Unit losses:

OOB.

Hopefully the Corps HQ's will mainly disband over the next 2 weeks and I'll start to sort out the C&C.

Industry moved:

ARM and HI from Nikolaev, ARM from Kirovograd and Yak-6 Fac's from LG.

[Speedysteve]

Start of SU Turn 5 post recon.

Leningrad sector:

[Speedysteve]

Pskov sector: 4 Rifle Div's are cut off but no massive breakthrough.

[Speedysteve]

Smolensk sector:

30 mile Axis advance in the landbridge and Vitebsk is taken.

Mud in the North Soviet Zone as you can see. If I ever hear again that Random Weather always favours the Soviets in 41 I'll refer you to this post. Movement and Fort building will be substantially reduced this week for me.

[Speedysteve]

Gomel:

The heroic stand of 217th Rifle Division (east of Das Reich) continues as they notched up their 3rd victory today preventing any Axis crossing of the Dnepr here.

[Speedysteve]

Kiev Sector:

The Goryn is crossed and Panzers surge east almost encircling Zhitomir. A couple of units are cut off.

[Speedysteve]

South:

A few SEC Rgt's are cut off but nothing else to report:

[Speedysteve]

Leningrad after my moves. No SU attacks. Further units are railed up behind the Luga Line and the initial phases of C&C re-org are started as the Luga units are assigned to 24th and 28th Armies attached to Northern Front.

Once the C&C is sorted Ill assign leaders as well.

[Speedysteve]

Pskov region after SU moves. No SU attacks. A few more units are brought up in 11th Army sector behind the River Pola:

[Speedysteve]

VL region. Few moves here. 22nd Army takes over C&C for the region:

Yuck. Mud in Soviet North on turn 5 is a total waste. Your mud rolls in this game have sucked, they were all mistimed (especially Soviet North,) and now it's all clear weather in the 3 zones until turn 18.

[Speedysteve]

Exactly if I hear anyone say it always favours the SU tell them to talk to me [;)]

[Walloc]

Yadda Yadda Speedy. What did i tell u about luck once back in the days? [:'(]

Now u just need 4 snow in north instead of mud in turn 18-21,

[Speedysteve]

I remember it well Rasmus...I think this was about the time you started giving me a can of 'whupass' [;)]

Smolensk region: The C&C changes can be seen dramatically here as Reserve front takes charge of anything north of Smolensk.

I also counter-attacked 18th Panzer Division that had crossed the Dnepr. 6 x Rifle Div's sent them packing

[Speedysteve]

Kiev Region: I pulled back a bit from Vinnitsa to avoid a large potential easy pocket.

A counter attack by 13th Tank Division NE of Zhitomir against 25th Motorised Div led to catastrohpic losses (200 tanks!)

[Speedysteve]

South: Attacks by 2 x Tank and 1 x Motorised Div forced the Rumanian Panzer Div back. I followed this up with a successful attack by a Cav Div before pulling back again.

Lots of re-org adding forces to armies and attaching them to Southern Front.

Losses:

[Speedysteve]

OOB:

Along with a lot of C&C I also started to replace a couple leaders starting with the Fronts:

Ivan Konev was assigned to Reserve Front.
Filipp Golikov was assigned ot NW Front.

I moved Industry from Krivoi Rog, Kirovograd, Mariupol and the Vehicles from Leningrad
