I enjoyed the read...A well written AAR and spot on. I enjoyed the read and even though I played it, was hanging on the edge of my seat to see what would happen next!<br /><br />My Soviet approach was chosen as I analyzed how the Armies compared to each other before I started. Most of the Soviet stuff I felt too fragile and not able to stand toe to toe with the Germans. Though I had a small elite force that had some punch I felt they needed preserved until the right moment and I almost blew it right off the start line. I used the Russian weak units as a screen to keep the Germans away from my elite units and tried to use speed to manevuer around the Germans and not actually engage them until I had at least three of the four major cities in striking distance. The biggest problem was doing this and still staying in supply which is what I refer to when I state I almost blew it. Also every time a key city fell it moves up the timeline for those dreaded German Panzers on the turn track. As Aaron says he finally realized I wasn't out for a boxing match with him, but in a race for time. If I hadn't taken that city back when I did Aaron would have had me as some very big units would have been added and I had no strength left to oppose him. It was a tense game and it came down to the wire. At the end Aaron realized it was a lot closer than he thought, the reason why I pushed him on to finish when he thought I had already won. <br /><br />In the end it was great fun to game this U go I go game with Aaron. It's been years since we played in a tournament setting online playing Command & Colors Ancients. <br /><br />Cheers<br />Kevin Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496898036305134720noreply@blogger.com
