Germany/Poland:
In an effort to make things easier on myself I have decided to halt most non-Guards units.
Awesome, a battle against 12 King Tigers lasted 60% of my turn...As I get closer to Berlin I am facing more and more ‘ant’ units, which are causing me to burn nearly every turn into an early turn end. In another battle that saw a stack of units containing two ‘ant’ armoured formations I burned 80% of my turn.
At least I managed to destroy the Nordland SS, H. Wessel SS, and 1st Panzer Division, all trapped behind my lines, in this first round.
Well, at least I got to use the 20% of my turn I had left.
I actually did really well, considering most of my turn was pissed away. I managed to gain a hex row or two all along the front line; mainly because I’ve gone back to planning my attacks meticulously and not just rushing off behind enemy lines with my Tank Corps (thought the 7th Guards Tank Corps did run off and take Dresden...)
Serious forces are 140km from Berlin.
Air War:
About 200 enemy craft were downed for the price of 99 friendly craft.
