FITE2 Myself Axis, DesertedFox Russia

[StuccoFresco]

Damn, looks quite dire. Any long strategy you have in mind after the winter offensive?

[cpt flam]

I don't know yet.
Will be function of each other strength.
It may be to gain back what I will loose in first time.
After that who know ?

[cpt flam]

Turn 49.

AGN
They made a major push following the coast.
I was not really ready for that.
Situation there is worsening.[:@]

I got 223 Infantry division arriving by rail this turn.

[cpt flam]

AGC

situation seems good before receiving his answer.[&:]

There is a partisan brigade destroying my rail line between Minsk and Borisov.
His attacks are supported by mass artillery which shattered us.
I loosed 12 grenadier regiments for only 5 to him.

About 9 K of troopers removed anyway.

[cpt flam]

AGS

higher view.
As you can see, they are improving their pushes.

Kiev is under great attacks.

Air war continue to see our supremacy.
During entire turn, I loosed 20 planes for 233 to him.

[cpt flam]

Turn 50. December 10th

along the lake, they didn't try attacks. Only keeping contact.

They took some ground near Pskov.
As indicated a Cavalry division advance.

2 battalions relieved regiments which were exhausted.

AGC

I've no more question about Vitebsk ! It's only a matter of time before it's fall.

Several Panzer divisions are coming to rescue.
Already 2 regiments are isolated. No hope to rescue them, "hold at all" cost is their order.

During entire turn, 10 of my planes will be destroyed for 180 Soviets.

I will try each following turns to show different sectors of importance.

[cpt flam]

AGS

sector Dnepropetrovsk-Zaporozhye

4 armies are identified there.
Most dangerous place is in the south, where they try an envelopment.

Leaving Rumania to keep front line is probably not my best decision.[:(]
I must find a way to recover most of them.

We each lost 15 regiment, about 8.4K of Inf+LMG for him.
He must not have much in reserve.

[cpt flam]

After my turn 51.

AGN
again a rail to repair following partisan action.

I had to recover some units before they become isolated.
A regiment became engaged trying that.
This explain the visible HQ in second line.

[cpt flam]

Junction between AGC and AGS

we are around Gomel and Mozyr.
I've identify 2 Guard corps.

The group in the south (isolated one).
Contain a German reinforced division, few Hungary battalions and Pilfousek brigade (Slovak).
When this unit is disbanded/ destroyed, Fast division replaced it.

About 8.6 K of troopers destroyed.
I loosed 15 regiments (more to come) for 13 of him.

[cpt flam]

AGS

situation around Kiev.

As visible 95 Infantry division has been isolated.
Four Armies are in first line.
Situation is not improving.

Air war was not fine too, they claim many more then usual.
During entire turn, we erased 62 of their for 8 of mine.

[cpt flam]

Turn 52 done.

We will have to fall back.
This position is under their fleet fire.

3 Armies are identify and 2 others aren't.

Air war has been better: 14 vs 68.

[cpt flam]

AGC

some units became isolated this time.

Losses are horrible (22 regiments disappeared for 20 Russians).
Only 6.7 K of troopers.

OKW will have to find a solution.
I receive few units coming back, reinforcement are scarce.

[cpt flam]

North of AGS

Kiev Fortress became isolated too!

Sole good news is the end of pestilence.
Soviets reconnaissance and tank brigades are running in my rear.

Situation is looking grim.[&:]
