I tried one bombing raid on Polesti. My guys did not even want to fly.

What is the best Russian bomber for these long raids?

Probably IL-4

if you have any, the B-25s carry a better bombload as does the Pe-8 .. but the Pe-8s are real truck and supply hogs

Clap v Malinosky.

Really

Well, your basic odds were less than 1:2 so if anything it's surprising the 2nd attack succeeded unless you did a much bigger attack

[BrianG]

I have found that many units in supply are now shattering in lei of retreat.

Since the last beta. The beta started around these turns.

[BrianG]

Under the new beta. Russian air corp comes out and does damage albeit in a battle loss.

[BrianG]

Under new beta interdiction rates are way higher.

[BrianG]

I think their air is slowly turning russian

[BrianG]

the german half of turn 48

[BrianG]

Question. Should this Russian unit be shattering. Before action cv was 250 ish?

Pelton finally took the hex

[BrianG]

German tank forces attack south and cut off three units and threatened forward flank position

[BrianG]

#1 Harpe v Fedyuninsky

[BrianG]

#2

Kempf v. Ermenko

[BrianG]

#3

750 tanks

Schmidt v. Roskonkowsky

Trying to rescue trapped units and hurt his tanks

[BrianG]

#4

110 tanks

Vetinghuff v Bobkin

Not sure if the trapped units were saved. A little anticlimactic.

[BrianG]

Protecting river line

[BrianG]

Heavy german bomber losses. Airsupply losses?

[BrianG]

Here my flank troops end up being cut off with Germany committing all his armor. I think.

Thus the air supply bomber casualties explained

[gingerbread]

You might want to look at Loki vs Vigabrand for possible consequences of defending this far forward in summer '42. It's one of those options labeled: Not really recommended.

[BrianG]

At least I now know where his tanks are, thus other sectors can continue attacking.

Also, this is the strongest Russian army I have ever had and at points I can counterattack with good localized power.

German army has not had it easy here.

What shall I do now was the question.

and ......

[BrianG]

I attacked with good Cav and open up a supply route near south part of the pocket.

His tanks now have long MP.

[BrianG]

Then I study the situation.

I start attacking the area about 6,7 hexes east of Kursk and low and behold we find......

And open avenue to go deep behind lines, attack airbases and maybe....

This was a key battle to opening the large hole.

His Hq was OKH. What's up with that. Kluge is no good in the field.
