<r> Turn 28:<br/>
<br/>
The Soviets launched many attacks this turn. The most important were two attacks through my lines that cut the rail lines for both the north and the southern forces. This had a large and negative effect on the supply situation for both fronts.<br/>
<br/>
It was important ...

<r> Captured Kharkov, Stalino, Riazan, looking to complete intermediate objectives before the rainy season.<br/>

I meant that in the case you right click on a unit and it retreats before combat until such a point that it evaporates. So for instance tank brigades will retreat before combat until evaporating when confronted by infantry divisions. The tanks don't force a round of combat, they ...

<t> Here are a couple of self imposed rules I am using and a suggestion for future development of this scenario:<br/>
<br/>
1. I either move, or dig in. I don't move and then dig in. If I dig in, I just do it once, I don't go to fortified or entrenched.<br/>
<br/>
2. I use my divisions as one ...

<r> Turn 22: In the far north a little development. I basically wrote off Finland and did not move anything. The defenders at Murmansk came to launch an attack. I consolidated the German divisions in northern Finland and moved in behind them. Now I have eliminated all the Soviet divisions and am ...

Your assessment of the supply is accurate. As of turn 20 I haven't advanced further, waiting on the rail heads to catch up.

<r> Turn 17:<br/>
<br/>
Losses ~4500 squads.<br/>
<br/>
It seems the computer is about finished. After Surrounding and bypassing the first wave of Russians at Smolensk, tank groups 3 and 4 have found no major resistance and have surrounded Tula. Tank group 2 met some light resistance, but it was ...

<r> This turn I advanced on 2 out of 3 routes of attack. There wasn't any assaults. Here is my plans for the attack in the southern area. The blue arrows is the main route, the green arrows are sub missions to be carried out if there are extra units.<br/>
<br/>
The concept is to probe the defenses ...

<r> Turn 11:<br/>
<br/>
I've driven around the first wave of Russian reinforcements in the north and 3 routes are being scouted out for an advance on to Tula. There are strong Russian forces opposite my own. My plan is to dig in and absorb their attacks until they tire out. I have already cut ...

<r> Turn 9, not much to say. Losses at the end of my turn are ~3000 rifle squads. Less than I have produced actually.<br/>

Yeah, I was taking notes, Moscow, Stalingrad, the Caucasus mountains, you got stopped at a couple of tough places. I'm betting on just going round ...

<r> The spearhead of tank groups 3 and 4 suffered a powerful counterattack by soviet tanks and was forced to retreat in disarray. To remedy the situation I launched a powerful counterattack south of the soviet tanks and am now pushing for some bridges over the Dnepr after routing some soviet ...

<r> Here is turn 7 in the south. I've easily broken past the Stalin line and my tank divisions are on the march to the Dnepr River. My plan is to cross around Dnepropetrovsk. After the river there is a passage of open ground with only a few small streams as obstacles running from the area between ...

<r> Tank group 2-4 are making their approach march on the Dnepr River. A significant force of red units await them there. The plan is pretty simple. Tank group 3&4 are on the northern end, and tank group 2 is on the southern end. Together they will converge on Tula, passing through the area in ...

<r> Turn 5: The view in the south as well as an inset of the rest of the action.<br/>
<br/>
Losses in rifle squads are at 1773. 1303 were from the first turn, so an average of 100 per turn since then. <br/>
<br/>
As I move, the forward units wind around any resistance. Secondary units secure the ...

<r> This is the south, end of turn 4.<br/>
<br/>
The tanks are snaking through the lines, clearing a way ahead.<br/>

<r> The end of my second turn.<br/>
<br/>
Here you can see the basic outline of my plans. Infantry have corralled opposing mechanized corps into pockets north and south of my penetration. Tank units are scouting out several different rail lines while a large reserve of tank <br/>
divisions is ...

<r> This picture is after both sides' first moves. <br/>
<br/>
I will make some remarks concerning tactics. <br/>
<br/>
The strategic aim is to make advances. Advances must be made along existing rail lines for logistical reasons. Tactical moves can be made anywhere, but ultimately rail lines ...

<r> The plan is to strike east along 3 axes. The northern strike will contain Tank group 3 and 4. Their mission will be to penetrate opposition between the border and Saransk, 1410 km distant. The next leg of their journey takes them north west to Lake Lagoda, another ~600km. <br/>
