Afghanistan

My response to that city falling is to find a soviet regiment that is not very well positioned or supported and maul it.

I may not be able to stand toe to toe aganist the soviets but if the soviets make a mistake i can make them pay. And my end goal is to kill enough soviets for them to run.

[bwheatley]

After taking the city above we pulled back to stay more guarded. We don't want to corner the soviet beast just make him feel like he can't do anything about us.

As you can see that suprise in the first part of the game is still screwing us now. Having a whole division wiped out is bad. So now that i lost doshakh i'm going to give up tarkbey as well and pul back to the mountains. I have to face the 5th motorized which is coming the otherway too. I'm going to build a fort in the one clear hex on the river and hold to the west to try and stop the 5th coming down the road or at least make him think twice about pushing in so easily.

I told ara that he had those things going for him which made him decide to keep going and i'm sure he will push it even more now

[bwheatley]

Here's the situational map now. We are making good progress but a few bad turns in the east could end our hopes of a free afghanistan

[bwheatley]

Here are my plans i'm goign to fall back and defend up north to buy time for my hezbollah brothers to make it out here.

[bwheatley]

Another turn where i take heavy losses

[bwheatley]

A new russian depot is out and in effect.

[bwheatley]

Our strength took a tiny hit but the russian losses are really starting to mount!

[bwheatley]

A big battle around farah that we managed to win and kill 2 soviet tanks!

[bwheatley]

Here are the number totals.

[bwheatley]

This tank brigade has got to think about pulling out though if they do they could very well give me the win for the game. So he might hold on and fight to the death.

[bwheatley]

it looks like i am close to victory!

[bwheatley]

A brutal comeback from the soviets. I encouraged him to fight hard and not give up.

[bwheatley]

Major soviet losses now another 600 were added. And another few tanks.

[bwheatley]

The last unit blocking the way for the 5th motorized division to rape us has been elminated. SO now its fallback time i dont see anything we can do here. Other then fall back and hope we can take the west before we lose teh center.

[bwheatley]

Our flanking manuver meant the end of our scout unit but it also got the soviets to pull back and give up the river line. War of movement baby.

[bwheatley]

Our forces in the east were ripped to pisses by the large soviet cannons. SO we had to pull back 2 hexes. We held the airport for jalabad at one point but we had to give it up. We might even pull back farther. In the north you see a soviet SF unit that we caught and beat down pretty hard. In the center by the unit with 13 PP we wiped out another soviet SF unit. Every unit we kill is at least 5PP the soviets dont have. Also i put some partisans up in the north and they blocked supplies from termeniz that should pisse him off.

[bwheatley]

This is the 2nd whole tank regiment that got encircled and destroyed. I don't understand why ara didn't pull back. He saw me closing in on 3 sides with only 1 road out of there.

[bwheatley]

The left flank of the soviets is gone now after i wiped out those 2 tank regiments. Thank goodness hezbollah has powerful arty thats the only thing winning me anything now.

[bwheatley]

Since winter is over my newly rebuild airport got to say hello and drop some bombs on the soviets. took me 11 turns to build all those bombers and fighters. Thankfully i trie dto miss the soviet AF
