Minsk was a complete disaster for the germans, but of course you all know this. I have all east front titles and have looked through each campaign scenario. Minsk look like hell, the terrain through some of the German units have to retreat is just insane and then when you look at the force concentration and arty firepower of the russian armies... Well... I'm glad I wasn't there that's for sure.
Sometimes I load up a campaign of a selected title just to illustrate to friends how insanely vast operations were on the east front, how hellish conditions were and what the number ratios were. Most people don't have a clue, some are ignorant even.
Didn't the Wehrmacht lose about 800.000 men in the defensive operations around Minsk? Or perhaps that was the entire front during the time frame of Minsk, I'm not sure.
This campaign I will not touch until I've gained much experience... playing through the games in chronological order helps as it's rather easy going at first then at the end of the war nearly impossible.
At some point, I might even play allied. ;) If you are looking for a axis opponent, I'm your guy.
