<r> Here at Odessa I feel that I have survived the huge stacks of Russian units in each hex. They have been attacking out of these last two strongpoints but have been taking as many causualties as they have been causing. Another couple turns should see me able to take Odessa and rejoin my advancing ...

<r> A Russian counter attack near Vitebsk has me scrambling a little bit. I am coming off two turns of terrible combat results where the Russians are holding their ground all across my front lines. I was able to get good casualties on the Russian side but they would not give up any ground. My forces ...

<r> Here in the north I am being hampered as much by supply as by the enemy. I will be waiting here outside of Velikiye Luki for a couple turns until my units health comes back to a lovely green colour. I have a Russian infantry division surrounded at Loknya and will try to eliminate him this next ...

<t> As far as I know there is no AI only a PO (Programed Opponent). When you play the computer PO you are playing against the scenario designer's programming for the enemy. One reason for the thrashing could be that your units health could have gotten extremely low. I know that in the game I am ...

Good job on being bold with your carriers and getting two of his. How many carriers do you figure he has left afloat?

This is Mogilev a couple of turns later and I am across in force. I was able to get two Pioneer Battalions in place ...

<r> All the fronts have somewhat evened out from north to south<br/>

<r> Kiev is still a problem but am slowly getting a handle on it. Trying to force a crossing at Kaniv. I think that if I can get a Pz Division in the Russian backfield things will go a lot better for me.<br/>

<r> Lots going on in the centre. Crossing the river has been a real issue but I think I have a bit of a foothold now. Was across at Mogilev but was forced back onto the west side of the river. I think that my crossing at Shklov will hold up.<br/>
Orsha is German but just barely. Lots of punch and ...

<r> Well it would appear that I have taken Pskov. At least for the short term. The Russians are Training in some more troops for me to deal with. Going to try to make a line from Pskov east to Lake Il'men and wait for me RR repairs to get a little closer. I am a little spread out here in the north ...

<t> Yes I read your AAR, you will have to try another one as the Germans. I am just trying to make it past turn 20 in this one. Learning alot as I go. Have made several mistakes that will probably come back to bite me. Russians seem to come in waves. If you come through a wave alright then you have ...

<r> This is what I get when I order some artillery attacks.<br/>
How goes your game as the Russian side?<br/>

<r> A quick shot of the south. Not much has changed, Russians still throwing tank divisions at me non-stop. Supply a real issue here as well but am going to start pressing toward Kiev now.<br/>
With my mobile forces at very low supply and health I have chosen to not venture out too far with them at ...

<r> Had to hold up with my mobile forces everywhere but especially here in the centre. Their health is down to 40% and supply is low. It takes quite a bit of time for them to recover at this rate. They are all dug in and awaiting the RR repair teams to get a little closer. Infantry is still pushing ...

<r> The attack on Pskov is coming along. Russians are throwing everything at the attacks but I am able to hold on to the new ground I’ve taken. Been shelling them with lots of artillery which is a slow process but it is draining their strength somewhat.<br/>
There was a small Russian counterattack ...

<r> Kiev seems so close yet so far. will be trying the same tactic as with Pskov. Will be trying to cross the River south of Kiev then swing north and take the defenders one at a time. This is the plan anyhow.<br/>
First I have to deal with the never ending Russian Tank Divisions that Elmer keeps ...

<r> Minsk has just about come under German control. Only a few stragglers left to clear from the centre of town.<br/>
Will be starting a slow march on toward Orsha next. It is pretty much a straight shot to Orsha down the central Rail line and roads. This will mean a lot of repairs will be needed ...

<r> Going to slow down across all fronts as supply is down to 40% or so with my mobile forces even lower on average. I wish there was a way to get the RR repairs happening a little quicker. I have them in three groups of 4 but this only moves the repairs 10km per turn and only on one line.<br ...

Thanks Larry for the advice. I held up for one turn, but now will continue with the advance. Will have to check to see which units are at 50% supply

<r> As for my infantry losses, I am running about even with losses equaling replacements.<br/>
