P39 Question for Arkan and Akilpio

[Steel God]

Gents - I noticed you just posted a game result for the 158 Turn P39 CG - the version with no German Reserves due to a French attack in the Saar and complete Polish Mobilization at start - and your notes say the Poles had zero chance.  I have an additional question for you, when you started this game were the German at start forces at 80% strength of 100% strength?  I realize that may sound like an odd question but the game was released with the starting forces below strength and then changed to full strength with the first patch a few days later, so if you started your game within the first day or two of the game being for sale you may have started at 80% for the Germans.

I ask for research purposes - I seriously want to see this CG be a viable one and it's clear from early reports (including my own on going game) that the victory conditions are entirely too easy for the Germans to achieve (similar to the F40 CG).  

Thanks for your thoughts.

I decided to concede the game after only 25 turns of play. My opponent Arkan is a very skilled player and he played very aggressively. I was occasionally able to cause some heavy losses to his forward units, but the overwhelming superiority of the German forces in mobility and fire power made it a very desperate battle from the very beginning. I guess this is historically correct but felt it wasn´t much fun to play the Poles. I tried to retreat as fast as possible to be able to create a coherent front later on but that proved to be impossible. I decided to give up when I noticed that almost the whole southern front would be cut off within a couple of turns. We ended the game in such an early phase that I really can´t say much about the victory conditions, but I guess a more skilled player might have a some chances with the Poles. If this is played as pbem the more experienced player should take the Polish side.
