Eurofront 2

Auggie and David plotting the face of Europe. Eurofront 2 is quite fun and the rules are interesting. The depiction of strategic decisions and logistical constraints are well covered by the system. The pacing of the game is quite accurate for the first few turns i.e. 1939 to early 1940. The game that we are playing has been quite close to the actual historical script.

Poland has been invaded and the decision to invade Norway has been made by Auggie. Though Auggie was a tad slow in taking Poland. The French got a turn more to beef up their troops. 50 more hours till the end of the game, we shall see!!!!

From Don to Dnepr

Just finished reading an excellent account of the third and fourth battles of Kharkov. Glantz provides a simple and well paced account of these two battles.

A game of A Victory Lost against David "Manstein" was just completed last weekend. The Russians aka myself failed to take Kharkov even, negating the simple need for the the German Backhand Blow. The German held the river lines well as the Soviets failed repeatedly to push them backwards and form bridgeheads.


Here's a map of the area.

Now on towards reading the Battle for Leningrad and maybe try out Barbarossa: Army Group North solitaire.
