and the rest of the map

and yea, I didn't drive as deep with my deep south forces, but that was the plan

[ComradeP]

Seems you need to take a look at your city garrisons, you seem to have a serious partisan problem, even though the VVS isn't resupplying them it seems.

[Helpless]

even though the VVS isn't resupplying them it seems.

Being "in red" (OOS) is normal state for partisans, so you can't say from that how well they have been supplied.

that is a every week issue, every week you got to go hunt them down

(hassle is, the hunters are the garrisons, so if you have to leave the city, you add to the hassle)

[Hard Sarge]

well, been a few turns since I posted

so 3 weeks later, and I reach my goal !

the last port in the north is taken, the Fins are Freed (of course, the hassle there is, the no attack line is still in force, so the Fins over there can cross the Axis controlled hex, they still can not attack (but they can defend and take some pressure off of my troops)

[Hard Sarge]

the Fins are Freed !!!!

and what taking the ports mean

and a little to the south, you see the hassle the Russian is having, easy to say it should of done this or that, but they are under pressure all up and down the line, so not easy to do that which needs to be done

[Hard Sarge]

ahhh, I keep posting the after shot, instead of the during !!!

so here is what the Russian is up against

[Hard Sarge]

in fact, the whole line is in trouble (been resting my Armor, then massing, then resting, the last time though I totally burned them out, now they only smoking badly)


(really, I need a better naming system, or post more while the names are fresh !)

[Hard Sarge]

and the rest of the map

[Hard Sarge]

that bottom one, is a good pocket, and been fighting to form it for 3 weeks !!!

[Hard Sarge]

the pockets were good, but, most of the units were way understrength

if they had been full, it may of been 3 times the losses !

of course, to be honest, if they were full, my losses would of been much higher, and the chances of forming the pockets would of been much lower

(there has been a lot of shifting on the fronts, I shift, the Russian shifts, then I shift back to where I planned, and the Russian is a day slow in getting back, and I am able to hit the weak points, find enough weak points and you will force gaps, forces gaps, you got to get pockets)

[Hard Sarge]

took a lot of battles and losses, but I drove them out, which that was the main force in that pocket, the rest is simi mop up

which oddly, as good as it looks, I have only picked up 4 points towards victory, this turn, I got another 5

going to be a long war

[Hard Sarge]

I have had these guys on refit for 3 weeks, think another week should do it

then I noticed something, do you see it ???

[paullus99]

14 Captured T34s?

[Hard Sarge]

yeap

[Beetle]

14 captured T34s...sounds like your guys are being very efficient during their rest and refit. [:D]

[ComradeP]

Are the T34's automatically upgraded to German standards over time as the Panzer 747(r), or would the modifications the Germans made have such a limited effect in game terms that the captured examples have the same stats as a regular T34 of the year it was produced in?

[Hard Sarge]

I don't think we modeled the German "used" ones, you get what you capture, and may use it for a little bit (you are not going to field 100's of Russian Tanks)

you are much more likely, to put guns to work for you, then AFVs

[Hard Sarge]

dang, twice now, my screen capture program has quit in the middle of the turn, taking the snaps I had not saved yet

(new update says it had a major bug with the last release !)

but, here is where I am at, so close, but MUD has showed up, and has really put a hurt on me (all those Airfields were so close, I could just hear the sounds of my treads crushing there lousy little wings !)

[ComradeP]

The sheer amount of air and HQ units make that screenshot look kind of glitchy.
