Lesson learned: DO NOT hit preview on the picture if you post a pic with the lightbox option before you finish your post or you will lose your whole post. I had given you a rather lengthy reply last night TankHunter, but I lost the whole thing when I previewed my screenshot. mad

Anyway.... As far as the Red Army goes, I just globally updated all their units TOE's to 1943 versions. I guessed that STAVKA's mad division making machine and the USSR's 1943 industrial base would even things up, and I seem to have been right.

The only screenshot I have of the big pocket is from two turns after I closed that big sack. I had eliminated over 50 units prior to this shot (it's clickable):



I need to do some further tweaking so I have quit as of the first mud hit in mid October, 1943.

I captured Moscow a few turns after that big pocket. I hold Rostov in the SE and I am across the Don. Stalled around Riga in the North. The Soviet losses were:

Almost 4 MILLION men
Almost 90K guns
Almost 10K Tanks
Over 11K aircraft

32 Tank Corps
11 Mech Corps
80 Inf Corps
11 Cav Corps
264 Inf Divisions smile
18 Cav Divisions
4 Arty Divisions
7 Mountain Divisions

Even with those losses, the Soviet Union is still building units like they have infinite Men and material. I guess that I need to deal them a crippling blow to industry and manpower centers before the first mud and snows to win. Working on it.

I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.
