Last We Heard... Pitaman (Axis) vs. M60A3TTS (Sov)

[sillyflower]

Those of us who are v. low tech don't have these problems, but I can't say that I would pay to do an AAR, let alone that much

Postimage.io is good.
You can also upload on the forum I think?
400 Dollars are redicolous.

[Kofiman]

imgur.com is also good.

Weeks 88 & 89
February 1943
End of Blizzard

Vatutin's 1st Ukrainian Front pushes west in the immediate area of Kiev. Progress is made to the south with Rotmistrov's 2nd Shock Army that allows Tolbukhin's 4th Ukrainian Front to also advance westwards.
Rotmistrov's 2nd Shock consists of two guards mechanized corps and three guards tank corps. Now that control of an area west of the Dnepr is of sufficient depth, plans can move forward for continued offensive operations in March. Multiple ground assault corps of IL-2 aircraft belonging to 8th Air Army continue their harassment of the retreating Axis troops.

Week 90
March 1943

The Southern Ilmen Offensive ended some time ago, but the after-effects are now being seen as 7th Independent Army is now in a position to push the Finns back all along the front in eastern Karelia.




In the Mogilev sector, Zhukov and Rokossovsky's troops pour over the Dnepr in swelling numbers.




In the south, Chernyakhovsky's 3rd Shock has the objective of Zhitomir.




Marshal Konev's 3rd Ukrainian Front are west of the River Ingul. The Yuzhny Bug will be the next obstacle to cross.

why didn't you try dropbox?
Those URL's are not really the same as an embedded image.
Or do just one pic at a time, saves time [;)]

[N35T0R]

It should embed them if you put them between [img] tags

[M60A3TTS]

It didn't work for imgur. Don't know why.

[M60A3TTS]

@glvaca: I tried, but then it just looks like this:

[Telemecus]

Ah as someone who uses imgur for everything I can help.

with imgur I just right click and copy image address on the picture once it is uploaded to the site

and here just paste it between ""

imgur has a number of urls for each picture - to embed, redirect, resize etc. So copying the url another way means you need to choose the right one.

It may not be the way it is supposed to be done - but it does work. All of my embedded screenshots are imgur.

When I started using imgur they did have the best reviews for least likely to start charging/ ditching your photos etc. So on that basis I chose them.

[M60A3TTS]

aha, it's the direct link, not the image link.

[Telemecus]

Wow - your earlier posts are suddenly going glorious technicolour! [:)]

Far north, the Finns are running




Far south, Coastal Army is freed from the Crimea and heads for the Dnepr.




Now for the in between...

Blasting our way forward towards Vitebsk.




The human tidal wave pushes forward relentlessly towards the Berezina.




Marshal Vatutin advises 1st Ukrainian Front has marched into Zhitomir. Cavalry-Mechanized forces to the south of Zhitomir are pushing on.




2nd SS Panzer Corps has to contend with the Soviet advance in the north and three of Koniev's Shock Armies of 3rd Ukrainian Front in the south. Quite a dilemna for Paul Hauser and his SS men. Supporting Koniev's advance is 2nd Artillery Army of seven breakthrough artillery divisions and four guards heavy rocket brigades. Support units are all 203mm super-heavy howitzer regiments to deal with fortifications.

Attacks continue west and northwest of Smolensk





The Germans are launching attacks in the south, although not on the scale that the Red Army is capable of.




The final push forward in the south before the mud arrives traps three German infantry divisions.

Spring planning and developments

Marshal Koniev does not stop attacking in mud and the Yuzhny Bug is crossed. STAVKA accordingly plans for upcoming operations in summer.




Interesting development north of Zhitomir. The Germans move significant tank forces just south of the Pripet in order to rescue their three trapped infantry divisions. The move goes for naught as a massive Red Army attack destroys these three divisions before clear weather arrives.

Clear weather returns

Our partisans are plentiful and active as many Axis security units have long been committed to front line service. Our air transports return from the reserve to provide ample night supply.




Air attacks are lined up to support the offensive.




Attacks to clear Vitebsk are under way as part of a broader set of attacks east of the Berezina.




The bridgehead over the Yuzhny Bug is widened. It can no longer be considered an obstacle.




North of Zhitomir the SS are attacking. Our response is a slicing attack northwest between Rakitno and Olevsk that severs the rail line supplying these mechanized forces. A separate mechanized corps from Western Front has severed a similar rail line to the northeast, thus cutting off Axis movement by rail into this area.






Again air activity is intense.

Steppe Front is activated and 3rd Shock Army commander Chernyakhovsky is offered this new command. He accepts, but this decision will have consequences.


In the south, the Kishinev Offensive continues to progress. The Axis forces farthest to the south prepare to abandon their positions on the Yuzhny Bug but their forces to the north will be reluctant to leave. Perhaps another stand-fast order from Berlin. In any case this decision too will have consequences.




The II SS Panzer Corps and other divisions remain in their positions south of the Pripet. Their intentions are unknown.
