64 5/1/2026 4:08:00 PM Summer 1941 Allied Message Thanks Michael, and I appreciate that observation about canceling the retreat at the optimal time.

As far as a rematch, I'm interested, but a little overextended. If we leave this open, I'll check back in a week or two.
63 5/1/2026 12:51:00 PM Summer 1941 Axis Message yeah, that's the way I see it - even if you win the 50/50 shot, I'll be able to push beyond the city line next turn and ensure the encirclement. Thanks for the good game - sorry it was so short! Let me know if you're up for a rematch, anytime.

I would have blocked the advance at Smolensk by retreating to Vyazma and Roslav (instead of Mozhaisk/Bryansk), and then played your reinforcements immediately on round 2.
62 5/1/2026 10:14:00 AM Summer 1941 Allied Message I think we can call that GG.

Even if I get back to Vladamir from Gorki, I can't block the full encirclement next turn.
