1941 Campaign all 255turns! Bob vs Trey

[karonagames]

T24. The Rumanian mountain men start climbing their mountains.

[karonagames]

T24 Losses:

[karonagames]

T25 Logistics: So you capture 1/3 of Moscow and your reward? You get the sack!!!

[karonagames]

T25 Production: 600 aircraft gone missing due to bug[&:] And my HQ Buildup decisions has really reduced my vehicle pool with a knock on effect to the supplies my units have.

[karonagames]

T25 Moscow. While XXXX1 panzer korps are nice and warm in the Moscow B&Bs the rest of the army freezes it bollocks in level 7 ice. There is a slight salient so Trey will no doubt go for the shoulders, so I move a panzer corps to the north and the south.

[karonagames]

T25 Voronezh. Linebacker in place and panzers moving back to winter quarters.

[karonagames]

T25 Kharkov. Weakest sector of the front. 6th Army has no linebackers yet and no panzers on their way to winter quarters.

[karonagames]

T25 Rostov. The Paras and Rumanian armoured are the sacificial Lambs to allow 1st Panzer to escape. The armour may have to stay in the front line for longer than I usually like. Retreat losses for panzers are horrible - usual 25% of afvs for each hex retreated.

[karonagames]

T25 Crimea. The First turn of Blizzard and the Rumanians start deciding they don't want to fight!

[ComradeP]

Bob, where are your garrisons?

[karonagames]

I don't worry about cities in front of my rail net as there is nothing for the partisans to Hit, but everything behind the lines is covered. The Panzers will be there soon.

[karonagames]

A little bit of activity in the North but the net is well developed there.

[karonagames]

T26. Lost the casualty screen, but at 84k they were almost identical to the AI test on normal settings:

As expected, Trey is going for the shoulders, and it looks like Rzhev needs a garrison!

[karonagames]

T26. You Capture Rostov and what's your reward? You get the sack. Bock loses his job for the second or is this the third time?

[karonagames]

T26. I recapture 4 out 6 hexes in this sector.

[karonagames]

And 4 out of 6 here.

[karonagames]

And 4 re-takes here. Of course the rumanians routed and are now refitting in Stalino.

[karonagames]

T26 2/3 of Rumanian 4th Army decides it does not want to fight.

[karonagames]

Thankfully the Mountain troops are not affected by the Blizzard and continue to fight, as do the slovaks. looks like I will have to Bail out the Rumanians.

T26 from my AI (challenging) Test for comparison:
