Or he could advance to easily defensible positions, fortify them, and then let Soviets waste their strength on those fortifications.
Well yes, there's that, but that reasoning would require that I have anything like an understanding of this game, and that is patently untrue. So there. ;)

No way that would result in a decisive victory though. Even if, which I rather dout, the Soviets attack enough to bleed themselves white and allow Germany to advance in the second campaign season, Stalin would just proclaim a Great Patriottic War and you'r back to square one. And I don't think this Wehrmacht can attrition that 3500 extra manpower.

Only a working defensive line like the Wotan Line with a lot of aircrafts and tanks as mobile reserve could stop that humanwave... and that is not considering the West

It in theory could work but I'm worried that, as sebas warned, I will have run out of manpower by the time I start really getting deep into their territory :(
(I've been on holiday the last few days since nye, updates beginning soon again)

Only 1.8ish million militia to throw at the Bear? Seeing as how Germany went in with 3 million+ regular soldiers and still fell short of Moscow after 6 months... ah what the heck am I talking about I already know HOI3 =/= RL:rolleyes:

I have utter confidence you can succeed... but how are your manpower numbers coming along? :p

I was highly thinking of garrisons markkur, but I did want this to be militia only :(
They would definitely work well in defensive roles allowing militia infantry to attack, but I eventually decided to stick with only militia, and to make specialised defence corps to fill the role of garrisons.

To be fair yearzero, this is double the numbers that I usually get when declaring war on the SU, so I was quite happy to see it so high :)
My manpower is sitting at a little over 1000.

I've been very busy and slightly forgetful recently, having had a short river holiday, new years and Christmas, and several birthdays. Maybe update tomorrow, maybe not.
