  1. I like your thinking Von Lourens. Perhaps at least until the game is out of control, I feel there can be excitement gathered in an attempt to try to defend at least the end of the game. One of my favorite games was Panzer General II and playing people online with the worst possible scenarios for the Germans and seeing if I could hold out beyond the victory conditions.

    Again if it is clear there is no stopping an opponent then yes I completely understand the urge to give in. Of course any opponent of mine wants to withdrawal anytime from a game I am always gracious and play them again as long as they give a heads up that they are withdrawing.

    I know :), I fought you my first online game until you captured Berlin :o !

  2. I see allot of the SOE games ending when Russia almost lost the war, or when the Axis is on the retreat in Russia.

    IMO it is still fun as the Axis to keep playing and just try to get the draw or keep fighting and prolong the war as long as possible, or as the Allies try to still get a draw although the Red Army has no offensive power anymore and is holding on to her last strongholds.

    Although I understand the fact that people would rather start a new game as quickly as possible instead of fighting a almost certain defeat.

    What do you boys and girls thinking:)?

  3. Very nice, to see a new Great War AAR.

    Interesting to see you delaying the offensive in the west, very curious to see were the war of movement ends in static trench warfare. In my current game (multiplayer) as the central powers I used a strategy in Belgium were I wanted too keep the losses as minimal as possible. This ended in a Verdun type of battle for Lille were we traded corps for corps before winter set in. Belgium still alive and now the most reserves are in the east.

    IMO the best way is to be very aggressive and accept losses in conquering as much of Belgium and northern France or not invading Belgium in 1914 at all and defeat the Russians.

    Cant wait to see how this is going to end!
