T014 South-East region

1 Panzer Armee managed to park itself astride the rails into the city from the west, and further out 17 Armee attempts further disruptions. Not critical but there are not many suitable towns very close, and trucks will have to work a little bit.

Supplies from Astrakhan to ...

<t> 2-3 at axis corps level or 4-6 at soviet army is what I usually use for helping units dig in, roughly one per 2 divisions. I don't usually bother with more at Front level but sometimes a couple at Axis army too. Everything else waiting at high command which will sometimes use them for free to ...

<t> I'm glad to hear thats not going to completely cripple him then if he will get some local supplies, and a bit of caspian flow. Be a shame to be starved out purely due to design oversight as for sure I originally expected to be getting Allied LL coming from Baku area. But certainly doesn't sound ...

<r> I usually have soft factor set to supplies and I assumed it is here, but I'll have to double check next turn that Atatack hasnt changed it in his turn which I believe then changes it for both players. But certainly that fits the picture last time I specifically checked the Intel on soviet ...

Grozny is solidified but not yet connected to rail. Once it is these extra train points will certainly help supplies, although plenty is already getting through anyway. The Soviets to the north continue to apply pressure but its possible ...

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>T103 Stalingrad<e>[/b]</e></B><br/>
<br/>
Some solid breakthroughs by 1 Panzer armee, although disappointingly 17 Armee's attempt to cross the river and cut one of the rail lines into Stalingrad is held up. Certainly the flow will be interrupted directly to the city though and I ...

<br/>
Pressure points applied again and again along the Central sectors of the line, but each time reserves manage to plug the gaps, more or less... But its certainly getting tougher and at some point it will break I'm sure. We ...

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>T102 Stalingrad<e>[/b]</e></B><br/>

In other parts of the front, now we actually brought pioneers we start to at least drop fortification levels with the assaults here. 1 Panzer is now our third Assault HQ and we will see if we can cause some upsets here. Virtually zero ...

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>T102 Groznygrad - cleanup on aisle south<e>[/b]</e></B><br/>
<br/>
The response, thankfully, leaves us in an Ok position, the rail is repaired and a new depot in place. Took a few battles to chase the 2 raiders around the rear but ultimately they routed into oblivion. Needless to ...

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>T102 Caucasus Soviet raid<e>[/b]</e></B><br/>
<br/>
Bit of a disappointment as we find two marauding Tank Corp - actually virtually no actual tanks, in reality a motor rifle brigade at a stretch, sneak through and cause havoc in the rear scaring a few corps HQ to relocate ...

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>T101 Stalingrad<e>[/b]</e></B><br/>
<br/>
17 Armee makes progress clearing out the river bend, but the assaults on the main line fail basically because we didn't check if we had pioneers. Schoolboy error. Must do better. But again, mostly we aim to set a bushfire here to put ...

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>T01 Caucausus<e>[/b]</e></B><br/>
<br/>
More skirmishing on the northern flank. Certainly a solid force building up here that we need to be respectful of. At a rough count we are facing about 26 corps in the sector so maybe at least 1.3million if we guess 20k each, but probably ...

<t> I know the theory and was planning to do it at Rostov but then the offensive started earlier when we found no resistance and was kinda nervous to even try to hold anything back once everything was moving. It would certainly make sense if had a pause in the action before an offensive but so far I ...

<t> Sorry to hear that mate, you are right it can get a bit uncomfortably heated sometimes but didn't realise some PMs flying about too. It is a game but some where folks do invest significant time I feel people can get hot. You are very much appreciated for endless help and advise and hope to read ...

<t> Yes and certainly running well below average losses last few turns. We've put a lot of effort into reducing the strain on the truck fleet all through the campaign. A lot of AGN first line units are static, but the 2nd line reserves regiments are fully mobile to be able to respond. Also of note ...

Can you post your supply map with depot priorities?

Depot overview from T101, I've highlighted where the priority 4 and 3 depots are, everything else mostly 2 with some 1 & 0 in places but thats rare. Too lazy ...

Having noticed that the fighting in the Caucasus has certainly thinned out the lines at Stalingrad we roll the dice with a small offensive here of ourselves. Will be wildly optimistic to take the city but certainly we can start a ...

<br/>
A dangerous looking buildup of Guard rocket divisions and Mech corps breaks the line but once again we are able to deploy the local fire brigade to plug the line. We had to send a couple of divisions to Italy though so things are ...

<br/>
A few more successful Soviet counterattacks but again ground retaken and we cross the river and cut the north-south railline. Again not critical but all good disruption to Soviet supplies flowing freely. Not yet in a position to take Grozny ...

<t> Also I feel like there would be better incentive in the south if the VP levels were tweaked a little. While of course the rationale for setting the bonuses points on historical capture dates is a natural place to start then clearly at least in the south clearly many of them are very much based ...
