War Diary of the OKW (1941 - 1945 campaign)

You lost enough battles to create some Guards units for the computer. [:D]

Could you give us a SS of the Losses for both sides up to now?
Seems like you just pushed into Leningrad by force, instead of cutting supply first, so what shape is your units up north in now after that?
Im currently at turn 13 in Axis GC so very interesting this...
Thanks.

I did not just push into Leningrad outright. I took two of the Leningrad hexes almost immediately, and then it took a 6- or 7-turn siege to break the last defences.

My troops are in fairly good shape, since I only used about 4 divisions of AOK 18 for the fighting itself. I've had them on Refit since the last resistance collapsed two turns ago and they're up to about 90% strength. The biggest problem for Army Group North is the same as for everybody else: no reserves.

The loss rate is about 3.200.000 Soviet to just under 500.000 Axis troops lost to all causes.

Also: it seems you've found a bug, a routed fortified zone.

This happens if a newly placed fortified zone is contacted by an enemy unit before the Logistics Phase.

Hi all,

Nope. Been busy with real life stuff. Will probably get back into it next week.

This is actually the second blizzard turn, but there was no activity on the first. Here are the most memorable engagements (there was some inconsequential stuff at Novgorod and in the Crimea, but nothing of note):




My general plan is to make the enemy bleed as much as I can, while preserving my forces and especially avoiding encirclements. No terrain is worth holding if I lose a corps or an army.
