I'll be making my PBEM debut in which I'll be trashed big time :upset:
Veers has accepted my invitation to take the Soviet side in Brian Topp's Bagration to Berlin scenario, maximum 52 turns of mayhem on the Eastern Front.
Some small but not insignificant changes have been put in place:
-Formation orders: PO timing for formations turn activations now also applies to both human players (Wait/Hold/Fixed orders are now Delay/Static orders) This forces the Soviet player more or less to follow the historic timing of offensives and prevents the Axis player of transferring too many units to other sectors of the front.
-Map: geographical adjustments in Poland, Germany and Hungary (roughly the same as in my Trotsky's War map)
-OOB: a few cosmetic changes -use of standardized naming and abbreviations, changed icons for air units
-But that's it... events, weather, VP's etc are left untouched.
I'm awaiting Veers' opening turn which won't be a pretty experience for the Wehrmacht.
I'll have to handle my units very carefully.
As Rumsfeld said: you go to war with the army you have, not with the army you want... and for that matter, the Axis in 1944 don't posses too many crack units anymore -with a few exceptions-
I'll be giving the Axis point of view, of course.
