Mmmhh, lanttu laattikko!

Welcome ulsterandy. For sure a tough game to master. So many detailex rules to start with and then they changed them over the years. Use this forum to learn, plenty of people willing to give advice and clarifications. Manual will only give you the basics.

<t> Gundam, I played you and you gave up after like 4 turns without a word. I tried to contact you but somehow couldn't find you to send you a PM. Was my fault really to accept a server game without knowing the opponent.<br/> <br/> Just a word of advise: if you play like you did against me, you will...

Mmmhh, pavlova.

I thought about it more and am not interested to continue. "South Commander deserts"

Sorry to let you down. Thanks for the learning experience and all the best.

<t> Any point continuing guys?! I can do my turn but I don't really see the point. Good learning experience. Well played on their part in the centre. Additionally, this team play is not really for me to be honest. I miss the coordination, planning and discussion I was expecting. And the Soviet side ...

Any news from Drakken? Have we lost him? Is anyone replacing him?

<t> IMHO we should delay advance to Moscow as much as possible without losing further units!<br/> <br/> South of Moscow we can totally give up, so Tula-Voronezh-Kharkov. Just screen that with paratroopers at 4 hexes from the enemy every turn.<br/> <br/> And my units on refit are already assigned to ...

<t> AGS is not progressing too fast. Allow3d me to send some units to 10 hexes behind the front on refit to build morale. Expecting them back on the line next turn if AGS starts to hug the Dnepr in preparation to get across.<br/> <br/> Bit disappointed with all paratroopers disappearing Wallas. What...

<t> Drakken hasn't responded to my last email either. The game we have going is probably a write off.<br/> <br/> Somehow I don't get email sent to me when any posts are made on this thread, and I don't regularly check this section anyway. So sorry that I have not replied. I'm fine with whatever you ...

If you play it, it's worth the full price. If you play it later, then wait for WITE2 I'd say.

What's TOAW4 like? Heard good things about it.

Ultra Sir Robin defence to avoid any pockets. Interesting to see if a max Red Army can get back from giving up THIS much space so quickly. How is your industry evac keeping up with this retreat, grognard?

<t> Doesn't seem that rare to have 17 straight clear turns, then 1 mud and then straight to snow. Just happened in my game with SparkleyTits. My first ever game getting this far and this happens in north AND center zones! Sorry but not my idea of random weather chances actually working as per the ta...

Why not add to your turn and save just those 2 units in Pskov by moving them NE?

<t> OK, South done. I did 2 counter attacks to get some wins for guards status eventually. Also isolated 2 panzer divs and bumped 2 panzer HQs so their southern spearhead won't have much fuel at all next turn.<br/> <br/> Replaced 1 commander (18th army). 38th army is forming in Kharkov area on refit...

Oh and Kharkov wasn't an intentional 'baiting'. More a lucky bait as it turns out. Feels like it's a real art to guide the Germans where you want them to go in summer 41.

Observation from inside the Bear Cage... pockets can be a real delaying nuisance. Opening them up can rescue a couple units while the rest ties up the spearhead for longer than OKH desires I suspect. It can easily backfire into a bigger pocket but with Kharkov the former is the case so far.

<r> Kharkov is the next area where I will have to fall back.

<r> Kursk area fairly light on both sides. Note on the mini map the masses of units walking to the front from the Urals. On refit to build morale before being railed to the front.<br/> <br/> <IMG src="https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/upfiles/57515/76B9FAB5DF184D65815B099552687C7B.jpg"><s>[img]</s>...
