BrianG V Pelton round 2 ( PELTON OK ZONE)

[BrianG]

Now I start thinking: can I cut off his tank force with a deep running tank corp.

Can I attack north out of the pocket and seal the pocket or south with a tank which would be a hasty attack.

Who would get sacrificed for the motherland. You can see two tank corp with 50 mp waiting to move.

I decide to go......

[MrBlizzard]

Wow very bold move![8D] Suspence for your readers

good move, I agree that its sometimes worth chucking away an early Tank Corps for the disruption and chaos they can cause behind the lines, I think some German players forget how easy it is to get them to 50MP and its that mobility that is the real benefit not their weak combat value

[KWG]

Looks like HQs and airbases on the menu.

One of the ways the real 2nd Battle of Kharkov could have went.

[timmyab]

Wow that's aggressive! Love it.
What you wouldn't give for a fueled up 86+ morale mobile division in that situation. A quick drive around Kursk and half the Luftwaffe would become scrap metal
You need balls of steel and talent to play like this and get away with it. Good luck.

[ericv]

Really bold move. Good Luck! Good to see two great players fighting like this.

Why am I not enjoying seeing this [&:]

I will try to be more careful.................

I reckon there is a good chance of isolating Pelton's armour in turn as well as having a bit of a rampage in his nether regions

[BrianG]

You must be seeing a mirage as our game is certainly not going to end up like this match.

So silly!

[BrianG]

Here are my troops to seal the pocket.

[BrianG]

Defeat. These losers will be starved in slave labor camps.

Keubler v Galinin

[BrianG]

I attacked this hex to help squeeze the very long supply mp

[BrianG]

And since I am such a nice guy, I decide to encircle the troops north of the breakthrough.

[M60A3TTS]

Yeah, a single 3 CV tank corps from outside wasn't going to cut it against a 7=14 infantry div, even with the supporting units from the inside.

[BrianG]

up close

[BrianG]

German planes have a very rough time of it for turn 49

[timmyab]

Lol the the German generals must be saying "hold on, we're supposed to be doing the surrounding here thank you very much!" [:-]

[loki100]

well done, that is going to take him some sorting out with lots of long term consequences - not least the volume of damage you've just done to the Luftwaffe

[chaos45]

The damage to the German airforce was massive for early 1942---Im guessing after all the combat he had alot of damaged planes you just rolled up on the ground with your breakthrough tank corps....it will open up many of those tank corps to encirclement tho, be interesting to see Peltons response.

[ericv]

hope this turns out for the good. although with the panzerschwarm effectiveness this could turn out to be the beginning of a disaster

[BrianG]

I just figured out that this report is only showing 10 more recon kills. The 40 total includes the 30 from my prior end turn.

This applies for all plane types.

I had thought it was just the totals from the German half turn.
