Zhukov's war

[DavidFaust]

combat value 385, 8200 La-5FNs, 18.000 tanks... gee... sounds really impressive...

Those numbers sound scary to me but our generals think alot of iron crosses will be issued to our troops.

We continued the slow advancement. The monster panzer korps showing off its high combat value was defeated by the red army tankers with a little help from the red air force. Even 2 reinforcing motor divisions could not stop the panic which spread in proud ss panzers divisions as they run for their life. We await Hitler's reaction to this disgrace, hopefully he will disband all ss troops.

Germany has been effected by a few nasty bugs and im trying to work a way to reduce the effect as much as I can. I have been doing alot of play testing with tom1939 and I hope to resolve this soon. This game will be on hold for a few weeks to sort this out and to fully understand the effects it will have on Germany. I believe this could be a game breaking bug and ill post exact details on it when I have completed my testing.

Limitted info regarding bugs I have found...

After research has been completed factories not producing for 3 weeks
After research factories only producing about 1/2 of the equipment that is listed (think this lasts for about 1-2 months)
Changing factories after research has caused full functioning factories to stop producing. eg by getting a *(1) after the factory number

we assume we have lost around 1000+ fighters and could lose about 1000 more to these bugs. Germany has around 7000 fighters so this is a very high % to lose.

[PaxMondo]

Ouch.  Some mighty big bugs there.

[DavidFaust]

Our very powerful armored forces have been beaten and the entire position here looks bleek.

[DavidFaust]

Germany has suffed some big losses on this front and our only hope of stopping the Soviet advance is rain. Germany has pulled her lines back but she is stll being retreated by Soviet advances.

[DavidFaust]

Germany regards her north front as the toughest defense lines that she has. This myth has been destroyed with the 1st Soviet attack retreating strong German korps in the area.

[DavidFaust]

I have done my best to limit the damage these bugs have done to me. The effort to work out the exact cause and effects of these bugs would require more effort than im willing to make.

[PaxMondo]

Is Tom seeing the same thing, or only GER?

[Tom1939]

It affects me as well La7 production is about 20 % less now then it should. That is 100 per week for me.

Our attacks were mostly failed when we met real troops this week. We destroyed a few empty german korps, but were held off many places.

Germany is now defending her main defense lines and we hope they can stop the Soviets in there tracks. For the 1st time Germany has bulked up jadgpanthers in key areas and we eagerly await the results.

[PaxMondo]

Oh oh.  Late blizzard.  Tough for GER.  SOV has her chance ....

The bloodbath continued as we pushed the germans back again. Jagdpanthers fire from ambush positions, we take the damage and hunt them down one by one. Lvov is encircled. Bialystok and Brest begins to get flanked. German mountain line behind the river in the south defeated. Let the cold weather hold so we can break the germans.

Oh. GER oil source will be endangered soon. This not looking good for GER. And the entire summer is still left ... maybe the Luftwaffe can save the day? Is there a hidden force of He177's waiting to be unleashed? Or was there a breakthrough with the secret weapon that the spies have been cackling about? this Me262 or something? Can it be rushed into production in time?[8D]

AGS has launched a counter attack trying to regain the lost mountain positions. Reports are unclear but it seems that a Pz korps has got lost and failed to show up to the battle in great numbers.

AGC has been ordered to retreat her exposed flanks and Pz korps have been moved into position for mobile defence. We will be keeping a watchful eye on the Soviets advance in this sector.

The garrison at Lvov has broken out to the west.


AGN is in very good position but it will be required to pull back her forces in line with AGC.

Only the A bomb can save Germany now

The germans begun to flee in the centre. We took Bialystok without fight, and forced the strong garrison of Brest to surrender. Ugly rain came to save the fleeing germans.

The Soviet advanced can only be stopped by 2 things, bad weather and lack of supply. We are in luck this week.
