@DoManMacgee This would probably require major changes. But here is my case. One of my main reasons for this is historical accuracy. A fairly large amount of Romanian troops arrived after the setup. Specifically it would be on the region board. There actually was a decent amount of Minor Axis reinforcements after the starting date for Race to Stalingrad, 99.9% were all Romanian Reinforcements.

Ground Forces 3rd Romanian Army Arrived early September 1942, transferred from Crimea and the Caucasus. Took positions northwest of Stalingrad along the Don River. By November, it had ~152,500 Romanians + 11,200 Germans. Source: Wikipedia – Romanian armies in the Battle of Stalingrad 4th Romanian Army Arrived late September 1942, deployed south of Stalingrad. Fielded ~75,600 men. Source: Wikipedia – Romanian armies in the Battle of Stalingrad Both of these armies were reinforcements arriving after Aug 21. Air Force Reinforcements Sept 16, 1942: Romanian 7th Fighter Group arrived to support the 3rd Romanian & 6th German Armies. Sept 25, 1942: Romanian 5th Bomber Group arrived. Oct 4, 1942: Romanian 1st Bomber, 8th Fighter, 6th Fighter-Bomber, 3rd Bomber Groups all arrived. Source: Wikipedia – Romanian armies in the Battle of Stalingrad No Italian or Hungarian Reinforcements After Aug 21, 1942 in Stalingrad Area Hungarian 2nd Army stayed far north (Voronezh). Italian 8th Army deployed on the middle Don (northwest of Stalingrad), not in the city sector.

They did not reinforce Stalingrad itself after Aug 21 only the areas around it. I understand that it’s probably not a smart idea to make a major change like this because it will change a lot of the game. But my point is whether it’s a good idea or not to make them more important, it is historical though.

I have posted the savefiles, provided screenshots, and summarized the unit/dice situation in text also. The choice of losses was made and confirmed and confirmed again despite warnings to select carefully;’ more dice were rolled. The loss decision was a major blunder, but that happens quite frequently in TripleA matches. I allow unlimited edits or changes of decisions prior to dice rolls, but not afterwards. This is the norm in League matches. I am going to claim this as a W.

@GeneralDisarray, I have had enough prior tournament successes and will have a busy remainder of the year. Go ahead and take my spot in the OOB playoff bracket and play Round 2 against @gamerman01 .

@AndrewAAGamer

We attac: Kremenskaya, Koutluban, Vertyachi, Kalach, and Buzinovka on turn 1

Thanks, that sounds pretty good.

You are missing Gromoslavka; and I assume the 3 Russian infantry then slide into Abganerovo Station to make that battle go longer. While not a total disaster, that could be an issue as then the Tinguta battle is fighting without supplies which is certainly not ideal.

I would rethink hitting Gromoslavka with 4 infantry and an artillery, all minor axis. While that is an even battle on G1, 6 vs 6, on the Russian counterattack it is most likely 2 vs 8 so the Russians die faster and can’t assist in other battles. It is key to clear the regional board asap so to get into the City board fast.
