1st Ukraine Front - Insiders look at a Play Test

[Strela]

@Ricky B- I would prefer to leave it in one post as that has been the way the other AAR's have been done. I understand your issue - particularly as we near the end of a 'page'. The good news is that we have just started page 3 ;)

@The SNAFU - its two human - me vs me in this case :cheeky: It has been played a number of times by my playtest team and we have collaborated on some of the most recent changes, but for the AAR I am playing both sides. I actually turn on the AI for the opposite side so that FOW is on while I do a turn. It's not hard to totally forget what the other side is up to and only focus on the active side.

I also wanted to do the AAR as a little bit of 'marketing' for the Korsun_ALT scenarios as they have changed so dramatically to stock - I also wanted to dispel some of the comments by players that the Russians can't breakthrough - which I think is fueled by not realising that the Russians took a number of days to achieve this. Players will see it will happen, just slightly longer than they expected.

Finally, I want to remind readers this playtest is of a V3 scenario, only V2 is out on VM's site - but they are very playable as is - V3 will just be closer to the historical timeline.
