the august 24the numbers
84 inf Div
33 Inf Corps
2 mobil div
4 armor div
18 armor corps
4 para
 
last week we had 111 inf div
we also lost hte para droped near Pskov and one armor that actually could not run as fast as the enemy near Kiev
 
The situation remains that the enemy has 30 plus point panzers that are unstoppable

these are the start of the turn numbers before reinforcements

[freeboy]

The enemy fumbles around, like a blindwild man killing insects.. they stumble up to a pile of my troops, turn on the death rays and Poof, up in smoke.. But the enemy has run out of infantry to cover his great gains.. and the units attacking
Smolensk, rather than occupyingit.. have been isolated and an armor korps, after being isolated for weeks and continuing to attack, fell to a lowly strength to, down from the twenties.. in one turn, and was surrounded and inialated...
Kursk is attacked.. in the South the enemy blew through my first wave of defenses.. and is neariong Rostov...
In the North I actually saw the uber panzers attack a corp.. and the corp retreated, a huge victory!!!

[freeboy]

the enemy slowly grinds away..
We get a one time?? bump of 500 pp as moscow its threatened..
I have taken to calling this season the bowling ball paradime, He rolls his tanks, I set up a new round of infantry.. the key is to take some ground back where he cannot fill in the line.. and fortunatley this is against hteai, he did not move up from Tallin to reinforce the three arm Korps attacking Lenn, they where surrounded and slowed down... likewise he lost a armored Korp in Smolensk, allowed it to become too isolatred.. Its the end of December 41
He over ran Rostov.. Threatened Voreshnov?? Overe ran, finally, Smolensk Bryank.. Still playing rats and dogs... but my corps are at level two for Army level, level two for infantry and a solid 3 4 or 5... so even the frozen corps slow him down
The issue remains what to do about the uber panzsers!!!
we will see if I can stop the slow creaping forward toward Moscow... He is now just shoing signs of winter affecting his infantry, and the 100 plus infantry I built with the 500 pp bump when moscow was threatened saved my butt

[freeboy]

well, the ai lost another uber panzer geting it surrounded.. I attacked it with 8 air units and 5 tank corps.. it was at 15 and surrendered.. elsewhere things are grimm, Savastopole, nearly relieved m, gave in to a seige and surrendered, Rostov was over run in strength.. Vorshnev over run.. surronded.. Lenn is a killing field and the enemy seems to pound my troops into dust..
 
It is feb 1st 42, I keep awaiting Blizzrd weather.. seems it does not exist as a seperate weather.. that could be ammended! help me US, send me aid or I am dead.. Moscow is only alive due to incompetenet ai attacking in dribs and drabs elsewhere

sorry no pix this update
Its march 1st.. no mud yet.. the nasties over run Rostov again, this time with a vengence and strong armored column heading south..
Moscow remains the ilusive bait.. another armored korps german, gets isolated and dies...
Lenningrad front is slowly edging in the wrong direction.. he now seems to feild.. that is the ai nazi regime, an impressive combined arms army.. although much of his strength remains behind the front, my one hope.. If I can upgrade quality and continue to roll out more corps than he kills therre is a chance I can sin.. but its tough, there are no reserve pp to aid the rebuilding of air or armor units

[freeboy]

march 22 USA weclares war on Germany.. Tripoli falls to Brits.. well if Italy can be knocked out and France invaded, may take some of the heat of us..
Still no sign of Lend lease .. please help us our notes cry to the US

[freeboy]

the outer rings of both Moscow and Lenn are pierced and enemy can attack directly.. this is tense and I think the end, unless drastic reserves come via event.. is near

[freeboy]

orel is surrounded withoug hope of aid

[freeboy]

orel is gone.. BUT I am at level three infantry.. my general level, what is that called, is still too low, but level three gives me some more punch in the inf and they are all I can afford..
Saw a 40 plus upk! seriously wonkers

[freeboy]

My fortresses are starting to crumbele.. level three inf does nothing as UPK target my cities.. zap zap zap and there goes Lenningrad..
Stallingrad is threatened Moscow will fall soon

[freeboy]

The date is April 24... the only thing that has slowed them down is feeding them hundreds of infantry, but they grow stronger !
