104 last mud than summer fun

Post by BrianG »

well here it is. My main line is second row. He wont know until he knocks down the front line.

He does not have all his tanks here and I'm sure none moved last mud. Thus he has a decision. I feel he may wait one turn and try to find weak spot or create weak spot to exploit turn 106.

Or I may get crushed by major breakout.

btw my recon had forgotten to deploy from reserve and I was in the dark for turn 104.

I give up my clear hex(not shown north of Moscow) and continue shifting units north and tank corp is back on rr

I think you had made disastrous deployment here, the big nose of your line are almost certain to be cut off, and all the big corps are going to be lost eventually.
What is the point to hold the 1=86 hex, which is on the tip of the big nose? And to hold it, 10 more corps are cling to the next hexes, the Germany don't need to attack these hexes, it just need to cut them off, that is not difficult at all. There are two clear breaking ways to cut the big nose off, the south Pincer need not more than 7-8 Panzer divs and the north pincer 5-6 Panzer divs ( attack the 1=35 and then make ZOC to ZOC move to attack again).
The line here is certainly too long for your troops to hold. Because of the long line, it is certain that you can't cover all the panzer breaking ways, the only solution was to retreat and shorten the line, you chose the opposite and the result could only be disaster.

I move in unit from west. I will stack 3 high and then split those corp in the far trap to take all spaces away from a bad retreat.
Hopefully I will get good retreat out of pocket.

106 rescue attempt

Post by BrianG »

Here the south attempt.

I try to get close to that hq and tnk alone. I do this by allowing retreat into north german 2 stacks.
Alas, I then find I only have one tank corp capable of reaching the empty hex. thus no attack will be done on that cv 59 hex.

It seems my relief tanks were split north and south of the river. Oh how many rules of war did that violate.

Thus I will attempt to move 2 german ss tank units out of heavy woods to save my cut off lot(at least 8 corp in pocket and my last mountain unit,
