Turn 102
still mud ,i saw something interesting i though for the coming summer and i doubt ill be able to stop him ,il post SS
Airforce losses are still a bit of a joke i think otherwise not much to report

[gids]

something brewing?

[gids]

not sure if i can stop him he still has a formidable Panzerforce

Gids

I think you may mean you are moving corps not corpses.
Corpses are dead bodies.
Maybe you were right, though

[gids]

i think it should be corps sized units,but idd im lazy and say corpses :p,everyone knows what i mean though...i hope

[sillyflower]

and when you wrote on map that you were moving corpses upwards, I assume you meant to Heaven [:D]

Turn 103
the summer offensive of the germans went of a start and as expected ......tambov area,thank god i send some reinforcements on the last turn there!
he succeeded to make a small kessel and surround part of the volkhof front ,apprently his breakthrough didnt go as good as expected,because he couldnt close it well
i broke out of the kessel with a cavalry removed Enemy Zoc with that ,reshuffled units to other HQ who werent displaced and started to widen the gap i made,after that i pulled the whole kessel back ,then i used my reserve tankcorps to attack his spearhead and cut it off ,i also routed several off his motorized units in the proces,its a small kursk,he lost over 200 tanks with the attacks i made,that will hack in it im sure,also i seem to have total control of the skies almost,some fights over 500 planes go up on a good base,this game is not over yet

T 105 im in problems,he broke through with 3 SS divisions through a weak spot (which was bound to happen) ,and i have practically no reserves ,i could go retreat and cut my losses ,but why he cant have more then this ....so i decide to try to cut open the supply and smash with a few guard corps in his flank and make it 1 big tank battle,i rout at least 4 or 5 of his units and succeed to open the supply to all my units,i kno that wont be enough so i bring in reinforcements from Ivanovo ,which i forgot about totally and make a new defensline along the river with the SS units i make 2 corps inits 1 in the back as a nasty surprise next turn and maybe to open a new pocket,if i can keep this up at least 2 more weeks his offensive will have to stall he is losing tremendous amounts of panzers,after that i push over the whole front and dont give his other units rest,he used alot of his weak units as guard units on other fronts plust their TOE will be put on a minmium perhaps for his offensive;on the south front its statick i dont have the reserves to go on the assault there,the battle for tambov has to be won

losses after move

[gids]

how the front looks like after my move,i do hope my units can keep up

[gids]

T 105
The battle is full raging now and Tarhunnas commited litterally everything he has all his SS divisions tons of panzers ,same at my side,this battle will decide everything and i cant retreat so pushing harder and more,i succeeded to open 2 gaps again by doing a tricky move .i opened Gap 1 made corps units inside with units who were ready and high morale ,assigned tanks and sapper to them ,stacked and attacked the 2nd gap ,i had a good victory there and soviet troops cheer inside and start to fight harder.i made some more reserve rifles at ivanovo to send down and prepare the line to attack The SS units ,if given time i can maybe do a hard counter,but it depends all how long tarhunnas will prolong the offensive before he decide he has no cards left and has to pull back

[gids]

this is after the move it went well and my guard units i putted in reserve and refit did excellent work down

One administrative suggestion.  Stick to black or white lettering on your maps.  The orange and to a lesser extent the red is harder to read.

[Fishbed]

Wow, great engagement Gids!

But I am a little surprised to see the Volkhov front fighting at... Tula!

[gids]

:p i had some reorganization to do after tarhunnas took half my frontline into captivety, still have the trans cauc front in reserve to use ....no ap to use em and i will follow your lead m60

It's hard to use the Soviet Front HQs geographically, because as you get the new ones, you have to use them where you need them.

It doesn't matter in game terms, but I wish you could re-name them for Chrome, and to keep it geographical

[cpt flam]

not sure if you rename them
how it will affect about next change of name
