@KraytKing said in Operational Realism House Rules:
I am playtesting this week for the first time, I will write up a comprehensive and detailed AAR. I suspect it will be illuminating.
Awesome :)
AARHE: Rule files

That example is a good point but it does not reflect the notion that the Salient had to be trapped in a few days or the bulk of Soviet forces would have escaped. IN game turns we are talking about 4-6 months ( mostly 6 months) so what we are saying is to create a more refined “tactical” idea within the span of a much larger time frame of 1/2 a year. The possibility to trap armies in say Stalingrad or Kursk took days to perform and this represents a problem to reconcile the two. I feel that because the idea would probably work because:
- it wont come up anyway… the defender will fight to the bitter end ( like Stalingrad)
- The proposed idea does not require alot of rules to impliment…its easy to state and follow
- it may not be the most realistic idea, but its such a marginal thing ( as stated under #1) that its not worth worrying about

still looking for
*case of poor retreat resulting in armies rounded up and destroyed/captured
*case of unforced retreat for purposes of regrouping (hope this is not weird hehe)in WWII
-
from wikipedia’s overview of wwii:
Germany withdrew from the Balkans and held Hungary until February 1945.
Romania turned against Germany in August 1944, threatening German lines of retreat from the Ukraine.
-
i think a good example would be Dunkirk. Talk about how Germany surprised the Allies by sweeping down and cutting off their ability to retreat from there. Even though the Allies evacuated a surprisingly large amount of troops by sea, the units that were left behind were annihilated (sandwiched).

++++ keiv pocket 1941*case of unforced retreat for purposes of regrouping (hope this is not weird hehe)
++++after the first Soviet counteroffensive after the failure of operation Typhon, the Germans were pushed back and exposed 2 rather troublesome sailents. Hitler ordered them to retreat to avoid them being encircled. This was the first voluntary “retreat order” One salient was south of Leningrad and the other west of moscow.in WWII
