1v1 Tony Harton Pro Skater v Fortune

In this installment you get to see me fumble about like an idiot for a while as my opponent wrong-foots me with every OKW ploy in existence!

From the Kubel being able to lock down a side relatively cheaply (in terms of resource/pop cop cost), a fast Luch which caused me severe grey hairs (that vet 5, owch), a Panther which rendered going Medium tanks obsolete given the speed of repair on OKW, to the frightful King Tiger which.. Surprizingly didn't cause any issue whatsoever, that armor nerf makes it a glorified Panzer IV with mammoth health, huge wipe potential, but still countered if you can manage to keep your AT Guns alive.
Speaking of keeping AT Guns alive. Ugh. That Stuka zu Fuss.

Preface

The 62nd Army (formerly the 7th reserve Army formed by STAVKA high command) had faced SS Großdeutscheland before during operation Fall Blau, but this would be different. Gone was the silent acceptance of insurmountable odds, gone were the politruks second-guessing and countermanding all orders, this time the Army had what it needed more than political puritanism: Weapons, armor, food.
Lend-lease weapons were sometimes scoffed at, but there was little doubt that the American-made halftracks, if nothing else, were of indispensable value in the deep snows of December when all but the sturdiest of vehicles had frozen over.
It would not be easy, however, but there was optimism in the air. Much was said about German engineering, of mechanical precision, of drilled elite forces; but what did they know about sacrifice? Of loss? Of defeat?

Not enough
Never enough
If the Red Army is to teach the Wehrmacht new things, it must begin on this day.
