Tophat1812(REDS) vs Moses(Krauts and friends)

[ComradeP]

Sincere apologies for not commenting earlier, in the weekend I kind of lost track of the AAR's popping up amidst all the questions. I'll try to give you some pointers as soon as I switch to a PC with a monitor that can handle the size of the screenshots.

Isolating the AGS mobile units was a very good move.

The thing I don't get thus far is how the Romanian front activated on turn 2 with no active German units near it, maybe the units west of Stanislav were close enough but it's odd.

[Avenger]

Good job on the pocket. I will be following this AAR. By the way can you tell me what those units called PC are that are at various places and seem left behind?

[ComradeP]

Partisan units in their formation stage.

[ComradeP]

Try to form a bit more of a checkerboard in the AGC area.

Get the units geographically west of Rovno/the Goryn river in the marshes the heck out of dodge ASAP. You could try to cut off the cavalry division that's trying to cut you off. Units in swamps are like ticks when you try to remove them, so your units should be fine when not overly exposed.

Indeed that German cavalry division is a target,I am sure he'll send support for it. In regards to my units in the marshes believe me they are moving as fast as they can east.

In the Smolensk/Vitebske area I am moving boys up to setup the checkerboard.

[Tophat1815]

Well the darn Finn's pick this moment to pile on by joining the 3rd Reich SOB's in their war of Aggression!

I will be falling back here,leaving the fortified zones to delay and slug it out as all mobile forces redeploy to previously prepared positions.

[Tophat1815]

The situation around Leningrad and Baltic's.

[Tophat1815]

This is rather chaotic,I plan to use river lines as delay points to shield Leningrad for as long as possible. This turn I am railing the KV-1 factory outa here!!!

[Tophat1815]

Smolensk front,here he comes in south of the gap between rivers.

[Tophat1815]

Here we have marshes and Gomel area.

[Tophat1815]

We have the Kiev front area just before my movement on turn#4

[Tophat1815]

Ahh,the south central front. Well so much for my pocketing the bad guy last turn. I probably saved him from driving deeper into the east.

[Tophat1815]

And the Romanian front/Odessa area. I'm inclined to BUG-OUT! and leave a NKVD border-guard force behind to make him have to assault the port.

[jomni]

Subscribed! 

[Tophat1815]

Here we go with Losses as of start of my Soviet turn#4.

[randallw]

The marshes are a bad place to fight in.

I'd get as many of your defenders on the rails and move them out.

South of the marshes you can leave just a few units to protect the northern flank.

[Tophat1815]

Just after that opening look at the start of every turn,when you see the inexorable advance of the Grey fascist legions......I look at my next turns reinforcements! I see the 30 Infantry and Cavalry divisions coming to a front near me. So you see,its not so bad.

Agreed,I am there by circumstance not by choice. In some cases I routed/retreated into the marshes. In others it was the only way out. But the boys are leaving,worry not.

As it is 2:30am EST and my brain is mush I shall say good night. Please feel free to ask questions and give advice. I intend to knock this turn out after I get up and before the holiday festivities commence.

Leader casualty I just saw off the commanders report:

[randallw]

Ha, Beguzly died on me a few days ago.

A lot of those divisions arriving are mostly shells, about 1/3rd of full strength.  They won't be useful for another two turns.
