At it again - vicberg(axis) vs. Larry Larizona55 (Sov)

AGS (north)

My life for a bit more fuel. Couldn't quite close down the rails to Kiev. I'm poised to cut off kiev or to push northeast and possibly link with PZG3 and elements of PZG2. Might be a multiple turn effort. If that happens, it's pretty much game over.

[vicberg]

AGS (South)

Moving on Stalino. This salient has gotten so big that I'm running out of infantry support. Plus I'm on fumes.

My god, but that's a massive pocket.
Either he suspends all factory evac for a turn, and rails everything out of there, or he can expect an unpleasant visit from the NKVD welcoming committee. [:D]

Turn 10

AGN

Larry was able to shoot a cav unit accross and cutoff my 2 northern divisions of PZG4. So, I decided to go all in for the port and cut them off.

[vicberg]

AGC

Formed one pocket and almost an even larger one.

[vicberg]

AGS (North) and AGC.

PZG2 almost links up and forms another large pocket. His rail lines are cut into Kiev. Not shown: Another 6-8 units in and around Kiev have been completely isolated.

[vicberg]

AGS (South)

I could have pocketed the units further south, but instead went for the cities.

[vicberg]

Turn 11

AGN

I was indecisive with PZG4 for turns now. Sending first north, then east, then back up north. Germans can't be indecisive. Next turn, Leningrad should be isolated.

[vicberg]

AGC (North)

Infantry readying for a push on Moscow. Not much in front of me.

[vicberg]

AGC

PZG3 linked with PZG2 to form a massive pocket. PZG 2 linked south of the pocket. I don't envy his position right now. This could be the game. Even if he's able to break it, I have lots of infantry and armor to tighten the noose.

I'm not quite sure what Larry is doing. We don't talk at all about strategy. I have to wonder if he's focused a great deal on railing factories and not worried so much about losing troops.

[vicberg]

AGS (South)

[vicberg]

Deep South

Not forgetting the Crimea this time

[vicberg]

Larry just notified me that he conceeded this game. He couldn't break out of the massive pocket and it was simply too much for him to overcome.
