War in the East, 44-45 campaign.

First in Berlin gets a a case of Reese Cups from People's Reese Cup factory #1. A rich bounty indeed.

Turn 3, after 8 German infantry divisions are encircled and liquidated. WHERE IS YOUR SEPP DIETRICH NOW? Also units should start to be unfrozen in the north and south. 2 PzGr divisions look like they have been mauled and the AI is keeping them away from the front.



I also discover on turn 2 that soviet arty units one hex back can contribute to prepared attacks. Trotsky would have read the rulebook. LOL

Did you turn of fog of war?

I can't see what is in most of those divisions. Unless they are near my shit or recon flights fly over.

Don't the numbers on the counters give away any priviledged information?

Habbaku

The numbers only show attack and defense or attack and move or whatever the user sets them up to show.  As you'll notice, a plethora of counters show '0-0'.  Those are units he doesn't have any information on due to lack of intel.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

attack and move is my setting.

I'm so gonna kill that 3-9 Cavalry brigade. Comrade Stalin has designated it his bitch.

What are the counters with the triangle under a T?  Labor battalions?  I also don't recognize "P", "PC", and "SEC".  I'm guessing "SEC" is security, "P" might be police.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

If the colors indicate anything, I think P means partisan.  Though as to why some Sovs are burgundy and some are brownish green, I am unsure.  I need this game.

Soviet - red are guards.

German - half black are "crap SS"
