A random blizzard AAR (no Traemyn please)

[olivier34]

I decide to counter attack with the 2d panzer...seems that I did not recon well enough the places. The attack is a disaster
End of my turn...I should expect that my opponent open another front, the weather is Blizzard or snow everywhere.

[olivier34]

Turn 78. The north is under attack

after the german move

[olivier34]

In the center, the front hold by the 17th army has been very calm until this :

[olivier34]

In the south, after a soviet effort of 4 weeks, the front is broken. We will see if my second line of defense will hold better

[olivier34]

After the german move...

[olivier34]

here are the losses of the soviets. I have to email Traemyn about those soviet air losses and to ask him if he has got some fun playing this game (He told me already that he has a lot of fun [:@])

[olivier34]

T79
More soviet attacks this turn but under the blizzard, it seems a little more costly for them.(ratio around 4/1)
Now I am convice that Traemyn has put most of his powerful armies down south. I will have to concentrate more armies myself here.

[olivier34]

I need to withdraw the second panzer. A little scary because they will stand without any fortification to protect them. Hope that Traemyn will be cautious.

T80 mud in the south ! blizzard elsewhere
During the previous turn, the soviets did attack toward Kirovograd, as I thought. With the mud, I will be abble to withdraw a little more but I want to keep a saliant, the second panzer will hold it, at least two more weeks.

[olivier34]

The 2nd army is railed to the south. Here are two screenshots of my entire front (sorry to those who answered my question regarding the building of one picture of the entire front, I have to get photoshop and take some more time to figure out how to do it !)
By the way, I have now 3.6 millions of men and around 3400 afvs in the german army. Not bad ! [8D]

[olivier34]

the south

[olivier34]

T81 Blizzard, rivers frozen...
A counter attack west of Smolensk by the 4th panzer. Good for the moral [;)]

[olivier34]

Losses of the previous T80 soviet attacks. Most of them did hold [;)]

[olivier34]

In the south, let's see what they will do. Attack my second panzer ? The 1st one is threatening is flank...The 2nd army is a little weak but has taken is place in the front line (only 40 miles to hold)

[olivier34]

Turn 82 Blizzard but in the south of France we have a summer season in September, cool [8D] (The supreme commander is far from the east but near Montpellier, enjoying the good wine of the area )

Here are what my opponent did share with me. Let's claim that this is a report from my secret service:
The soviets are having fun
They have around 60 aps per turn. They build two new corps per turn [:(] and the rest to manage their S.U
Armys are in their correct ranges
They have seen that they could take any fortification even with a 100+ defense [8|]
Now they grind the axis but the nex objective is to try to encircle where possible. They are just training some mechanized forces do to that. [X(]
They start to build ARTY divisions. They find cool to be abble to attack from two hexes [:@]
They thought to bomb my airfields but having red that it was to easy for the soviet, they won't do it (Thanks Traemyn [&o], he is a really cool opponent)

[olivier34]

In the south, Nikolaev has fallen, I am withdrawing...what else could I do...

[olivier34]

results of the soviet attacks (around 250 000 soviets have been part of the assault of Nikolaev !)

[olivier34]

Turn 83 Blizzard, mud in Europe
I have to withdraw again in the south...Where will I be when Spring comes ?
