Exit Objectives, Are they worth It?

Yes exiting early is a mistake. What needs to be incorporated in to the design is that if side A exits (x) amount of force then side B does not receive (x) amount of reinforcements. This is especially true in S41. Where the Germans can exit the map and head down the Moscow road only to find that Ivan returns down the same road with a wad of extra troops. Logic would dictate that those extra Russians would be holding the Germans that left the map. So removing reinforcements to counter units exiting would make exiting early worthwhile. Just my 2 cents. :)

Well that is a two-edged sword-you can argue it both ways. In the case of Smolensk if it's going really bad for the Soviets, wouldn't STAVKA release more reinforcements? Logic doesn't necessary dictate the Soviet troops are being used to hold the Germans. Couldn't they be driving into the flanks to pinch off the Germans and isolate those advanced troops? It makes more sense to me to NOT allow exit points for Victory, if you can't trace a line of supply to the exit hex. Afterall, those troops might be cut off and wither on the vine.:chin:
