FITE2 Myself Axis, DesertedFox Russia

[cpt flam]

AGS

We are already on 19 November of 1941.
12 Army has been pushed a hex back.

A bit more than 1.8 K of troopers will no more annoy us.
Mark sent me a picture of his replacement at turn 47. I will show it at this time.

[cpt flam]

Turn 45
My offensive will end soon.

I could take one more hex.
Last turn, 6 regiment were destroyed.

[cpt flam]

AGC

as before, few hexes taken at high cost.
6 more regiments annihilated.

1.7 K troopers + 1.1 during their counter-attacks.

Air war is still costing much: 41 vs 144

[cpt flam]

AGS

advance is poor.
Rail working to join 17 Army.

Many Russians are concentrating between Gomel and Kiev.

Again 2 turns before showing their losses.

[Nowi Ribak]

Pretty impressive stuff, thx for the AAR.
Btw I just cant fathom how playing FITE2 is possible, the sheer monstrosity of it is remarkable.

Turn 46 Last time effort!

Junction between AGN and AGC
no possibility to try an assault!

Only bombarding them.
Air war has been 13 vs 61

[cpt flam]

AGC
4th Panzer could get an hex

but Russia took back Chausy.
I can't do anything to counter their numerous ART.

A lone regiment has been smashed.
about 1.3 K of troopers. (Inf+LMG)

[cpt flam]

Junction between AGC and AGS

I am under real threat and must withdraw as i can

Some units will be sacrifice, trying to keep others alive.
Russia offensive didn't began yet.

Shock is 100 for both of us.

[cpt flam]

Turn 47. It's official, Russia is launching his offensive.
Our shock is 100 for 120 to them.

AGN
showing my defensive line in the north.

Air war was poor during my turn: 7 vs 12 but improved during his part: 45 vs 299

[cpt flam]

AGC

here are my losses for Infantry
already heavy before they begin their attacks

my sole actions were bombardment.

[cpt flam]

Junction AGC and AGS

withdrawal has been effective.
Will it be enough

German air losses are at end of my turn.
We are no more receiving Me 109E

again 2 hexes to repair on rail line for a new road completed.

[cpt flam]

Soviet losses at the time.

My ART destroyed 0.8K and he loosed 70.8K of troopers. (Inf+LMG)
These are the bone of the majority of his troops.

During his attacks I will see annihilation of 9 III (German) and one of Rumania.
He too will loose 10 III.

[Dagfinn]

Hi
Sorry to bother you again, [:(]
but would it be possible to get a screenshot of the Arctic Front also?

[cpt flam]

I will put it next time
we are back to start line due to lack of supply.

[cpt flam]

Turn 48

in the Far North
we are back to initial start line

I removed units visibility to show supply

Over extension is set to 5
Actually I suffer a 1% pestilence.

[cpt flam]

AGN

rail line has been repaired

they are pushing hard
already few hexes has been taken

I loosed 5 regiments for 12 of them
seems fine for the moment

[cpt flam]

AGC

I don't know if I will keep Vitebsk?

The unit Red on Grey (8-13) are French Volunteers.

As before, I must replace regiment in great danger by battalions.
Air war is better; 10 vs 114 during my part for 8 vs 87 during his.
Total 18 vs 201.

[cpt flam]

AGS

here too, we are suffering.

I've indicated a regiment that has been engaged, trying to retreat.
They are no more entrench.

During the length of the turn, they loosed about 8.7 K of troopers.
Already, I must try to think for later.

[StuccoFresco]

How would you value the war and the scenario in its entirety? Smolensk in Soviet hands in December 1941 is bad news for the Germans.

[cpt flam]

I don't know yet for entirety. Never get thus far.
Main problem come from my cautiousness at the beginning.
Motorized units were poorly used to prevent their losses.
This authorized Russia to form strong defensive lines with much support.
Then I loosed shock advantage by failing to take objectives.
My main goal now is to survive their winter offensive.
