and here is the defensive cv reduction which goes along with being slaughtered.

I had low grade Russian general.

[BrianG]

Here is german defeat in battle one. near Moscow He will win the second attempt

[BrianG]

Russian Counterattack. Must do!

Both sides get a reserve commitment. And Zhukov is in the area.

[BrianG]

Cheap win for My top tank army. I want to let him know I have strength here.

Not sure why. He seems to be hesitant that I may do tank corp suicides. GOOD!

Those attacks will now be for only truly special occasions

[BrianG]

No German pressure forward on East front.

[BrianG]

Penza area. No real changes. My better troops are here and getting better cv's.

Its been hard to reinforce these units. So many others need major help and I need to build a solid enough army./

[BrianG]

The few hexes below Moscow will be contested till mud.

I have shifted some strength north of Moscow to build up those lines.

I have no leeway to change Generals at this time. Most AP are going for Infantry Corp Builds.

My truck numbers better lately as most bombers now back in reserve. My whole aircorp is basically a mess.

I have now 10 I-153 fighters in reserve(that many automatics reverted backwards).
I wait for conversion back to better frames.

Also my tank corp are not converting fast enough to Guards even though some have very nice win loss records. (Picture of them next week)

[BrianG]

91 run away[:@]

All this time I maintain the lines and poof, one attack and best move is retreat.

Hopefully this is a normal Silly offensive and capture the units is now main German goal.

The small solution.[:-]

Anyhow another Army of troops captured. Crap!

[BrianG]

And Finland gets border relief.

Not sure how i plan to D up this Northern flank.

I may hold Fin line with returning shell divisions. I also may try and hold the rr line which goes West.
It would be a very tempting target for the Germans. I may have to take the risk.

If he does not attack me out of this rr line west his north flank will be thin if/and/or he moves his tanks south.

To be honest, you did a poor job here. You should have been farming wins with tank brigades during first blizzard and been in a position to have 8-9 guards tank corps at the start of the summer of '42 which is when you need them, not now. The opportunities were many, with any number of low strength Axis units waiting to be attacked by one or more of your tank brigades. Lesson learned for next time.

Ive had very few of those opportunities. Silly has kept his troops very tight and his tank have been very well placed when used.

We are just completing mud to first clear turn. I've made another mistake worse than poor farming.

[BrianG]

92 open north

not too bad

[BrianG]

my one spot counterattack

[BrianG]

Major Moscow battle oob lineup

[BrianG]

And victory.

which goes with our new slogan.

43 and victory!

[BrianG]

My tank corp oob a turn before mud.

A few should upgrade. But when.



Stalin goes waaaaa!

[BrianG]

North final. More retreat. Hopefully wont follow hard.,

[BrianG]

final Moscow. 2 key hexes are mine for now but with screening division force. One more snow left

[BrianG]

South end 92/ one more snow

[BrianG]

North open. Mud next so its containable.
