Does it improve the realism too? How does it compare to SH3/SH4 mods?

Why in the fuck would they do that? GUI mods were the fist thing I looked for after installing GWX. Manually targetting shit with the default GUI is tedious as fuck and that also made me get the AOB and speed wrong more often than not.

>>127451542
havent really played sh4. but yeah its a full realism mod. damage increases, the op skills are deactivated. duds are based on real statistics. default is no radar, and real navigation. dive speed, speed turning time etc are realistic.

so yeah its up there with gwx for sh3 in my opinion, its more realistic when it comes to damage and stuff, but there arent as much new ships and stuff.

its just the UI, like the map buttons, compass and shit like that, you can disable it in the patcher, its appearently more stable.

Where is the hexshit, /wgg/? Where is it?

>>127453767
Interesting, do you have to be registered for downloading that, and do you need to have a legit SH5 copy?

Also, does it have features similar to the hardoced fixes (like, air reserves being divided into renewable and nonrenewable partitions, waves affecting the chance of duds depending on the depth you set torps to, magnetic pistols cocking up if you fire them during bad weather, or the allies dropping sound guided torps on you)? Are you still stuck with the Type VII? I'm not very fond of uboats that aren't the Type IX, and I find the XXI to be disgustingly easy to play.

Aby ideas on how I can be less shit with countering arty spam in AS2?

I have tried small recon squads to find and flush mortar carriages and howitzers out but stealthy at and ambushes make that a 50/50 gamble.

Counter arty never hits for me and is a waste of CP most of the time. I would rather get a med tonk for the price.

I cant just keep hiding and shifting my lines around all game, especially when I am losing ground.

I managed to sneak a radio operator behind enemy lines and nuke a howitzer last night but that was a miracle.

I know arty is shit and I am shit for not being able to handle it, but I am trying to be less shit. I am fine -- and often ahead -- until death rains from the sky.

Beyond NATO symbols and on map stuff it's not hard to design a nice UI with slick menus. Every other person in the world is a half rate graphic designer or so it seems. Find one, they design the UI, devs code it. Profit.

>>127457229
HoI has little replay value because only the major powers are any fun.
Also it's combat-centric and combat is the worst part of paradox games anyway.

>>127457525
>The worst part
How so? I enjoy it in HoI, though some things could use work. I don't really give a shit about the politics and economic side and just leave the AI on for that because it's boring and empty anyway.

>>127457471
I won't fight you too much on that one; it can be a little difficult to shell out 40+ bucks for a shit UI, but I think in generally designers want to not make it so "gamelike" for the older crowd. What wargames do you like, senpai?

>>127455908
What justification, if any, is given for the Gnazis being able to cross the channel, especially with heavy armor?

>>127457658
Microing large fronts gets real tedious really fast, that's assuming you don't get bogged down due to supply system going full retard (though it's at least much better now than it was in vanilla HoI), theatre ai is absolute dogshit, and god help you if you try to play as SU. That's how I feel about HoI3 at least.
Plus the map is too granular for air combat to work with how fast planes are.

>>127457658
In everything that isn't HOI combat is mostly diceroll, stack size and technology based. Generals usually only add numbers to the diceroll. Terrain subracts it to the attacker's roll. In the slightly more complex games like CK2 or Vicky 2 generals also add/subtract shit like morale/discipline. Unit composition is largely irrelevant, you can't get creative with it. The fun part of Paradox games for me is unfucking shitholes in Victoria 2 and you achieve that 80% with economy and politics. Map painting in EU4/CK2 is stupidly easy and almost completely brainless, might as well play Ace Combat or some other shit like that.

I used the Ju 88 A, but you can also buy He 111 H2 and Do 17z. Good luck getting into range with any of those 2 tho, in the mission when you're supposed to pull the magic the Do runs out of fuel on the channel and the He 111 can barely make it back.

I think refuel at sea is possible. the the range of the later models are increased as far as I know, so that op drumstick and shit is possible. this is in vanilla sh5 too.

>Can you start campaigns at an arbitrary rate?

You can still make a nice UI without it being gamey. Clean, simple, and efficient is all I am asking for. When you went to school for stuff like this it really really really grinds your gears when you're unemployed and all these companies don't even begin to know the first thing about an appealing layout and you'd happily deign them one for a free game and a couple hundred bucks at this damn point. Simple things like font choice, proper contrast, cleaner icons etc go a long, long way.

Mainly Graviteam as I'm a bit fresh to the simulation side of things, but I've given OpFp and Armored Brigade a shot. I play them over MoW and the like when I'm feeling like flexing only my brain muscle.

>>127459860
Sea lion is fun, damn tough but fun and i'd say it's worth it.

Afrika corps is... i like it a lot, but i feel that if you're limited in which DLC to buy then you'll get a more fresh experience getting another one.

Allied core feels like a break from the wehrboo atmosphere the main game gives, but i haven't played it much so i can't make a decent review.

If you're planning on getting a full grand campaign but can't get them all. The Eastern front is longer, bloodier and you fight a desperate retreat all the way to Berlin.

The Western front has you fighting commandos with 6 or 8 vets (can't remember) and a bunch of second line captured units. Then you fight in Italy, Normandy, Market garden and finaly the battle of the Bulge (if you manage to get decisive victories only you can make anime real and do Sea lion 45)

The Dutch concentrated on trying to run over the middle and left, so on the relatively clear right I'm going to sweep my tanks west and into where I can hopefully catch their HQ and mortars undefended, as well as intercept their reinforcements.

The MSK is holding in center but not for long, I'll need to reinforce them after the arty (9x neutralizing fire orders from the D-30s) cleans up the hill on the left.

I don't get it

3rd Kompanie of the Tank battalion, in good cover, caught the entire reinforcing Dutch tank squadron in the open and obliterated it piecemeal, suffering only 1 tank loss in return. They should be unimpeded now as they dive into the NATO rear.

On the western flank, the hill has been cleared of dutch forces and I'm sending a lonely tank to plant the East German flag there. The MSK on that flank is now being redirected to the center, to reinforce the MSK there which is now facing the brunt of the Dutch stragglers.

III. Kompanie of the Panzers became bogged down by infantry, but defeated what they could and are now advancing. III. Kompanie of the Mot Schützen are moving in to clean up the town block.

II. Kompanie swept north, and discovered the enemy mortars, managing to wipe out a battery. However, I have made the folly of forgetting the Dutch organic AT units. As the tanks entered a clearing, they were ambushed by the SPAT companie hidden there, and completely obliterated, but not before cleaning up a few trucks of the mortar's supplies.

The Mot Schutzen in center have been reinforced and relieved, and are chasing out the last of the Dutch on the objective.

Two questions about this game

Is there a way to figure out what all the stuff on the counter means?

What are the differences in the move options (fast, deliberate, assault)?

File: counterguide.png (92KB, 800x600px) Image search: [Google]

92KB, 800x600px

>>127500519
Here's a quick guide I whipped up.

>What are the differences in the move options (fast, deliberate, assault)?

Hasty - Unit uses maximum speed and roads. However, they move in a formation without regard for cover and are extremely exposed. Used when speed is a priority and you are safe within your own lines where you're sure there is no risk of enemy attack. Routed/scooting units also use this mode by default.

Deliberate - General purpose move order. Units advance at a moderate pace, using available cover. Used when advancing to contact or in unknown territory.

Assault - Units attack using all available speed and without much regard for cover. This is the only type of move order where a unit will attempt to enter close combat with the enemy (Sharing the same hex). Used when assaulting an identified enemy position and not for general movement, as it costs unit readiness to move in this fashion.

>>127501945
Dang, thank you so much! This is really helpful. I'm trying to experiment with scenarios and learn the game that way and through LPs, but basic info like this escaped me.

For some units once you move there is a new window that discusses various options as well, what are those all about?

>>127502573
The two that stand out are Disembark range for infantry, and options in general.

Disembark range just tells an infantry unit at what range it should "disembark" it's infantry: The infantry and their weapons are brought to bear (And don't die every time a carrier is lost), but the unit inherents the L (leg) movement type which slows them down considerably.
Ideally you do not want a unit to disembark until it is within cover close to the target. So if you order them to objective X and the city containing it starts two hexes from the objective, then you want your infantry to disembark at a range of 2 hexes from their objective.

The other option available to most units is your orders on what the unit should do when it is done moving. Screen will tell the unit to use cover, but engage the enemy at a preferable stand-off range (that is different for every unit), and then scoot away when the enemy is within the threshold, or they take losses. An Abrams platoon for example has a standoff range of 4 hexes, or 2 kilometers where their weapons become most effective. If a Russian tank company closes to a range closer than that, they automatically scoot away to increase the range. The disadvantage of Screen is that they do not use as much cover (Do not dig-in) and are thus more vulnerable to fires, especially artillery.
Hold tells the unit to dig in and, well, hold their position until relieved. However, a unit suffering enough morale damage will ignore orders and retreat. Units in Flashpoint have some degree of self-preservation and may even outright ignore a suicidal order.
Resupply tells the unit to, well, resupply, replenishing Readiness (The unit's mobility, responsiveness to orders, and killing power) and Ammunition.
On-call is for artillery only, and tells it to be ready to receive fire mission orders.
Helicopters are unique in that they can only be ordered to screen, and are also the only unit in the game that automatically retreat to HQ/FARP to resupply.

so is there a crack for red storm after all?

II. Kompanie of the Panzer battalion ran into the ATGM trap as well and has been reduced to 1 tank. A Dutch infantry platoon has been spotted moving to finish it off.

Center objective is pretty much secure, pending the mop-up of two Dutch infantry platoons there. Further incursions are occuring to the western objective however, so I'll have to rotate the center MSK there to hold it. Meanwhile, Hans has planted the flag and is now being a cheeky cunt with his tank as they take potshots at an exposed dutch infantry platoon from the forested hill.

Nothing new on the Eastern flank.

>>127505375
It's a Warsaw Pact army, so more or less, yeah

>>127505375
Oh, orders phases are very short and should model modern communications well in normal conditions. But these are combat conditions. Handing out orders to units takes time, getting a clear signal through enemy jamming takes even more time. And you do need to space out and move between issuing orders: If you keep trying to continuously micromanage your army, you're giving comrade fucksky and every other enemy SIGINT officer a good bead on your location where they can relay a proper fucking to you via artillery or airstrike.

>>127505801
Is also correct here. A NATO command structure is much more fluid and flexible than a Warsaw pact command structure. Think this is biased? Then just open up Excel or whatever spreadsheet program you have, and modify the faction options to your liking in the data folder.

Got MoW2 earlier today. Anyone recommend any good guides/ways to get a foothold on this? I have experience with CompanyOH2 and Wargame Red Drag, if that helps you build a profile of what kind of cock I suck.

Notice in the side that I've opened the C3 tab - this regulates how long an orders phase will last.
Factors here include:
>Local EW hindrance (In this scenario it is Low, but still present. There is no option to remove it completely.)
>Size of Force: Bigger force takes more staff resources
>Surviving HQ subunits: Speaks for itself. Holes in your C3 will dramatically increase your orders delay.
>Surviving subunits in general: Reflecting unit cohesion
>Overall force readiness: The orders delay doesn't just cover the issuing of orders, but also the ability of your force to carry them out. This is another reason why keeping your unit readiness up is important: If your soldiers are all fatigued, their radios are fucked up, and they're in the middle of a chaotic battle, then they might end up not being able to follow your orders at all.

The Dutch force has been obliterated, suffering losses exceeding 70% (34% permanent) and we hold all of the objectives. We have been given a rating of 86% - a "Decisive Success".

We claimed 5 Recce units, 17 Tanks, 31 APCs, ~300 infantry, 1 SP AT, 3 mortars and 21 trucks.
In turn we lost 24 Tanks, 11 BMPs, and ~88 infantry.

Their paper armor on medium tanks is made up for by the fact that their tanks actually have the best guns in the game, for the most part. Especially the one with the 88(Chi-Ri? I get them mixed up because of their naming convention). They're also cheap as dirt and have faster cooldown timers than everyone else(You can actually start the match with a light tank if you want.)

I could probably make a few webm's from the second match, but it's late and I'm turning in, and this part stuck out for me. Final assault on Carl's forces holding center, supports by Concept's rocket artillery(Damn Carl everywhere I go you're fucking there I swear I never fight anyone else.). Was a pretty good fight with a lot of heavy tank combat and a surprising amount of expensive late-game purchases, but this was the nail in the coffin.

IDK, but know things like jinking in DCS will mostly get you killed, because you aren't really changing your vector, unless it's from a really long range of course.

But DCS has it's own stupidity with IR missiles, you can dodge any IR missile just by going idle rolling and flaring.

Liker all things in DCS, they perform nowhere near their real-life counterpart.

>>127547661
Huh, the R77s actually have a greater rmax than 120Cs in BMS

>>127547810
What R-77?

Because R-77 first version is equivalent to a aim-120A or something like that.

>>127547526
It's better than the R-27ER but you kind of need to treat it like a semi active missile since it goes pitbull so late.

>>127547810
In theory they should have less drag once they get up to supersonic speed with those grid fins.

>>127547341
>R-77s
Don't the 27 and 33 also get those?

>>127549797
Nope.

Can't remember if they ever upgraded them to mount them in real life, but in DCS, with the current aircraft only the MiG-29 can mount R-77s.

>>127549797
No the 27S & 33 couldn't fire active radar missiles since Sukoi thought they where a dumb fad, only the later upgrades starting from Su-27M/Su-35 could fire R-77s.

How are russian active missiles cooling their radar?

>>127550213
Radar coolant I imagine, you can only really get away with using vodka on crappy little targeting radars like the sapphire.

>>127550159
I mean it would only need a software upgrade, but ED makes it out too seem like some you needs some insane hardware upgrades.

Also mig-29S was never even built in any sufficient numbers, neither was the r77.

What does Russia use for an active radar homing missile?

Some R-27 variant?

>>127550423
>I mean it would only need a software upgrade
What software upgrade? The only time the Su-27 got R-77 capability irl was when it got a whole new radar and avionics suite.
>Also mig-29S was never even built in any sufficient numbers, neither was the r77.
I know, not sure what this is relavent to though. Though I'm all really for tied to come and claim it's in service :^)

>>127550731
They don't unless there's been some super secrit R-27 upgrade.

They are making a new missile called RVV something something, that's basically an R77 but Russian made and i guess improved.

>>127550731
they don't. their fighters are literally 20 years behind the rest of the world because of it

the issue is that the r77 was designed in ukraine and production was supposed to start right as the ussr collapsed. so they never acquired any stocks and were limited in their modernization efforts, but they're making a new version now

Would anyone here be interested in playing Squad Leader over VASSAL?

I'll be posting a basic play through of a scenario, even when not interested I hope it will be a sort of fun read nonetheless.

Hey SH5fag, does fire do damage in Steel Wolves? Are the deck gun and the AA guns useful, and in which way can I upgrade them? How's damage control (I assume it's shit since you can only control NCOs)? Also which version of SH5 do I need for it to work and are there any risks in pirating it such as its DRM fucking shit up?

These are the forces of the German player for this scenario, a platoon on patrol.

5 squads (4-6-7 are the squads, first number is firepower, second number is range, third number is morale, all squads have 4 movement points, different terrain costs different amount of movement points)

2 leaders (8-1 and 9-2. First number is their morale, second number is their leadership modifier expressed as a negative, the lower the better. The 9-2 is the better leader, has a higher morale and a leadership modifier)

The platoon is equipped with 4 MG's (first number is firepower, second number is range, B12 refers to the gun "breaks/jams/runs out of ammo" on a roll of 12 when firing)

>>127553018
The Russian forces, 17 squads, 4 MG's and 2 leaders.

The Russians ave a considerably larger force. However, their leaders are less trained than the German ones in this scenario. The Russians are also primarily equipped with LMG's, whereas the Germans have a HMG to work with.

The Russian goal is to move at least 5 squads from the north edge of the map, to a certain section of the south edge of the map in 5 or less turns.

The German goal is to stop this.

fire do damage, deck guns are usefull but it will take time to sink stuf with it, AP below waterline is best.
damage control is kinda wonky, but you assign what to fix in the DC menu, and that gets priority.

aa and deck guns can be upgraded and removed with "renown points" which you get form doing patrols and sinking shit. same as sh3.

Russians start.

Leaders give a bonus to squad movement of +2 if they stay with the squad for their entire movement.

The 2 leaders take a full stack of infantry each (3 squads is the max allowed in 1 hex), grab the majority of the MG's and make a run for a small forest in the hopes of setting up a firebase before the German patrol can set up.

The remaining Russian forces elect to stay further east, far out of sight and range of the Germans. After heading south they will swing west in under cover of some woods towards their objective.

>>127554785
Sadly no. This is merely a UI, it isn't really a program as such, meaning that nothing is enforcing rules or doing the bookkeeping for you, it is up to the players to do all that. It is basically the boardgame in a virtual setting.

That being said, the rules are very (imo anyway) intuitive, and there are many "beginner" scenarios that require only a small subset of rules to be played.

The scenario I am posting here for instance only requires the rules for infantry movement/combat, MG usage and Leaders.

One more question: if you happen to meet juicy targets or enemy uboats where they shouldn't be and send a radio report about them, does the the AI send appropriate forces to deal with them? For example in SH3 if you met an enemy sub in german waters and contacted the BdU they'd usually send a few ASW trawlers or patrol boats to dispose of it. If you met big ships sometimes the Luftwaffe would show up and (try to) bomb the shit out of them. Also does the AI use torpedoes?

>>127555308
After the movement Germans are allowed to fire defensively. Nothing is in range or sight though. Russians then get their Advance fire phase, an opportunity to fire after movement at reduced firepower. However, here again, nothing is in range or sight. The Russians then get their advance phase in which all their units are allowed to move up 1 square, regardless of their previous movement or firing.

To clarify the turns, 1 turn is split in a Russian and a German half, whoever's half it is is the attacker for that half. The halves each have the following phases:

>1) Rally phase, broken (fleeing) units of both the attacking and defending player attempt to rally via a leader (i.e. a leader attempts to get his units back on the field to face enemy fire)
2) Preparation fire phase, attacker gets to fire his units
3) Movement phase, attacker gets to move any units he hasn't fired in the pre fire phase
4) Defensive fire phase, the defender gets to fire his units.
5) Advance Fire phase, attacker can fire any units that haven't fired yet, this includes units that have moved, however these have their firepower reduced.
>6) Route phase, any unit from both defending and attacking player that has broken under fire must flee to appropriate hexes (i.e. their morale wasn't high enough to hold their position under fire and they flee)
7) Advance phase, attacker is allowed to advance all his units 1 hex, this is the only phase in which you can enter an enemy occupied hex.
>8) Close combat phase, opposing units occupying the same hex engage in close combat.
(Green text are phases in which BOTH defender and attacker have activities)

After this completes the attacking player becomes the defending player and vice versa. After both player have been both attacker and defender the turn is completed and the whole thing repeats itself in the next turn.

This scenario has 5 turns, each turn will go through phase 1 to 8 twice, so this scenario has 40 phases.

As there was no closecombat in the Russian half it is now the German half of turn 1.

Nothing to rally. So no need for a rally phase
Nothing to fire on. So no need for a preparation fire phase.
Germans go straight into their movement.

The HMG is attempting a set up in the wooden building, being a heavy bulky weapon it is impeding the movement, so set up will be delayed to the advance phase.

The southern fireteam splits up, 1 squad takes an LMG and makes a dash over the road in an attempt to set itself up in the Russian objective. In doing so he exposed himself to the Russian MG set up in the woods, the defensive fire phase will determine if he gets gunned down or actually makes it to his destination.

The 9-2 leader takes his squad and the MMG and decides to take the safer, more laborious route, through the woods.

Good to hear.

Hopefully last questions - how dynamic is the campaign, and how much of the map is modeled? Could I hypothetically sail from Wilhelmshaven/Kiel to Japan and meet at least somewhat accurate enemy forces? And do I have to manually plot the course through the fucking Kiel channel (thank god there was no need to do that in GWX)?

ayy, what kind of range do you think WW2 era subs have?

Considering The English Channel, Suez canal, Straight of Gibraltar and Panama canal are all a nono for subs, you are left with the south African, south American or the Jules Verne route.

>>127562612
Type IXs and italian subs pulled that a few times, IIRC there was at least one milk cow stationed next to South Africa for some time.

The Russian MG nest in the forest opens up on the German squad running across the street.

It is 10 hexes away, the LMG's firepower is halved for extended range fire. The squads can't use their inherent small arms fire as the target is over double their range (range of 4, target 10 hexes away).

A total of 6 firepower. A 7 is rolled with 2 dice, however this is modified by the leader directing the fire, -1. It is further modified for firing at targets moving in the open, completely exposed, -2.

The roll of 7 is modified by a total of -3 for a net result of 4.

A roll of 4 with 6 firepower results in the German squad receiving enough fire that it tests their morale. They need to roll equal to or lower than their morale with 2 dice. The Russian fire was accurate enough that this roll is modified by +2.

The German player rolls a 7, modified by +2 results in 9. The squad only has a morale of 7. They break and will have to flee to cover ASAP in the ensuing route phase.

Turn 2, Russian half.

The broken German unit is panicking so much that even the -2 modifier of the German leader is not enough to get it back in the fight, for now.

The Russians have nothing to fire on, nor do they really have the time to waste on firing. The MG nest moves up to a better firing position. The other Russian troops stat a mass exodus southwards. There is no way to avoid crossing open ground, so they choose to do it now, while only half of the German forces are set up in firing positions.

The German HMG Team tears into the mass Russian infantry movement. The HMG penetrates the the entire line of hexes, affecting all the Russian troops that decided to cross.
Some made it through unscathed, others broke down under the sustained fire from the HMG.

With no leader in sight of the Russian broken units they currently have no way to get back into the fight, instead they will cower in defensive positions, if they can make it to any.

Despite the devastating impact of the MG42 on the Russian infantry, some of the Russians will be setting up fireteams in the stretch of woods on the south edge of the map.

Russian advance fire phase. All the units that (attempted) to cross have no range to fire at the German positions, besides that broken units may not fire at all.

The Russian MG nest in the NorthWest doesn't fire either. It's firepower would be halved for firing after moving, then halved again for extended range fire (only MMG has the 10 range required). It would be left with a measly 3 firepower. The Russians don't want to risk the MGs malfunctioning to fire at such low numbers.

The route phase gives all broken units the opportunity to flee for cover. Conditions are:
Not through open ground hex in normal range of enemy.
Not decreasing distance to known enemy positions.
Fastest route to cover without breaking the above to conditions.
If a routed unit can't fulfill the above, it is eliminated. (Game technically it is assumed the squad just "scrams" and is not combat effective anymore)

In our case the Russian units could all rout.

German broken unit managed to be rallied.
Russian broken unit not.
All broken units without a leader can not be rallied (this means that the eastern most Russian broken unit is effectively out of the game, as it is a waste of precious time to send a leader over to rally a single unit).

During prep fire phase German HMG manned by a single squad fire on the Russian MG nest. The Russian units shrug it off.

Movement phase activities have nearly all German units move behind cover down the road further south east. Only the HMG manned by a single squad holds its position to continue covering the road.

Germans have no activities until the advance phase, in which they move up into, for now, unfavorable positions. The Russian MG nest might not have done a lot of direct damage, but it has impeded German maneuverability. The current German position has massive blind spots, this is directly caused by the inability to advance at full speed.

Russia sees the opportunity to completely exploit the fact that nearly all German forces are currently in a blind spot.
The amount of crossings is too many for a single HMG to handle, odds are that the awkward German position is going to cost them dearly.

The German HMG crew panics as he sees the massive amount of Russians cross. He fumbles and shoots wide, a single MG is simply not enough to stop this sort of movement at such a long range.

The German units in P1 with all their firepower see a chance to lay down heavy fire on the Russian MG nest in J4. The squad breaks, as does the leader, the sight of their leader breaking under fire causes the already broken squad to take off. A small success for the German side, barely significant at this point however.

The German player is going to have to launch a do or die attack on the Russians if he hopes to stop their victory.

Russian advance phase.

As tempting as it is to exit the units already on the board edge of the map, the victory condition is to exit 5 good order (unbroken) squads. Russia decides she is better served to not exit her units yet, instead keeping them on the board to cover the advance of the additional squads required for a victory.

Russia attempts to rally his leader in the MG nest, he loses it completely and goes into a blind rage. He will charge the nearest enemy unit he can see and is completely immune to breaking under fire, he wants blood and will kill or be killed.

The remaining Russian units, missing proper leadership, fail to rally.

The German player is desperate to get his units in position to stop the Russians from getting to their objective. The HMG in the west, being the heavy the unwieldy thing that it is, slows squad movement to a crawl, they take their chances and move north into open ground in a last ditch effort to zero in on the Russian advance.

German player fires back at the Russian position, despite German firepower being reduced for firing after moving, the Veteran leader directing the MG fire at units in the open nets a KIA result.

The southern most leader is slightly less successful and "only" manage to break the Russian unit on the board edge.

The heavy MG in the background manages to do no damage at all.

German Leaders are proving to be the edge the German player needed to get back into his saddle and have a chance at stopping the Russians.

Russian player fails to rally his units yet again with his 8-0 leader, whereas the German player manages to rally his unit with his far superior 9-2 leader.

The Russian player is pressed for time (only 2 turns left) and elects to not prep fire (the majority is not in position to fire anyway).

The berserk leader rushes across the open field like a madman in an attempt to take on the bulk of the German forces in close combat, on his own. Crazy Vatnik.

1 Russian squad which was already on the board edge manages to exit. The remainder attempts to close the gap to the edge while attempting to spread out over the little cover there is.

There is no way to exit the board without taking German fire, there is no way to get into a good firing position without taking German fire and there is no TIME to try any sort of flanking maneuver.

German defensive fire.

MG to the west fires, while not affecting crazy Vatnik, it manages to break 1 of the squads further down range.

The 2 German fire teams, with all their firepower and superior leaders concentrated on a single area manage to break the 3 Russian Squads which were heading for the board edge.

The Russian player resigns, he can not move enough unbroken units of the board within the time limit. He has 1 game turn of movement left but only 3 unbroken squads that can make it of the board in 1 turn (if they don't get shot).

The Russian 9-1 leader in the MG nest, in hindsight, would have been better served in helping with rallying the plethora of broken units.

The 8-0 Russian leader would have probably been better of giving squads extra movement factors by moving with them, rather than spending 3 game turns unsuccessfully attempting to rally units.

Superior use of leaders is arguably what won the German player this game.
