End of turn 17
The game is over by this point the rest of the turns are just about collecting a few points 20 per turn before I take the last Flag.

End of turn 24
Turns 17 to 24 nothing happens as I am only waiting for the 100 odd points and at the end of turn 24 I took the Flag to finish the game.

The Long War
Budapest 45
The eighth Battle of 45
Field marshal
Starting Points 17626
After Replenishment and re-enforcements 11797 points (all Tiger II's are finally maxed out)
Core
9x SS GebirgsJager 43 and SDkfz 250/251
1x Bridging engineer
1x SS MG 45 and SDkfz 250
8x SS Tiger II
13x SS Tiger I
2x KV85 (r)
1x prototype Maus
1x prototype Jagtiger
5x SS 17cm K18's and SDkfz 7's
3x SS 21cm MRS and SDkfz 7's
4x SS sIG 33
4x SS Flak 40 and tractor
1x Mobelwagon
1x Wirbelwind
1x SS Bf 109k
5x Me 262A
1x Bf 109G
4x Ju 87G
1x Ju 87B Recon
1x Me 410A
1x Fw 190G
3x Ju 188A
The Game was easy in the North and Centre but the south was a real grind, not only did I get the balance there wrong, but at least 2 of my tigers were very badly hit and I had to spend points on at least 1 to keep it alive (expensive). I just managed to keep the Aux alive in Osijek and Donji but again I spent a lot of points on their survival only for them to nearly be wiped out when they crossed the Drava River, At least it stopped my core taking punishment, but I felt the loss after carefully looking after them. At Budapest I pulled all the forces across the Danube before they were over run. The key to me was to get Air cover and a bit of Tac over Budapest and Osijek and Donji, they took the pressure of the defenders by taking out some of the Armour attacking them allowing them some space to survive.
Got my DV after 24/24 turns but I could have finished it at 17/24 but I only finished on 11227 points.

Whoa this was a costly battle but you pulled it off.
Very well done. You are almost there. Thanks for this tremendous effort to give an inside look on how it can and maybe should be done.

Re: SS Core run through 39 to 45?
Hi Goose,
Thanks,
you are right it was costly to get back to where I was before the start was expensive 3621 points, one tiger was down to 4/10 and a lot of others had been hit for 1 or 2 usually by air or arty but as I suspected it was really the King Tigers/ tiger II's that cost me the real money, even though I only had minor losses 15/10 to 13/10 the cost to put it back to 15/15 was... Wow how much! but I think I now (just) have enough points to get to the end. I really got the southern kamf wrong, too under powered by an infantry or 2, but it is what it is.

Re: SS Core run through 39 to 45?
Hi guys. I have just finished the play through to the end, I Just have to post Sealow hieghts, Berlin, Belin Redux and the Final game. I am not sure what to do, do you want me just to post as normal which will give good clues how I do it or do you want turn by turn maps? I do not want to give it away if people do not want to Know?
Sealow was !7/17 to max points, Berlin was won by 27/32 but I kept it going to 32/32 for points, Redux was 27/40 and the last game was turn 5/14.

Re: SS Core run through 39 to 45?
Well I have yet to play Redux and Epilogue so I will have to wait to view until after I do my playthrough. Since I required 3 times to do Berlin, I would be very interested in the massive day by day maps defensive posture of yours so I can do a comparison.
But again I will postpone my review of your set up until after I complete my final 2 missions which I am not sure when I will get around to as I am enjoying other missions at the present time.

Spoiler Alert
Berlin
End of turn 1
There are 4 screen shots for the first 2 turns and then I can fit the next few turns on 1 screen shot as the action is compact. I will also show the overall map each turn.
