Morris Axis vs Kragdob Allies

[shawkhan]

Looks like I called it for Stalingrad at least. Any significance to not showing the northern front?
Moscow now looks impossible before wnter.

I don't think that Moscow was Morris' real target. I bet that he just wanted to scare Kragdob a bit and take as much territory as possible without overextending himself. Both Rostov and Stalingrad will fall, the real question is what will Morris do next. He may be tempted to go further south, but going further than Maikop would be quite dangerous IMO.

Moscow is almost always impossible in 1941 unless Allies player is AI

Sept 10th 1941 fair


Finally we conquer Stalingrad ! Also we conquer Tula in front of Moscow . But since millions of Red army are waiting for us around Moscow , we decide to stop our offence & prepare for severe winter .

Sept 30th 1941 fair


The last guarrenty fair turn , we just kill several more Gars who want to escape from Stalingrad . & everyone begin to prepare for the bad weather .

It's probably a good idea to retreat back to the Don river and just leave some unit in Stalingrad. If you can hold the Don through the winter the Russians will struggle in 1942 when the Spring offensive begins.

Will the units stay in Stalingrad be in dangerous in severe winter ?

[Cybvep]

Well, the rail conversion rules, big distances in the South etc. will be advantageous to you. If you withdraw in an orderly manner, you should be able to avoid severe losses during winter.

Millions of Red army move forward into their offence position. we lost several cites but it is not hurt .The real challenge will be severe winter .

Dec 19th 1941 winter



severe winter will come in any minute , Russians take back several cites & several minor corp killed . We just sit & wait for the Russian storm !











Our sub also found some RN move into eastern Med . It seems Alllies will launch some mission in Med .

I strongly hope that you will be victorious at the end of game. In my point of vue the game and the GS 2.10 mod look severly unbalanced in favor of Allies, i hope to be wrong. Please proof me (us) that Axis can win a game.. I never seen that.

maybe I will make you disapointed It is too difficult to achive it !

I agree with you but i don't understand how i can find in the forum a sentence like this :

I don't want to re-open the general discussion about which side has the biggest chance to win. That discussion is over and we think we have a pretty balanced version now.

They never play with the mod ? I played only 2 games, the first one against the Allied AI, but the second as Allies in a PBEM game, i will be at Berlin before the end of 1943.

I'm playing a third game, PBEM as allies, and we are playing the third turn of the invasion of Soviet Union, it's a german failure. I allready managed a counter-offensive with my powerfull and armored red army.

Sorry for disturbing you so interesting AAR.

No problem ! BTW , I do understand your feeling .

[Kragdob]

You still need to see some things but I generaly agree that Allies are favoured in the game.

Jan 9th 1942 severe winter


Red army move forward to our defence position ,but few fight happened , we just lose several no production city . maybe next turn ,they will make full attack . we still did not find all elite units ?!

[Morris]

Jan 29th 1942



Red army begin their storm, but they did not make serious hurt . Also they seems want to attack our Stalingrad group .























In Med , Allies comes to Crete & where will they go ? Greece or Sicily ?

[Morris]

Feb 17th 1942 severe winter



Stalingrad campaign ! It looks we will lose Stalingrad before fair weather arrive . In the north , Russians retreat !

We try to concentrate more units around Rostov & prepare for the blue case in 1942 !





















We also lost Crete .

[Cybvep]

Huh, why you left ARM units near Stalingrad? That's a rather bizzare move in 1942 IMO. ARMs are very expensive and you only get 4/2*war effort from Stalingrad per turn. I even see two leaders there!
