GC41 - Saper222 (Ger) vs Kamil (Sov) (No Saper222)

[KamilS]

T63 centre (German)


More and more panzers are committed here, but crisis is over.

[KamilS]

T63 south (German)


I am a bit concerned by few mobile units spotted by reckon planes.

[KamilS]

T63 far south (German)


Hmm, I think more troops will have to be sent here.

[KamilS]

T63 far north (Soviet)


Relief forces were defeated. 5 infantry division and 1 tank brigade will be lost.

[KamilS]

T63 center + north (Soviet)


Overall good turn here.

Middle part of the German front is idle so I am able to stretch my forces there and sufficiently reinforced Moscow area.

[KamilS]

T63 far south-west (Soviet)


Not many troops are committed by both sides so little is happening here.

[KamilS]

T63 far south (Soviet)


Great trek to the south.


Bad luck (Tank corps attacks) and limited movement of infantry divisions made my position in far south very precarious.

[KamilS]

T64 far north (German)


Fins accomplished their objective and started withdrawal.

[KamilS]

T64 center (German)


I guess it will be all quiet on the Moscow front from now on.

[KamilS]

T64 far south-west (German)


Nothing new.

[KamilS]

T64 far south-east (German)


Doom is approaching.


Previously encircled units were destroyed - 4 infantry division (31k), but it wasn't all. Saper went for the kill and committed all panzers from area what enable him to form big pocket.

From bad to worse.

[M60A3TTS]

I have to believe that Saper's whole southern campaign is an effort to do something along historical lines, in which case good for him.

The cost though may be failing to take Moscow.

Definitely a good game here.

[KamilS]

T64 far north (Soviet)


I am withdrawing unnecessary units.

[KamilS]

T64 center (Soviet)


I am patiently waiting here.

[KamilS]

T64 far south-west (Soviet)


I had to evacuate my north-west "outpost".

[KamilS]

T64 far south-east (Soviet)


Moving tanks from Stalingrad area was crucial. I managed to buy a bit of time, hopefully enough to assemble proper relief force.

[KamilS]

T65 far south-east (German)


No action in north and center (only 1 attack in Moscow area), but situation in the south continue to be intense.


Not surprisingly pocket was resealed. Unfortunately Saper managed to herd one tank corps in. To make things even worse he raided rail line towards north-east. My options are greatly restricted now.

[Schmart]

Is there anything you can do to threaten his own rear by driving towards Voroshilovsk? If nothing else, it may distract him and buy you enough time to form a more solid defense on the eastern/Grozny side.

[Flaviusx]

Kamil, once an Axis plunge into the Caucuses is in play, you have to fall back to the mountains and the Terek river, you cannot defend forward of this. It's essential to fall back early and fast and rush stuff down there before the rail line gets cut. I should have said something earlier, now it is too late.

If I do it he will punish me thanks to high mobility of German panzers.

Yes, it is. Without proper units density I stand no chance in clear terrain.


I once again underestimated my opponent and this is the price.
