Mius Historical Campaign

[Philippe]

Thanks for the kind words. Due to some unusually hellish circumstances in my life right now I can't really think about taking on another game for a few months, and may even have to put my current ones on hold for a while.

The tactics you described are pretty much what I'd been using, and for the first dozen turns or so (without delayed disruption) I managed to rotate fresh troops into the firing line and pull back the damaged ones. There were penetrations but they were containable, and in the early turns it seemed like I was spending more time building second and third trench lines behind the bunkers to shore up the inevitable fall-back. But after about ten turns the progressive damage started to mount up and the dents in my line started linking up with each other. Then things began crumbling in rapid order, with the local counter-attacks becoming fewer and more feeble. Twenty-three turns into the game I have big gaps in my line that I can no longer patch, and my counterattacks are going nowhere. What I'm seeing looks worse than what happen in Byelorussia in the summer of '44.
