Kuniworth Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 The best military machine in the world unleashed on the World's largest army We will be playing my eastern front scenario stretching from june 22nd 1941 till may 9th, 1945. Unit size are corps and Soviet armies. Turns are 1 week simultaneous. This is the largest military campaign in history and it will be do or die in Russia. The winner will be the one that holds Berlin, Moscow, Stalingrad, Leningrad before the scenario end date. Otherwise - stallmate. Ok let the war begin.

Ranchero Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 June 22, 1941. Just completed the first turn as the axis player. First impressions are WOW, vast scope and detail. I did not look at the scenario before we started to play, so the events will be surprise. I punched some holes in the front line as expected and took two cities. Soviets are counter-attacking at some areas while pulling back the bulk of the army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranchero Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 June 29, 1941. Minsk and Biayalostok fall, one Yugo partisan popped up, Slovakia, Hungary and Finland join. Trying to push aggressively against the retreating Soviets, but I can already see supply will become an issue early on. Soviet navy bombards the Finnish HQ.

Ranchero Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 July 6, 1941. Lvov falls. One more Yugo partisan appears. The Allied bombing script is a nice touch. Reduces certain German cities, is it random? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuniworth Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Question about bombing...both historical raids as well as a random raid are included. July 6, Attack on the Karelian Isthmus against Finland. Panzers are at Mogilev, not far from Smolensk. Meanwhile we sign a treaty with the UK and Hitler announce that the Yugoslavian state cease to exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuniworth Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 july 27, 1941. German panzers are withdrawing in the central sector. Finns are pushed back towards Helsinki. They can't stand the pressure of our tanks. In the north the germans are bogged down. Riga holds and they are far from Talinn and Pskov. In the south germans are rolling up the stalin line and coming closer to Odessa and Uman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
