Another big mistake on the first game was the assumption that the Germans could automatically withdraw from a ZOC. \u00a0Oh No. Soviets can using the withdrawal chart, but the Germans cannot. \u00a0This means they are “locked” in ZOCs. \u00a0Makes maneuver difficult. This was a topic of some discussion in blogs, but the consensus seemed to be that the system worked just fine with this apparent limitation.<\/p>\n
The Germans opened the new game with another attack in the center. \u00a0It made limited gains, primarily due to the change in dispositions discussed above. \u00a0The panzer units are not that strong, even with the doubling of combat power due to unit integrity. With the center holding, the Soviets had the luxury of shipping their reinforcements to Stalino, with local units building a defense in depth against the immediate panzer threat.<\/p>\n
The German used both infantry and armor units to continue the attack in the center during Turn 2, causing Soviet units to pull back. Their second movement phase was used to envelope exposed Soviet divisions. \u00a0The Soviets countered by minor shifts in units (their primary units were ZOC’s Up), and building a defensive line running Gorlovka-Stalino-Taganrog.<\/p>\n Charts, Errata and \u00a0a better understanding of the rules does make a difference. \u00a0Shocking! \u00a0Been learning and relearning this for decades. While the actual CRT is somewhat bloodier, the Errata is crucial. \u00a0I caught the wrong lettering for the entry areas, but missed the difference in setup for four Soviet units. \u00a0Absolutely changes the game. … Continue reading Try It Again – With Charts and Errata<\/span> ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.wargamingincentraloregon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/egt22ndgame-300x225.jpg\")
