BrianG v. HYLA (no hard luck)

[BrianG]

last battle in area.

Very heavy German kia

[BrianG]

Final Lower Stalino

[BrianG]

Final Lower Pocket.

I thought it would hold but clearly no shut case.

I assume, if I had delayed my attack and tanks discovered, that this potion of the russian line was going to be retreated or heavily reinforced.

[BrianG]

Final Lower Orel

[BrianG]

final Moscow

[BrianG]

Final North, pending the attack by the Night King.

Actually its settling down. Leningrad will be reduced asap as I need troops elsewhere

[BrianG]

This turn air kia report

[BrianG]

This turn Ground KIA report

[BrianG]

OOB report

[BrianG]

Russian recon returns to the action. And I guess Russian MP's at this stage are very sufficient to move far enough to break pockets. Sad more than mad.

HYLA has shoved into this reopened pocket every non important unit, misc air hq's, unused airbases, unused hq's to block any corral attempts on better ground units.

[BrianG]

In west Moscow only 2 attacks but in one I had a very ugly loss of defensive bombers.

[BrianG]

This has been my air settings for the recent turns:

Feel free to comment?

[BrianG]

air kia since last turn

[BrianG]

ground kia since last turn

[BrianG]

The rr to the Crimea has been cut.

A very static front.

[BrianG]

I think we will be doing one attack a week until Leningrad is cleared.

Surrender seems to be the order of the day.

[BrianG]

And so begins my new encircle attempt.

Lots of routs

[BrianG]

Hyla also has thrown in 2 Front hq's. Anything to stop a retreat west of his guard cav units. HYLA has no regard for high command.

I contemplate how I could isolate the front hq's but it seems better to smash East and open a hole for future turns.

[BrianG]

This was a key hex: surround and then rout.

[BrianG]

While I attempt a push East to Stalingrad, I eye Rostov. It would be good to cut the rr over the river.

I run into Tank corp reserve activation
