bad psot

[BrianG]

I push back , again, the spear point closet to my rr supply line

[BrianG]

They can see the Ural mountains from here

[BrianG]

I ahev an itch to attack in this area. It seems German armor has headed west. I wonder how deep german lines are around here.

[BrianG]

Penza

A 6 division attack defeats Model infantry at the gates of Penza

[BrianG]

More attacks to keep area north of Penza clear of Germans.

[BrianG]

I retreat tanks north of penza back to fort area.

Here I launch another major attack south of Moscow to help keep lines open.

Tough battle

[BrianG]

Far east final positions. I am moving some troops west but intend to probe this area for any weakness..

[BrianG]

I cut off ss Viking division and demand their surrender.

[:D]

[BrianG]

Final Lower Moscow.

I think I have the situation in control atm.

[BrianG]

snow is now 2 feet deep.

Silly opens trapping an army worth of troops, most from Galitsky's 26th Army

[BrianG]

Nera Moscow. I actually, finally, hold a battle. Here the top battle near Moscow, with low fort value.

It keeps open rr to escaping troops.

Silly does take the 3rd battle below hex. I may be out of the cauldron before he gets the rr.

[BrianG]

My daily attack on the infantry spear point.

[BrianG]

More Moscow counterattacks.

This Freesner German general has been a pain.

Not today though

[BrianG]

West Penza

600 German casualties in a massive Russian attack.

Are they a little wimpy or just the greatest retreaters ever?

[BrianG]

Sensing weakness and thin lines, I surround a German Inf division and attempt to move him one hex ne. I fail but have chance it wont be rescued.

I sent my 2nd tank army back to this area from Penza area where they were moved only 3 turns ago. Will use next turn to exploit.

I expect a small german retreat from this far east area next turn.

I use shell units to hold up the fort levels which are behind the new front line.

[BrianG]

Left side of my "north of Saratov' pincer. His mountain division is on a rough hex and will not be moved unless whole position flanked.

[BrianG]

East positions.

Directive. Continue to pressure until German armor comes back to help.

[BrianG]

Middle area


I accidentally leave a tank corp in position top be captured.

It was, totally, one of those accidental 'it moved by itself' moves.

My guess is his tanks will now head directly north.
(unless he thinks he can still do a large capture of the retreating troops)

[BrianG]

Final Moscow. rr should stay open next turn.

I forgot to take end of 1942 OOB and KIA reports. I have over 8 million lost.
