I wanted to call out two exceptional players who have recently given me a whoopin'.
The venerable Englishman Herr Nash has broken my unbeaten streak (12 wins) for the East Front scenario "Tank Graveyard at Minsk" (my all-time favorite scenario). He handed me my first loss outside of Minsk with very prudent, skillfull play as Reds. It was over by turn four, the Russians ferociously striking me with two powerful Schwerpunkte.
And in my quest to play the best, the elite, I played for the first time against Ragnar in Terror at Borisov. He promptly executed a brilliant infantry ambush which sent me reeling and from which I never recovered. We are preparing to play a biggy, 'the Road to Oboyan', which will test our skills in a bigger environment. Pray for me.
This loss also marked my first defeat since April 2009. Congratulations kamerad (he's German).
