For now I leave the beta test team and the forums itself. Busy enough for not being able to continue playing and/or participating in the beta test. I would like to say thanks to Borger and Ronnie for letting me to participate as a beta tester in this free expansion game. Really proud about the job d...

I´ve been busy for weeks with no time to continue this game. Now I´m back. Apologies for the ones following this AAR with no news of this game since then.

Turn 65. March 4, 1943 Two more german inf corps destroyed in the East. Furthermore, another finnish corps destroyed and a garrison unit. Odessa was heavily attacked and romanian inf corps there was reduced to 1 step. VVS achieved a really important result destroying hungarian fighter air base at 3...

Turn 64. February 12, 1943 Successful soviet offensive in Karelia continues. This turn another 2 finnish corps were destroyed with the help of VVS. In other sectors of Eastern front there were only minimal activity. Axis defensive line is now completely spotted. http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/580...

Turn 63. January 23, 1943 Pretty good Red army progress in Karelia where a finnish corps was destroyed and other one was cut from supply. There were also attacks near of Pskov so a german inf corps survived at 1 step. Furthermore, a hungarian corps was destroyed 2 hexes SE of Lvov. http://img27.ima...

Turn 62. January 3, 1943 Red Army continued its advance in western Ukraine liberating Vinnitsa and Kherson. In Karelia a finnish inf corps was reduced to 1 step and the other one will likely be encircled and cut off from supply. http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/1750/image1yl.png Still no resumed ...

Turn 61. December 14, 1942 2 german inf corps and 1 romanian mech were destroyed in Eastern front where previously severe winter hit at the end of axis turn. One of the german inf corps destroyed was in Karelia where the soviets have achieved a breakthrough of axis lines, halving a finnish inf corp...

Turn 60. November 24, 1942 This turn Minsk was liberated and so it was spotted what can be main axis defensive line in the East. Defensive line goes from Pskov to Prypet marshes and all of it is polish territory for avoiding severe winter effects. In northern Russia there were also a little progres...

Turn 59. November 4, 1942 Kiev and Vitebesk were liberated. Axis occupation of soviet cities haven´t really lasted much so Red Army will be soon close to pre-Barbarossa borders. Further south, Crimea peninsula was cut from supply 4 and Dnepropetrovsk was completely surrounded by soviet forces so ro...

Turn 58. October 15, 1942 Nothing much happening this turn because of mud weather. Anyway, Red Army around Kiev surrounded and attacked the city reducing garrison unit in Kiev to 2 steps. First air combats between Luftwaffe fighters and soviet fighters that scored a 0:2 favouring the germans probab...

Turn 57. September 25, 1942 Red Army continued advancing in all sectors of Eastern front. Gomel, defended by a romanian inf corps, was attacked by both Red Air force and soviet infantry units. Defenders could not resist much and the city was librerated. Pskov and Vitebesk were both surrounded but s...

Turn 56. September 5, 1942 Something weird happened this turn in Eastern Front since german infantry units, that last turn seized Smolensk and Bryansk, withdrew west abandoning those mentioned cities. This surely means that Doug is going to defend now in the East. But the question is where? No sign...

I think the naval warfare work pretty well in GS. If we had made a Pacific game then we would have had to change the rules, but in Europe the current rules seem to work pretty well. I agree. If you see my AAR against Doug in early game I was able to sink an unlucky german destroyer that intended to...

Turn 55. August 16, 1942 Wehrmacht infantry finally decided to move into Russia. This way Smolensk and Bryansk were taken. In Crimea Sevastopol is under siege and was reduced to 6 steps being reinforced to 9 steps in allied turn. http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/1248/image1gx.png http://img84.ima...

Turn 54. July 27, 1942 AGS panzer forces took Dnepropetrovsk this turn whilst infantry forces entered Crimea peninsula. No significant axis actions elsewhere in Eastern front but Luftwaffe tactical wings moving from Finland to Dnepr river. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/8463/image3cc.png First ...

Problem here IMO will continue to be how to deal with early and strong Barbarossas. I mean that the germans will continue to move very quickly because of 20 hexes supply range no matter they have to wait for several turns for railing units. (Morris strategy)

If we want to make any changes then we could change the rule so only units in or adjacent to cities, capitals, fortresses, mines or oilfields can rail. Then the rule will be symmetrical. This change would add more realism to rail deployments. Right now you can rail a depleted unit in combat that is...

Turn 53. July 7, 1942 Axis forces made significant territorial gains in USSR this turn. AGN captured Pskov and Vitebesk. Panzer forces entered Gomel and AGS seized Kiev and Kherson. To mention high losses suffered by german mech when taking Kiev. Do you think that the Germans will attempt to move p...

Turn 52. June 17, 1942 Panzers crossed Dnepr river and attacked Gomel. Garrison units that last turn successfully attacked a Luftwaffe air base were left out of supply. Many Luftwaffe wings were rebased to Belarus for further operations. http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/6254/image1rf.png Northern...
