The fact that the rules you are using allow you that level of tactical flexibility, decision making, and punishment for mistakes make them surely a keeper!

Regarding the Germans getting so many tanks taken out in close combat, it's easy to explain: have a poor plan of attack, get forced to improvise, end up with your armor pushed way too close enemy infantry without supporting infantry, and reap the consequences of your poor tactical decision-making ;)<br /><br />Your children's names? You're a Russian!!!??? ;) I'm sure they're lovely, and so I suppose that is why the Soviets were able to fight tooth and nail and hold out.<br /><br />Yeah, definitely going to take a break from these epic, time-consuming struggles. I've got a really interesting concept for the KG Klink fights in Greece, I'm betting you'll like it!<br /><br />V/R,<br />JackJust Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-81180604519351245702019-12-21T19:04:38.277-08:002019-12-21T19:04:38.277-08:00Hello my old friend, it's great to hear from y...Hello my old friend, it's great to hear from you!

They kept having a good chance and then - bop! A single tube lands. And I don't think I have seen so many tanks have been taken out by infantry close assault in one game.<br /><br />And I hope you know that you used my children's names for some of those strongpoints...A good thing the strongpoints did what they were supposed to.<br /><br />Now you can get back to playing 3 to 4 games in the time it took you to play this one!Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-49287892009713369512019-12-20T05:08:51.647-08:002019-12-20T05:08:51.647-08:00Hello Jack.

In terms of momentum, the only unit I'll say that really affected was the German mech reserve (3rd Plt, 2nd Co, in the halftracks). The German armor was lack of unity of effort owing to improper reconnaissance not identifying Soviet positions early on, and the German infantry attacks (particularly 1st Company) were really just victims of taking a haymaker straight out the gate that they just couldn't overcome. They got roughed up, then spent the rest of the fight in a cycle of rally-get suppressed-rally-get suppressed-rally-get suppressed, without ever really being able to 'get off the x.'<br /><br />2nd Company committed two platoons to going after SP Sasha, but they got thrashed by the Soviet MG Plt right away. They sort of recovered, pushed all the way up to the lip of the Soviet position, but lack of supporting fires saw the Reds toss them right back out, and by the time the tanks (2nd Panzer Plt) was committed, it was really too late, the two rifle platoons had already lost four of six squads and both platoon commanders.<br /><br />Looking forward to the rest of the fights, good luck!<br /><br />V/R,<br />JackJust Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1328749298871119665.post-37218345457256267352019-12-19T19:06:24.447-08:002019-12-19T19:06:24.447-08:00Jonathan,

The Germans couldnt gather up the momentum. Was that due to the card pulls? Your narrative was spot-on. I hope my campaign wrap up can do it justice:)<br /><br />"Army elite" lol.
