The bulge near Stalino / Kharkov is getting bigger.

Small update... I think you guys downloaded Larry's aar-files so i bet that you know what's situation right now. Here's picture from end of turn 71 (date is 22. February 1942)
So Larry's panzer-armee broke thru' my line near Kharkov., and now he got open road all way to Moscow. And Rumanian army-group (blue units on map) are going also thru soonm near Stalino within 5 turns or so..?

I'm planning large withdrawal operation (yes.. again). And i need also much reinforcements for the new line, and i seriously need block way to moscow/other important cities ASAP:


So.. Stay tune! For future AAR-updates.

Okay here's bonus picture from Moscow. Shows my tank-corps reserves. NOTE! Most of them (almost all) doesn't have even all tank brigades and HQ + mot. brigade yet so i will keep them as reserves until they got everything full...

Here's a little movie I put together of the bulge area from turns 62 through 74 which shows how quickly the bulge went from a small bump in the front lines to the full-fledged hole that it developed into.

Turn 74

4. March - 7. March 1942
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okies... So i talk'd about planning my withdrawal-operation in south, and here is overall-plan. So Southern and Kharkov fronts (contains about 12 armies) will begin retreat-operation at next turn and occupy new positions and build line.

Plus, in west of City of Kursk, whole Bryansk front (about 5-6 armies + 2 mech corps) begins withdrawal-operation and move backwards little bit... Avoiding bulge, and Fulkerson loses possibility to cut off their supply line.

Random pic from new line part around Voronezh, as you can see. Its under construction, and very thin.

Okie dokie....I've finished the Axis turn 75 and I published the AAR here:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/ygmxmi0zj ... 5 AAR.html

The bulge is getting bigger and bigger.

Okie dokie....I've finished the Axis turn 76 and I published the AAR here:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/jmvm2nwyt ... 6 AAR.html

Dave started a pull-back and I went into pursuit mode.  There's lots of fighting going on all over the south part of the map.

Okie dokie....I've finished the Axis turn 77 and I published the AAR here:

Turn 77

15. March - 17. March 1942
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alright. Pull-back was success in Bryansk front, but not in Southern & Kharkov fronts.
Also as sidenote, Sevastopol pocket reduced to single hex, so city will definitely fall next turn...
Some infantry losses so far:


Here's picture from Kharkov-pocket area. Sad thing, that good armies (such as Guards & shock type) left trapped in city.

Here's overall-situation in south, not very good:

Great pocket in Kharkov, pleasure to watch it. Maybe next one in Moscow [;)]

Turn 79

22. March - 24. March 1942
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good day. So it's turning spring/summer now (yeah, also in our fite. lol).
So last turn, Don front at bay-area collapsed because of 7. Fallshimjäger dropped behind my lines, and now Rumanians got hole on the line... I'm planning little pull-back as follows:
(Note, 27. Army is coming from Leningrad to reinforce new line, and takes its slot between 9. Sep. Army and 3. Guards A.)
