[Ketza]

[Ketza]

Important armies. Holding the bottleneck:

[Ketza]

Western front big hammer:

[Ketza]

Southwestern front mountain men:

[SigUp]

Uh, you have completely taken the wind out of his sails...

[Ketza]

6 end north

[Ketza]

6 end center Moved 16th army from the landbridge to back up line near mogilev

[Ketza]

6 end south

[Ketza]

turn 6 attacks in south. The south is more fluid then usual thanks to the extra oomph from no Lvow pocket. I try to pick off a Panzer division every turn and rout it.

[Ketza]

I didn't save some of my turn 7 screenies but here is what I have. Production:

[Ketza]

Popped another Panzer division in the south:

[Ketza]

In the south I gave up the small pocket he created. I did use cav units to flip as many hexes as possible to slow him down. My lines on both sides of the river are mainly level 2 forts. His tempo is way off so I am feeling pretty good about the south in general.

[Ketza]

In the center I am a little nervous about this Panzer ball. We will see! He made no real progress in the north.

[Ketza]

Turn 8 north end

[Ketza]

turn 8 holds in the north - very tough fighting in the north along the bottleneck. Major mistake on his part trying this route. Leningrad will be safe this game.

[Ketza]

Turn 8 end battles. Starting to see a trend of more and more holds across the front.

[Ketza]

He manages a pocket in the middle I was able to break. This is going to be a running pocket battle for a few turns. The goal will be to keep it alive a few turns to slow him down.

[Ketza]

Turn 8 end center - pocket opened and a Panzer division routed. Some of the better divisions made it out. In the process his spearhead was cut off and mauled.

[Ketza]

Turn 8 end south - His Panzers are following the path of least resistance.

[Ketza]

turn 9 end north - once again he follows the path of least resistance angling away from the objective.
