Life has a habit of getting in the way of things, but the boardgame must go on!
I don't think I've ever played a game with such a fluid front line.
The Poles have continued their attack against the West Front (northern sector).
In retrospect I should have withdrawn.
Having learned my lesson (maybe),
both West Front and South West Front have pulled back.
The Poles move up, attacking the extreme south of the West Front.
The South West Front pulls back.
But the West Front has actually attacked on the extreme northern end of the line.
More surprisingly this was actually successful, although with casualties.
The Poles move up cautiously against the South West Front.
But in the north they launch a bloody counterattack
which for once doesn't see vast numbers of Soviet units destroyed.
The game plays slowly, not because the rules are complex or that there are a lot of counters, but because deciding when and where to attack takes a lot of consideration. In the top left hand corner of some of the above images can be seen a pile of counters that Richard has resorted to using to mark units' start and end points to aid in planning for the launching of attacks.
