Certainly. Stalin had no interest whatsoever in helping Churchill, simply for
the sake of helping. This doesn't change the fact that war between Germany and
the USSR at some point was higly likely, something I'm sure Churchill was aware
of.
Everybody (the Allies, the Germans and the Russians themselves) thought that RU was finished 3 weeks into B. GE considered this likely before they set out....

... I would never try that as the CW, nor suggest it as Russia. I don't have THAT much confidence the suggestion. It would be fun to play the Axis vs somebody...
Then again, both Guderian and Manstein are accused of twisting the truth a bit with regards to what kind of mistakes can be blamed on Hitler, putting...
... If 3d10 works for this purpose, then there is no need, thank you very much. ... At least pointless for you to be in the discussion, since you keep bringing...
It seems that the conversation/exchange of views has taken a turn for the worse. Needlessly imo. Since I didn't imply cheating, just perhaps getting away with...
Herbert, your points are spot on and I agree (and have repeatedly) with all of them. The mistake you're making is the same one I originally made - you believe...

Awww...c'mon guys...I was looking forward to game reports!!!;-) C ... your initial assertion (ie that Super-Balbo has a counter strategy that does not require...
Too Bad... it looks like our game is not going to happen. For the record, Ecka, I did clearly state in my email to you: please post the times that you are...
... No, never said that. I feel if the Russian has got the guts to defend forward and try to hold the garrison ratio than good luck to them for trying. It...
... This same argument has come up before. That time, iirc, the auther (don't quite remember who) didn't really mean that Stalin should be able to DOW in 1940,...
I caught this discussion a bit on the tail side and have been going through the archive looking for a definition of Super Balbo. Can somebody just redefine it...
Super-Balbo is a term that was first created on the MWiF forums that is used to describe an all out attack on Russia in 1941, preferrably by all 3 axis powers....
Fearfull strategy : I don't know how to counter that, maybe a russian depth defense, no stuffing at the border. The allies can send all the BPs they can to...
... Certainly they may, but by controlling Turkey and the Caucasus, the Germans can use rail to relocate between fronts, while the British need to use...
The railroad in Turkey is long and curves a lot in the south of the country. The british in 1941 can muster a sizeable force and try to cut it from different...
I'd actually forgotten about railing through Istanbul. Except for sending the 4 corps required to align Spain to Syria, I've never started pushing southwards...
I think you refer to playing with Limited Access across Straits in a later post. This severely restricts what you can get into and through Turkey. The times...
What I'd prefer to see and believe is more relevant is if the "Super Balbo" strategy can be implemented under RAW. If so, then a strategy has indeed been...
I think it can, if not quite as powerful as you can get if the USSR isn't allowed to stuff. In 1940, the Germans can ensure the Italians have 5 bp/turn by...
Fly in the ointment to the below: the Italians do have to have some way to get their aircraft around the German border zone since they cannot fly through it....
