BrianG V Pelton round 2 ( PELTON OK ZONE)

[BrianG]

This sequence shows my best breakthrough for many turns.

[BrianG]

I reach empty terrain

[BrianG]

Very heavy Zuchov(oops not really Zuchov) attack on key position

[BrianG]

another defensive block removed

[BrianG]

I thought the break thru would end here with this loss.

[BrianG]

I find reinforcements.

[BrianG]

3 hex wide breakout.

Nice.

[BrianG]

I attack his tanks forcing them over river. But they are now in better shape to help contain breakout.

[BrianG]

final positions. I am over river toward Minsk

[sillyflower]

nicely done

[chaos45]

puts him in a tough spot for sure but mud isnt that far away....so if he can patch it he can stall.

[Manstein63]

Brian are you able to post some pictures that show your defensive CV's rather than remaining movement as it would be interesting to compare both Axis & Soviet defensive CV's

german kia report.

22,000 german kia

[BrianG]

German counter moves.

If I had known I would get such a nice breakthrough I would have had all my tanks here.

Pelton does nice job in pinching the threat and then sets up D in front of river allowing time to build forts.

And mud is near
