At this point should you just pull those units back to the Volga? There really isn't anything to defend anymore, and I guess the far South has to fend for itself - maybe you can use naval transport from Astrakhan to send additional units once you fall back?

It is last turn of summer, so I will make some attacks and withdraw during mud.

I suspect all this movement of your units in the southeast, trying to put pressure on his flanks, causes lots of fatigue for your forward units; even if the Axis are tired your CV takes a hit for those units moving up.

It would be nice to get an update on this game as it sounds really interesting and developps in a surprising way. I would really like to see how the Soviets can stabilize the situation an try to get on track.

I will try to do it today.

[KamilS]

T69 far north (Soviet)


Last turn of summer, so I will show how front-line starting with far north.


Fins haven't undertaken any actions since their successful offensive undertaken several turns ago.

[KamilS]

T69 north (Soviet)


No action here apart from one half-hearted attack in the north.

[KamilS]

T69 center (Soviet)


I am so weak, that I can launch only 3 attacks, so few even knowing Saper won't be able to launch strong counter-attacks next turn I.

[KamilS]

T69 south (Soviet)


A bit of action south of Stalingrad.

[KamilS]

T69 far south-west (Soviet)


I had to reinforce Tbilisi region, to counter threat arising in central Caucasus.

Sukhumi will be evacuated.

[KamilS]

T69 far south-east (Soviet)


Great withdrawal to Volga line started, rest of troops will follow next turn. Weakening Saper's panzers had priority.

[KamilS]

T69 OOB (Soviet)


Situation is worse than it seems, because it is necessary to subtract 55k soldiers from my OOB - encircled cavalry army.

[KamilS]

T70 far south-west (Soviet)


Only one German attack this turn, none undertaken by me.

New units - 2 inf div, 2 cav div


In my stupidity I forgotten to move part of my troops in western Caucasus ...

[veji1]

It looks to me that the divisions anchoring your right wing with Forts level 1 are not anchoring much and you could find yourself with another set of Rifle and tank corps surrounded against the Caspian See if he goes for a short lef hook... Very dangerous.

It is mud now, so nothing dangerous will happen there. At least I hope so.

[KamilS]

T70 far south-east (Soviet)


March towards Astrakhan continues. I ship some of my troops to Makhachkala, unfortunately shipping in Caspian Sea region is very limited.


In the meantime part of cavalry army was destroyed - 2 cav corps and 1 inf div, overall 30k brave lads gone west.

[KamilS]

T71 far south-west (Soviet)


Only one German attack this turn - against encircled formations.


New units - 4 inf div, 1 cav div. Unfortunately I had to spend majority of AP points (New front arrived so I had plenty) on reactivation of tank brigades and creation of tank corps. This is consequence of Sapers's successful summer offensive - I had to create great number of infantry corps to give myself chance of countering his moves. (chance that I have failed to take)



This time I haven't forgotten to move troops in western Caucasus.

[KamilS]

T71 far south-east (Soviet)


More of the same here. Withdrawal in the north, digging trenches in the south.


Remnants of cavalry army were destroyed - 2 cav corps, 1 inf div, overall 26k soldiers.

[KamilS]

T72 far south (Soviet)


No attacks.


New units - 1 inf div, 1 cav div




Steady withdrawal north.

[KamilS]

T72 western Caucasus (Soviet)


I try to created anything that resemble defensive line, but there are not many troops at hand.

[KamilS]

T72 eastern Caucasus (Soviet)


This positions do not look secure at all.
