From Dunaburg to Daugavpils - Speedy vs RCH (no RCH)

[Speedysteve]

AGC North post moves.

The only movement and success up here was with 3rd Pz Gp making moves NW of Kalinin.

The Reds are just too strong in depth and in Defensive posture along the rest of the front.

[Speedysteve]

AGC South post moves.

Further wheeling on the flank by 2nd Army.

4th Army made 2 successful attacks against 24th and 34th Armies near Tula.

[Speedysteve]

AGS post moves.

6th Army near Voronezh. It will hopefully fall next turn.

[Speedysteve]

Rom Front.

VERY frustrating here. The Buffoon Corporal interfered in 1st Pz Gp just when I don't need him to. It means they didn't have the AP to move and close the pocket. ^£^*£*$£"*. Brilliant.

LOL. Go for it Wilhelm. I'm in Himmlers and Goofballs good books. They'll 'arrange' to ship you off to the Eastern Front if you're not careful?[;)]

[Speedysteve]

Turn 24 post moves.

18th Army begins to reach the Valdai Hills.

16th and 4th Pz Army advance 30 km's.

Finns sit on their a*se as they can't move past the border[8|]

[Speedysteve]

AGC North post moves.

Reds pull back on Kalinin.

No attacks are made.

[Speedysteve]

AGC South post moves.

No movement from 2nd Pz Gp.

4th and 2nd Armies move slightly further north crawling forward.....

[Speedysteve]

AGS post moves.

6th Armies assault on Voronezh by 4 x divisions fails.

2 bridgeheads over the Don are established though.

[Speedysteve]

Rom Front post moves.

VERY disappointing with 1st Pz Gp. Simply put I ran out of fuel and did not manage to seal all 14 enemy divisions in the pocket. If that bungling Corporal had not interfered last turn it's likely I would have had the AP and fuel to seal it but that **** negated that.

As it is I wiped out 4 divisions in a mini pocket and have moved the FSB up to Kharkov. 1st Pz Gp put on R&R.

Very confident Rostov will fall but p*ssed off I hadn't managed to seal the full pocket and been able to move the Pz Gp towards Voronezh.

11th Army fails to take Stalino but advances 30 km further south.

[Speedysteve]

Turn 25 post moves.

AGN:

Successful attack by 16th and 4th Pz Army infantry SE of Leningrad.

18th Army begin their advance into the Valdai wiping out 1/2 of a Conscript Division.

Unsure what to do with 4th Pz Gp at the mo. They're needed at Leningrad for now due to lack of infantry (Finns sitting in their deck chairs[8|])

[Speedysteve]

AGC North post moves.

3rd Pz Gp Armoured units head NE along the river and find the end of the Soviet defensive line for now! Soviet reactions determine what I do here next.

If Kalinin is not reinforced Infantry will assault it next week.

Artillery moved from 4th Army to 9th Army.

[Speedysteve]

AGC South post moves.

4th Army make 2 successful attacks SW of Tula as do 2nd Army further to the east.

I've moved 2nd Pz Gp down to the 4th Army region as the Soviet lines look slightly weaker in a 60 km stretch after the 4th Army attacks. The Reds will probably reinforce but I thought I'd move down just in case instead of them gathering dust.

[Speedysteve]

AGS post moves.

6th Army secures Voronezh.

[Speedysteve]

Rom Front post moves.

17th Army moves east. The Reds have what looks like nothing at all from this region upto Voronezh. I may well slide them SE towards Rostov in a bit as the Reds will have no choice but to withdraw from their current positions.

11th and 3rd Rom Armies secure Stalino.

Artillery is moved to 11th Army in prep for Rostov.

By the way I've meant to say 4th Rom Army has done well and is still in Perekop. Every turn the Reds have attacked losing 3-5K men for my <1K. My boys are doing well and the Reds are going to smash themselves out if they carry this on for another month.

[Speedysteve]

Turn 26 post moves.

AGN.

4th Pz and 16th Army push back 5 enemy divisions NE of Leningrad. These are then cut-off and destroyed in conjunction with the Finns.

18th Army pushes into the Valdai Hills and heavily wound 4 Conscript Divisions.

[Speedysteve]

AGC North.

3rd Pz Gp advances through constant forest and moves 5 Armoured Divisions over the river.

Things are certainly at their limit or nearing it supply wise here.

I've been saving the High Octane Fuel cards for a moment like this. They are played on both 2nd and 3rd Pz Gp's......

9th Army advances 30 km's nearer to Moscow.

[Speedysteve]

AGC South.

My predictions were correct there was a weak point in the Red defences near to Tula.

4th Army broke through allowing 2nd Pz Gp to race ahead and secure a bridgehead nearer to Moscow. It's likely they'll be pushed back but it does force the Soviets to react.

An attack on Tula was not strong enough to take it unfortunately.

[Speedysteve]

AGS.

6th Army makes gradual progress against the Conscripts near Voronezh.
