[Stalingradski]

Well, I set myself up for a pincer in Belarus (I had to meet your aggression with aggression), but never would have imagined a planned 3 round strafe would net me the same result in 2… I got very fortunate in every way imaginable.

It was an early death for me if I got too many hits, or too few, or lost a couple air units.

As it is, that attack left me up by about 10 infantry on the front (9 infantry + a few IPCs for the missed 1/2 fighter), by my count.

[Stalingradski]

Also, edits were because I mistakenly retreated to Archangel instead of Bryansk.

Huh, well that’s the game I think.  I’ll play a little more, but I do not think Germany will be able to recover after that.  :-P

Oh man, that’s absurd. We’ll chalk this one up (so far) to insanity with the dice, because otherwise your strategies are sound.

But it’s not really over - Germany can stay a beast for a long, long time as you know - and I tend to be more of a methodical squeezer than a quick and decisive slicer and dicer  :-)

I wouldn’t count you out, but the dice have given me a decisive advantage.
