He says he wants to keep going so we are continuing at a slow pace.....about 1-2 turns a week at most the last couple months. All thats happening is the Germans are reducing the soviet salient that was jutting into german lines to the NW of Moscow and have pushed/gained a chunk of ground in the 2 co...

On January 24, 1943 in this alternate history Germany forces storm Moscow and Kremlin. The Russian defenders left in the capitol weren't particularly strong after a couple week siege and it looks like he decided not to try and hold out in a long siege as each hex only had 2 divisions and a fortress ...

Something like that, except Axis only own 1 hex along the north side of moscow....waiting for next turn now to see if he can open it again or not and to see if he doesnt can the German infantry forces make an attempt to take one of the 3 hexes this next turn. The initial turn he was able to push a h...

News Flash.......... As a 1943 New Years gift to the Fuhrer the hard fighting forces of Army Center have completely encircled Moscow Initial reports indicate heavy fight all around the outskirts of the north side of Moscow and Soviet news media has reported a glorious counterattack by heroic forces ...

1st Week of December key hex control around moscow--no units as we are on these turns now.

Has been a month of dogged fighting in an arc from SW to SE of Moscow that resulted in alot of ground gained by German forces over november...the Soviets are now defending the very outskirts of the city.

Just for ease of comparison OOB/losses as of 1st week of December 1942 One thing of note is the Germans are finally running out of manpower....building up all the LW field divisions plus some other units that arrived empty has gradually drained down the German manpower pool the last month or so....s...

OOB and Losses as of November 1942

Situation 1st week of November 1942- Mud has brought actions to close across most the front for both sides aside from limited ops where its light mud. The main change to frontlines is Astrakhan (sp) is retaken by the soviets from the Italians The German panzer army to the SE of Moscow relocates and ...

Other location getting no rail supply despite being on lines with depots rebuilt- Lagan- 295, 175 Srednyaya Akhtuba 276, 159 Balashov 261, 142....the entire line along the rail to the SE from there also gets no rail supply Kalysin 225, 113 to the NW of moscow---no supply either for some reason All t...

As to ships yes im getting supply shipped to Batumi---thats not the issue...the issue is even when you re-rail the line east from Batumi no supply rails forward so i have to air re-supply forward from Batumi. My understanding is when you re-rail from a port supply should move by rail from the port i...

Its on the MP server and yes other rail lines have also stopped getting any type of freight as you move further east. is a spot to the north of Moscow that for some reason gets no freight despite being a fully repaired rail depot on a town.

So in my game vs tactical i have made really good progress towards Baku. No German supply seems to move down the final rail leg to that goes to the SE from Machakala or whatever its called--even when re-railed and deports set up on towns down that line no supply ever arrives. Watched it for months n...

Key numbers for OCT 1942... Next update will take awhile we have only been getting about 1-2 turns done a week lately and are currently in OCT 1942. M60 wanted an update though and it has been awhile as well mud wont allow either side to do much on the offensive side aside from some local ones where...

Swapped computers so lost the September pics but here is 1st week of October 1942. Overall not sure Germany will really gain much more---the massive force requirement increase for the western front drained alot of divisions from the eastern front in Fall 1942---trying to keep honest with the TBs so ...

If I surround moscow it would be game over.....I dont think that will happen unless he is much weaker than i anticipate...as i said above he just got 450k free replacements and mud is getting close so he is probably safe as he has enough men to keep putting stacks in front of my attacks.

yes its the plan is max pressure on moscow and its pulled in almost all real available soviet forces as you can see how weak he is everywhere else.....the bad is most the soviet army is there so its a slow slog against constant lvl 2/3 forts each turn....the 450k extra manpower he just got in septem...

August 1942 key numbers

1st Week of August 1942 update. Decided to move the updates to a monthly or so format as things arent completely stagnant but just slowly slogging forward. At this point the higher requirements for the other fronts are starting to drain forces from the eastern front so its getting close to probably ...

July 5th, 1942 key numbers:

Skipping forward some as stuff is happening but not much major other than the Soviets giving ground in the south. July 5th, 1942 turn: North:Close up on the major river line protecting the North of Moscow and start building up to eventually assault across Center: A couple assaults to get some ground...
