Soviet Disaster, WWII:Barbarossa to Berlin


Ok, for the last weeks, we have been playing our first game of WWII: Barbarossa to Berlin.
We have done some mistakes at the beginning, mainly concerning Stalin orders and Combat Cards but not too critical.
Germans (Molina)  sent all their forces to crush the Russians before winter arrives. Russians (myself) did not understand quite well the advance rules and were outflanked by the mobile panzer formations. I think that the game does not deserve a full AAR unless anybody wants to laugh on russian mistakes.
At the end of turn Three (just before winter) Russian played a 5-point card for replacements, running out of cards for the last action. German succeeded to envelop Moscow (with Stalin inside) and with just 1-ops to play I couldn`t save the Red Army and i surrendered.
Here is the final situation of the overwhelming Nazi victory:

We are going to see if Russian has learned anything from this hard lesson and we will begin again with same sides.
