2194 Days of War Official Pbem

[Darius871]

All right, game on:

- Stalingrad captured! In a desperate gamble encompassing thousands of partisans, nearby garrison troops, bombers from Moscow, tanks from Gorkiy, and a brilliant amphibious operation from the Caspian Sea, the Red Army annihilated a full 5 divisions of crack Panzergrenadiers and a further three divisions of German infantry, and innumerable Soviet divisions reoccupied what was left of Stalin's namesake city, much to his delight. Unfortunately we do not expect to hold the city in light of the numerous fascist armored divisions holed up in quality siege fortresses west of it, but we'll see.

- Four Wehrmacht infantry divisions south of Leningrad cut to ribbons by a Soviet battleship.

- Two stray Panzer IV divisions northwest of Moscow were destroyed by Russian bombers.

HENRIK COME ON HURRY UP AND PLAY!

A 29 minute bump, this has to be a record.

In this 2194 thread starting up at Civfan, I offered a solution to this AA Battery phenomenon, which I have seen at least once in every 2194 PBEM attempt. Whatever the glitch is, we agreed to simply edit the rules file so that the AA batteries have a movement of 1. This way we can be certain that Ctrl-n's will work.

Now obviously the units had 0 movement for a reason; such as preventing unbeatable stacks. That is why it would become an official house rule that no one, under any circumstances, move the AA Batteries. It would just be considered a remedy to a glitch; not a scenario change. Furthermore, any taking advantage of this change for gameplay would be easily detected and considered cheating.

Klesh condoned it there, and I wonder if you guys would allow it here as the house rule would make the gameplay exactly the same. At least then Russia could have half a chance, so I would suspect that at least ANZAC and Case wouldn't object.

Yeah, it's fine by me

Stalingrad Returns to Deutsch Hands

Stalingrad.- Despite the retreat from Stalingrad undertaken by the Wermacht, the preparations for a renewed offensive had been under preparation outside Kiev with the arrival of new tank prototypes for our SS Panzer Divisions. The Soviet offensive has thus been met by an even more powerful offensive with these newly upgraded SS Panzer Divisions. With a combined arms attack of Stukas, Bf109s, Panzer, SS Panzer and Panzergrenadier divisions, Stalingrad has returned to the hands of the Reich, showing once again the tactical inferiority of the Bolshevik menace. Meanwhile, hundreds of these new prototypes roll off the production lines in the industrial heartland of our beloved Reich.

For his brilliant offensive, General von Paulus has been ascended to the rank of Feldmarschal in Berlin last week, by the Fuhrer himself.

Well, duh.

Japanese Fleet Smashed by USAAC 'Heavies'

The remnants of the Japanese Combined Fleet have been totally destroyed by USAAC 'Flying Fortress' bombers. In a devestating attack, two wings of the deadly aircraft sunk a Japanese battlieship and a carrier of Hawaii. Naval inteligence believes that all of the carriers aviators went down with the ship.

White House insiders have reported that upon hearing the news of this great victory President Roosevelt lept from his chair, grabed his beloved wife Eleanor around the waist and danced a happy jig with her.
