Exactly.
All that he really needed to do, or could hope to do for that matter with any sort of mobile reserve was harass the German spearheads long enough to allow local withdrawals, so the Red Army could escape to the next river line intact and delay until the +20% Territorial Pride decision could be fired. It's just that a static defense so close to the border had no real hope of success against the superior German units.

Well, that was an interesting AAR. I kind've liked it myself and I hope to see more in the near future. Anyway, could you tell me which Virtual LAN you used if any at all?

Thanks. Yeah... more will come. Pretty soon. I just host on IP. That has actually been the most stabile sollution.


It seems questionable to have tried to defend the Marsh at all, rather than just leaving it empty. And there were no mobile reserves?

At that point, the entire SU front had collapsed into a few desperat groups of units trying to reach safety somewhere. But no, it doesn't seem like SU had left a real mobile reserve behind the lines. Still, if they have had a mobile reserve, that had meant even fewer troops at the border, and the German Blitz would have been even faster - and the mobile reserve could only realistically been used at one location. Still, stopping the onslaught on one location would have been valuable.

Hey guys - this is just a heads up that the new Carnage AAR is initiated - The Noble Carnage. I hope you will join me in yet another bloody multiplayer clash... told in a slightly different way.

Cheers,
