^You got it? I'm thinking Tsushima will have a quite massive footprint on my drive.

Meanwhile, speaking of desperate counterattacks: if I understand the number-claims correctly, around more-than 30K Sov... er, Russian troops are on the way to Kharkiv -- out of a total of 50K on the entire frontline.

If I heard that right, this raises a few interesting questions.  :Nerd: Discussion?

I would argue you very much can have an encirclement with only one pincer as long as the other side is successfully keeping the enemy's attention and attrition; that's basic fieldwork going back at least as far as spearwalls being flanked. I assume most or all of us have done that ourselves in various game systems! Had the southern jaw chewed through the throat, that would have been an encirclement (though not a double envelopment admittedly). But then the reserves arrived.

Be that as it may, I specifically said, "the Soviet trenches and arty definitely helped win". They slowed down the pincers on each side (one of them much moreso than the other) until Soviet reinforcements arrived to kick ass and save the day. And even then, it was still a technical victory for the Nazis. Just not a useful one. Without the Soviet defenses, the reserves would have arrived way too late. Without the reserves, the defenses would have ultimately crumpled.

Quote from: Grim.Reaper on Today at 04:47:37 AMSaw someone mention release price will be $44.99, no idea if any release discount.  If true, that is probably too high for me as not sure I have ever played the series for long.

You're totally going to break down and get this. Don't even try to resist.

Not on release, maybe a future sale.

Quote from: Jarhead0331 on Yesterday at 01:59:20 PMI'm not sure how I feel about the new master modes in 3.23...

They seem helpful for casual novice players like me.  I haven't crashed yet, unlike this time last year when I played for a week or two and crashed a lot.

Flying in NAV mode with no weapons or shields gives me the heebie jeebies.  :faint:
