost without roads....
I sent the turn back but the game is over.
Hats off to Sparkley Tits who is a kind person and a master of logistics.
But this game was really desesperating and not fun to play.
Maybe it's my last WITE Campaign. [:(]
I am sorry to hear this Stef . I was so looking forward to a nice AAR to read for the coming year. But as Chaos45 and myself have been ringing the alarm bell pretty loudly about this. That once a German understands the underpinnings of supply along with the Strategic decisions to go along with it the Soviets are absolutely powerless to do anything about it, even with the Soviet +1 attack. This is why I have moved on from this game that I have loved for so long. I will finish what I have in WITE 1.0, but I have moved back to playing the Germans for testing in WITE 2.0.
