I like the look to this game.

I like the look to this game.

  It does have some visual charm.

  But, the initial LVII Panzer Korps Attack seems to have rolled incredibly badly.  The only bright spot is out east where the Romanians are about to swamp the 91st Rifle Division and all its attached 51st army gear:

  The Russians fall back and start digging in:

Cool Meng.  Deny everything when GJK sees your counters.

Now THAT was a LOL moment!  :)

But my GOD man, those corners!  The sight of them alone makes me just want to fondle my corner rounding tool....

LOL! Don't do it Meng! Let yer counters roam free in their natural state..... well maybe a little trim wouldn't hurt... but don't round them! That's cruel.  :'(

Bombing blows a hole in the Russian line at the star and disrupts things to the east:

For a long time I hardly played any boardgames at all.  There's about a 20-year gap in my boardgaming.  When I started playing them again, they had a very different feel especially to the counters:  they punched out cleanly and easily and 99.999999% coherent and complete.  Now this Wintergewitter -- just like games used to be!  Big fluffy corners and long ragged strips of layers of paper!  It was a fantastic trip down memory lane!
