Stalingrad Comments

[Marquo]

I just finished my first CG as the Axis, and my opponent and I have some observations, and would like to solicit others with the goal of tweaking the CG a bit.

1. There are perhaps not enough VPs in and around the pocket to cause the Axis player to want to stay in the pocket.

2. The Winterstorm Units in the southeast do not have an independent supply source. It is possible for the Russian to place a ring around the fixed Axis units and the 2 supply sources on the west side of the map, thereby isolating the Winterstorm units.

In my game the threat of having these units so isolated was so great, that I withdrew everything in a general southern movement which eventually completely overwhelmed the Soviet southern pincer. There are simply not enough VPs in Stalingrad to make the Axis player think much about giving it up.

Any other issues? Am I imagining things?
