So this is what happens when one's dodgy internet dies for a day! Moths are driven to the flame!
Krogzar: Indeed, as most people have been saying, there is a bit of a problem of where to go now. I haven't quite decided yet myself, so it should be fairly interesting.
BlitzMartinDK: India might be an option, though a far away one. As for Hungary, I dunno if anyone is guaranteeing them but really, would it matter?
Jemisi: The Soviets seem quite bereft of troops in the areas near me.
shepherd352: Though on the other hand, the issues of going after the British without first decisively dealing with the Soviets are fairly obvious and somewhat legion. I can fight on two fronts, but would it be a good idea to land a heavy blow on one front and then shift to the other?
BlitzMartinDK: They're still neutral.
womble: Well, those seven armies hold about half a million men. They may be a bit stretched doing all that even given Soviet deficiencies, possible German support (inasmuch as they follow me) and my own operational skill.
BlitzMartinDK: To be fair, I think they tried to do something slightly meaningful in Finland. They just failed.
FrodoB: Since when have I shrunk from a challenge?
loki100: Indeed, the Dacian neck may be a bit of a question mark.
FrodoB: The grand pocket: from Archangelsk to Batum!
Zanziabar: Those would be a long twenty-four hours, given that I'd need to develop paratroopers first, and then train them.
Thomas Kenobi: Interesting thoughts you offer here. And I'll consider myself damned!
kmonk99: Such a move would also put me between the Soviets and the Persians, though admittedly the Persian army was probably destroyed to a large extent in Illyria.
reis91: It might be appealing, but does that mean it's the best? Tricky question.
Kanitatlan: Interestingly, it may be possible that the Soviet army has been so damaged in the past two years that their army may not be able to handle a fully active front while still satisfactorily holding two quiescent ones. I think their army's breaking point is fairly near, and just another push or two may cause the whole edifice to collapse and turn the war into a land grab. We'll see.
FrodoB: I'll be damned if I do the Germans' work for them!
Kanitatlan: Indeed. Previously, my moves were very much shaped by geography but now geography is beginning to work against me, leaving me with not obvious options, but a plethora on the table.
reis91: So basically, get the Soviets into Hungary?
And as for Soviet manpower, I assume it's probably on its last legs by now. We'll see how well they reform their army in 1945.
li2co3: Indeed, the theory of strategy and what one might have to do in strategy to accomplish some aim, is fairly different from the actual practice and action of strategy. There's friction, there's enemy action and so on that are all the difference between war on paper and war in actuality (or perhaps, virtuality).
Stuyvesant: Glad to see you again. And yeah, I guess it was pretty good.
Okay, I think I got everyone! Sorry for the short comments to such worthy posts, but I've really got to begin getting ready for work now! Next update will be, connection willing, Saturday evening!
