ZA RODINU! (Kamil vs Mike) March 1943!

[Peltonx]

Good game.

After 1.06.11 as can be seen in allot of AAR's including this one, its possible to hold Leningrad vs some of the best GHC players + its impossible to take Moscow. Even in the south its not easy to take Stalino.

Based on the current AAR's all things being equal, Leningrad/Moscow and Rostov can be held and Berlin falling in late 44 is again the norm, all things being equal.

Hoooper is doing the standard who cares about the south and loading up from Tula north. The south is a none factor area now for SHC.

I say your in for a really bad blizzard, a poor 42, and Berlin burning in late 44 - unless you can turn things around the next 9 turns Kamil.

[Peltonx]

Russian losses will be under 2.7 million by Dec and SHC OOB will be over 5 million.

After 1.06.11 in most games the losses are in the 2.5-2.8 million range ALLOT lower then before that 3.2 to 3.5. A huge difference of a million men in many cases.

[Peltonx]

Game is very stactic now after turn 7 in most cases other then in the south, which has become nothing more then flipping hexes after turn 7

[KamilS]

I do not intend to hijack Mike's AAR, but assuming, that it will be while before next burst of his activity I decided to post one more screen-shot to sharpen appetites.



T9 centre/south (German)


For the first time I have spotted weakness in Soviet defences. Although execution of my manoeuvre was far from perfect and pocket will be probably broken developments in Sumy - Kursk area should put Mike on a back foot for turn or two.

In fact, the future is not as rosy as it might seem after the eighth turn. Problems started at ninth turn and then have not stopped. Leningrad area is the only front which make me cautiously optimistic.

T9 14.08.1941 Western front. Kamil unsuccessfully tried to attack Vyazma line. Half of 34th Army in pocket.

[Mike29]

T9 14.08.1941 "Sumy pocket". Thanks God I moved all elite units of 18th Army to Western front one turn before. Anyway - 100 000 guys. I must say I expected direction of assault but so many MP of his tanks. Now South-Western front ceased to exist. Commanders are executed, personal files placed to NKVD archive. But heroic units of 18th Army continue their fight on other fronts.

This is what I always wanted to do and what I always most feared - it is now clear that PG1 turns to Moscow. God save and protect Holy Russia!
