1941 Campaign all 255turns! Bob vs Trey

[karonagames]

T30. No regains in front of Kharkov. I will save the panzers for another day.

[karonagames]

T30. Again no real need to commit the panzers.

[karonagames]

T30. More mountain troops arrive to help the Rumanians in the Crimea.

[karonagames]

T31 logistics. Suggestion posted in the suggestions box regarding Army group commander musical chairs.

[karonagames]

T31 Moscow. No hexes recovered but no threat of a breakthrough either.

[karonagames]

T31. Tula is still holding well - this area is key to my 1942 Summer plans, so the more I hold here the better.

[karonagames]

T31. Trey is pushing hard on Kharkov but I'll wait until he is nearer to my panzers before I risk weakening them.

[karonagames]

T31 Stalino.

[karonagames]

T31 Trey continues to have fun in his little Crimean sideshow.

[karonagames]

T32 Logistics. Still seem to be getting plenty of replacements. the first turn of blizzard took out over 250k but I seem to be getting them back slowly but surely.

[karonagames]

T32 retreats. Trey is keeping up with the rate, and from this I know that over the blizzard I am going to lose an average 3.5 hexes across the whole front. It then becomes a question of how many I can get back in March. I doubt Trey will let me do what I did at Stalino in the Field marshal Noob AAR, but I can see a couple of opportunities lining up, so I am redeploying the Panzers accordingly.

[karonagames]

T32. Kalinin is another key area for summer 1942, so Trey's lack of pressure here is good for me. If I was the Soviet, this would be my first target for my Shock Armies.

[karonagames]

T32 at the gates of Tula.

[karonagames]

T32. Getting Closer to Belgorod and Kharkov - I have to hold my nerve a litle bit longer before committing the panzers.

[karonagames]

T32. stalino receives reinforcements from OKH.

[karonagames]

T32. And the fire brigade arrives in the Crimea, so I suppose Trey has achieved his objective of diverting units away from the main front.

[karonagames]

T33 losses.

[karonagames]

T33 Logistics

[karonagames]

But some, like 11th panzer are desperate to be upgraded to the 1942TOE so they can get their hands on the new PZIIIs and PZIVs.

[karonagames]

T33. Some of my Panzer divs are getting into decent shape.
