. Thats good to see the allies destroy the German planes early on! Should make it very hard to win.

Really nice AAR, my compliments Obsolete! 
The allies sneeking in your back though, could really get a pain in your ass!

I am sure I will buy Panzer Corps...
but I was hoping slitherine & co would have gotten rid of 'taking a lone city behind the lines and building a new army' strategy. Could not a
basic supply system be instituted ( trace a continual area of control to main supply center)?

I agree that's the one issue (supply & reinforcements) that people have been complaining about the PG series since day one. Part of the problem is PG is supposed to be FUN & EASY TO PLAY. Beer & Pretzels they call it. There is TOAW and other series for those wanting a more complex supply system.

Did some thinking, technically there is an airport there, so one could start to make an abstraction that units can be air-dropped over there, and there is a rail-way network as well. One can pretend the heavy tanks come in by rail, with the lighter stuff being dropped.
Hmm...

I agree beer and pretzel amusement, and I will buy it. However, if it had basic supply rules , eg surrounding units and cities lowered supply/action points, the game would have an added strategic element to the rock/paper/scissors of the unit tactics. It would make those huge strategic maps ( stalingrad/moscow/france/middle east) even better, and allow a viable market garden scenario. Maybe in panzer corps 2?

There are basic supply rules - Alex knows the details but you cannot capture a town and immediately start using it. You have to hold it for a number of turns beofre it can be used to upgrade and recruit units.

@roman1uk: Units that have enemy next to them get less ammo/fuel when supplied (increasing impact with higher number of units surrounding), also reinforcements are reduced or blocked as well. Cities cannot build new units if there is a single enemy unit adjacent.
This is from the original PG and I am sure that at least this level of supply mechanism has been carried over.
@Ian: The delay sounds excellent! Can you also confirm my above assumption about supply/reinforcements?

Yes I know those rules are all true and work in game currently but think there may be others too - I know it was discussed!
