OKH Plan 1942 - Alpha AAR

[PyleDriver]

(AAR) Leningrad front...Lindermann's XXXVIII corps was attached to AGN to relieve Manstein's overloaded command. 2 more Inf divisions arrive to the front from AGC...The Soviets continue to press this area hard...

[PyleDriver]

(AAR) Moscow front...4th army swapped corps with 9th army and is covering the flank now. Hoth and Model continue to press eastward...

[PyleDriver]

(AAR) Voronezh front...Rienhardt's 3rd PzA wasted no time to press a fight. The Huns are taking a beating and need some relief...

[PyleDriver]

(AAR) Rostov front...See saw battles here. 137th ID arrives from AGC, and the stout 6th PzD is entrained from Germany and due to arrive next week. 69th ID is entrained from Germany also. That should hold down the front...

(AAR) Overview...

I still think you need to put your emphasis in the Leningrad front, cut it off, occupy it and I believe you will have turned the Russki flank.

[PyleDriver]

(AAR) Manstein countered and sent a Tank Corps to the rear. The two ID's are now in his command. Alot of sub units were sent there also...As far as an offence on Leningrad it's way past due now, all I can do is draw them out and hit them hard...They have a 3 to 1 ratio in armor now...

[PyleDriver]

(AAR) Model transferred another corps to 4th army and pressed the attack with Hoth. 2nd PzA is pressing a strong right flank...The rail lines have all been repaired now...

[Neal_MLC]

Sounds like it might be time to issue the Panzershrecks and Panzerfausts[:D]

[PyleDriver]

(AAR) Reinhardt's 3rd PzA is poised for action and to hit hard. The Huns are taking a beating and he's pressing the fight. The goal the rail junction (in yellow), this should slow down any offence agianst Voronezh in the coming summer...

[PyleDriver]

(AAR) Kleist attacked west to support 2nd army and the line was rolled south and another ID was sent there...

[PyleDriver]

(AAR) The 6th PzD arrived and the two ID's also, This should hold the front...

Jon, when you say that the "Huns" are taking a beating, I assume you mean the Hungarians as the Germans seem to be doing fine in that sector?

Also: The recently converted/reclassified as PzG Wiking is the only SS divisional sized quality formation you have at your disposal, right? Do you have any special plans for the LSSAH, DR and TK when they come back in February/March, possibly including the partially converted SS Polizei division?

[PyleDriver]

Soon I have to go to a flex defence, which is draw them out and hit them hard. Yes alot of elite SS units come back in the spring...Agian I'm hitting weak regions, keeping my head about me, and cut theres when they stick it out...

I can't read your strategy - why are you pushing to the East of Moscow?   Won't this just create a bulge?   I can't see the advantage unless it is to ease pressure elsewhere and for the attrition...
