Our final two turns should be pretty hectic. It's anybody's game right now and I'm either going to feel great despair or elation, nothing in between. I can't wait to have a hand at the Russians. So what did you play of the games you had mapped out for your time off? This game is really starting to rise to the top of my favorite wargames. Our final two turns should be pretty hectic. It’s anybody’s game right now and I’m either going to feel great despair or elation, nothing in between. I can’t wait to have a hand at the Russians.

So what did you play of the games you had mapped out for your time off?

The Germans have a pretty good hold of the southern part of the map, but Kharkov has been pretty interesting. I used the old Manstein/1st Pzr trick to reinforce an undefended Kharkov on turn 5, and made the Russians put up a bit of a fight to take it. Unfortunately, I've killed very little in the way of Russian Mech (or infantry, for that matter). Each playing of this game gets a little more tense!! Playing this one now, we have two turns left.

Retreating units are not using MPs to move (9.5.1), so I would say you should be able to go to the second hex. #2 - Sounds like how I would have played it. #3 - I would say that the units in question would be eliminated as per 9.5.8. We've played the first 7 turns in the last two days (this is a long game, for what it is), and it's pretty close. Kharkov has just fallen, but there has been little progress for the Russians in other areas. The score at this time is Germans-20 / Russians-15 (The Germans have not killed a single Russian mechanized unit). #1 - Units are not supposed to MOVE after the first hex when crossing an unbridged major river.
