Stalin's in the gulag, I'm in charge! II - vs 2ndACR (Axis)

[TulliusDetritus]

Bryansk Front. I am advancing (active).

[TulliusDetritus]

Southwestern Front Northern Massacre (active, I advance) [:)]

[TulliusDetritus]

Southwestern Front Southern Massacre (active idem etc.)

[TulliusDetritus]

The Southern Front reserves (3 rifle divisions) were finally put to good use this turn [;)]

They were assigned to 9th Army (southern flank of this front AND very WEAK) and made possible attacks against the poor Rumanians: 3 divisions routed [:)] No active, I am NOT advancing.

[TulliusDetritus]

Partisans were active. Good for them and double ration of vodka [8D]

[TulliusDetritus]

Oh, and I unleashed the bears near Sevastopol as well. One German Infantry Division forced to retreat.

[TulliusDetritus]

And the Kerch Strait thing. The 51st Army covers this part, attached to Caucasus Front.

[TulliusDetritus]

And finally, I have formed 4 reserve armies (aka attached to Stavka). Each one has 4 rifle divisions and 1 tank brigade: 3rd, 10th, 33rd and 46th. All of them have support units as well.

I have sent the 4th Shock Army to the Southern Front (attached the same to Stavka) to reinforce the offensive down there.

And I have bought 3 Rifle Divisions and 10 Rifle Brigades (needed to form the defensive lines I already mentioned).

1: During turns 25-27 the soviets may attack with 4 fronts.
2: During turns 28-34 the soviets may attack with 3 fronts.
3: During turns 35-37 the soviets may attack with 2 fronts.
4: No Front can attack for more than 3 turns in row - i.e. they must rest every 4th turn.

Oops, looks like on last turn (28) only 3 fronts were allowed to advance. My mistake (4 advanced)... again [:D]

This also means the Volkhov, Northwest and Southwest fronts CANNOT advance this turn. The "more than 3 turns in a row thing".

Clearly 42 Russians. 43 Russians:

[TulliusDetritus]

Ok, active fronts:

Leningrad
Bryansk
Southern

27 retreats this turn.

Leningrad attacks (active, I advance). As you can see I am going to carpet the whole rear with brigades and fortified regions. I won't take any risk (German '42 offensive). I want ALL the hexes to be fortified [;)]

[TulliusDetritus]

Volkhov and Northwest Fronts. Attacks were possible but I am NOT advancing [:(]

[TulliusDetritus]

Kalinin Front. Not advancing and few attacks.

[TulliusDetritus]

No attacks in the Western Front.

[TulliusDetritus]

Bryansk Front (active). Interesting. I am threatening to form a pocket

[TulliusDetritus]

Southwestern, northern part. Not active, but here I advanced in one place because there was a gap [;)] If I don't do that then he only would need to defend with few units... and I could not advance. Irrational. If he does not cover all the hexes (aka some sort of checkerboard), this has nothing to do with the rule, in my opinion. But I did not occupy the hexes after I kicked him out of them.

[TulliusDetritus]

The Southwestern thing, southern part.

[TulliusDetritus]

The Southern Front is active. Here I am terrorising the minor Axis Allies The 4th Shock Army is coming... I will try to encircle the 3 big cities in this area: Stalino, etc., from the south and north.
