[WarInEur] narrative on demo game

[Don Lazov]

As Steve put it, right he is.

Most of my Panzers and Panzer Grenadiers are at 60 to 70% effective. The 
3-8 are like 2.5  and 2.3. Hence my reluctance to attack everywhere in 
Poland when it was over.

Redeploying is for "later" and to setup strategically where I want my 
units to be at next year (1940). Marching the 6-5's across Germany would 
be fatal, same with the 8-8's.

So I railed them or put them in ports. Also, as Steve put it 
"husbanding" my forces for the next blow.

Great fun for those that like a refreshing campaign that acts like a 
simulation of the war. Great fun for those that want the same old thing 
in a different colored package. To each his own. (can you guess which 
camp I sit in? yes I am an attrition lover).
