Field Marshal von Fogger vs Comrade Marshal Fulkerson

Another Bug to be fixed in the master copy. The 250 Blue div does not have any infantry only the spare equipment slots

If I recall correctly that division was made up by Spanish soldiers. So I'm guessing that there's an equipment called Spanish squads or
something like that.

[fogger]

Yes I just looked in the equipment editor and there are Spanish squads there

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the northern part of the front lines in T22

[larryfulkerson]

Here is the front lines a little bit south of the one above. This part of the front lines seems stable so far. John is still moving units up
to contact.

[larryfulkerson]

This is the south part of the front lines. John is pressing to get across the river in force.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's a closeup of the area west of Leningrad where John is breaking through my lines.

[larryfulkerson]

This is the area just to the east of Leningrad and here's where John and I are in serious negotiations for the river crossings. John is
pushing my guys around and is brushing past my roadblocks.

[Telumar]

Let him come. The Luga river has still to be crossed. And then there's the Leningrad outer fortifications. Sell it as expensive as possible.

I would recommend to strengthen the Kingisepp area first. He shall not cross there, especially as he's still stalled at Pskov.

EDIT: And a bridge bombing campaign in Karelia to further suppress supply of Finish/German forces pushing southward across the river Svir. And, as the Finns lack armor, send some armor up there.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the area just north of Sevastapol and you can see where John is sticking his nose under the flap of my tent and I can tell that he
wants to cross the river there. I'm going to have to see can I rake up some blockers. If not it's no crisis.

All really good ideas. Keep those good ideas flowing and thank you very much. I'm trying to be as annoying as possible and I think I'm
doing a fairly good job. He's making progress but it's slow and plodding. Pskov is stable so far and I'm thinking Leningrad is safe for
another five or six turns at least. I'm fearing that he's going to come at me from the West and East simultaneously. The Finns are
pushing past my roadblocks and I think they may be here ( Leningrad ) in about four turns or so.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the area south of Murmansk and north of Leningrad and you can see how John has wrapped around my defender and is negating
my roadblock. He's going to continue to the east as he can.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the Pskov area. It's relatively stable and so on. There's not a lot of pushing going on in this AO.

Here's how the air war is going right now:

Here's how the air war is going right now:

Wow, the air superiority index is even at 33 each! How did that happen? Is it a one-turn fluke or is it a growing trend in favor of the Soviets?

I've been holding back all those planes that have a readiness of 65% or less and letting them rest. Now there's a lot of planes that are
"ripe" and I've been deploying them into the "field" at those places that need them. And there's been an influx of aircraft reinforcements
that has given the Soviets at least parity in fighters. And it's about time. I'm guessing that the Soviets might just be winning in the air war
and that makes me very happy.

[fogger]

A few good men.
Larry was able to counter attack one of my bridgeheads and push the eng unit back across the river thus leaving 4 regts cut off on the east bank.

[fogger]

During my turn I counter attack back across the river and re-established contact. How ever I was unable to completly surround larry's 2 units. The zoc stopped my units advancing after Larry's units retreated. I had a cmdo unit on an airfield so I dropped them into the vacant hex. The unit split into 3 coy's with 2 in the GTI. I dug them and waited to see what damage Larry would do.

[fogger]

Picture that should have attached to last post

[fogger]

I opened up Larry's turn to see that 1 coy had been able to hold it gound. Now I can reinforce with a couple of Inf div's and in due course destroy the two units. The 4 regts were saved.

[fogger]

I have sent Larry turn 23.
On the southern front Keiv fell this turn. My river crossings at cherkasy linked up and 3 inf div's were destroyed in detail.
