Alright thanks.

Hey you guys I was just on the verge of capturing Riga on my second round of combat when I got an early turn ending. Isn't that frustrating? Here's a screenshot of the situation:

Here's the minimovie of the moves from turns 1 throu 3:

Here starts a series of close-ups of the moves starting at the northernmost sector and working our way south. First the north sector:

And the next sector to the south:

Here's the Axis losses so far: [note to self: check to see how these losses differ from the turn 3 losses in D21 AAR ]

[larryfulkerson]

Hey you guys...here's a comparison of the Axis losses between the stock FITE scenario and the Directive 21 scenario for losses at the end of turn 3:

I almost forgot to post the north and south halves of the front lines as of the end of turn 3. Here's the north half of the front lines:

Nothing got to move on the southern end of the south half so I truncated the image somewhat:

I got an early turn ending in turn 3 ( only two combat rounds ) so I didn't destroy all that much of the Soviet stuff.  I figure I destroyed 19 Soviet units:  15 land combat units and 4 tank divisions.  I still have no earthly idea what the Soviet losses are squad-wise and we'll have to wait for Curt to post something before we'll know I suppose.

I found most of my units tired and decided to make do with only three combat rounds this turn. I calculated that I destroyed 26 Soviet units this turn: 22 inf types, 1 armoured division, and 3 arty pieces. I instituted a program of bridge busting since the Soviet airforce has regained some of it's shock ( 75 now ) and the losses I would sustain from attacking them would be nearly 1 for 1. I neglected to keep track of which bridges I attacked and which ones were dropped in the water but I'm guessing maybe two out of the 16 or so attacks were successful each round resulting in maybe 6 bridges busted this turn(?). Here's the minimovie showing the moves from turns 1 throu 4:

I've put together some screen captures to build the entire front lines as they exist at Turn 4 Round 3 but the resulting image is 1.7M big and can't be posted here but you can find it at this url:

I now start a series of images to show the close-ups of the moves, starting at the northernmost sector. This one shows how I'm attempting to cross the river and sneak up on Riga from the east. I've surrounded Dagavpils and assume I will be able to assault it in turn 5 or so:

This image shows me trying to surround Minsk from the northwest so that I can start assaulting in about two turns or so:

This one shows me thrusting from left to right through the Soviet defenders just north of the Pripet marshes:
