Don't know why you bothered to send those tank bdes into the space, they had no chance.

Chaos is correct, break the 63/X hex, pull those three units back into your lines, and get your cavalry-mechanized forces out of that area and over to the west. You're losing men you can't afford with these soak offs and fighting over useless ground. Time's a wastin... you need to be attacking west of Tambov/Voronezh. Force him to back out of his easternmost positions so you can at least start the process of recovering manpower centers.

they were weak and I did not want any routs to go the wrong direction. Whole things a mess now.

the 63 hex has a 2.7 fort and d cv value around 245

the other has a 1.7 fort and d value of 280 ish

I would like to clean up and regroup.

[BrianG]

first- near Saratov -I eject a german tank division and am one step closer to city

[BrianG]

I do a little recon at Penza and this is the area as we stand. Now I need to figure out how to win one hex.

the cv values shifted

the 80x has fort 1.7 and the middle a fort of 2.7.

I guess the middle wins and shall be the point of war.

[BrianG]

soak off # 2.

defensive cv dropped from 3,000 to 2443.

[BrianG]

attack 4

very small fort reduction

[BrianG]

attack # 6

my first large force attack

[BrianG]

large lineup including troops east of river.

[BrianG]

and more carnage.

no retreat

[BrianG]

This soak off is 6 units all from different armys.

I can launch only 2 more large attack left after this

[BrianG]

My main attack to clear.

Here is lineup.

I am using trapped troops in this attack, 2 rockets divisions and moved some fight planes closer for support

[BrianG]

and temporary supply relief

[BrianG]

here are battles for the hex.

I had to relieve these troops.

[BrianG]

I must have used over 10,000 tanks taking this hex.

Penza final.

[BrianG]

final Moscow area. I will try attack north of Moscow next turn.

[BrianG]

rout and recon

North of Tambov.

[BrianG]
