BrianG V Sillyflower (open for discussion)

[BrianG]

final Moscow

will keep up pressure north Moscow.

at some point will attack south Moscow but that will be surprise in future.

[BrianG]

German winnings attack are starting to cause more German casualties than Russian side.

[BrianG]

German moves.

His attack actually caused more German than Russian casualties.

And I found Model and I corp

[BrianG]

My planned attack North of Moscow.

Silly has been leaving open many of the hexes he counterattacks.

I am using the extra space to get more tanks into battles.

[BrianG]

For some reason the I corp HQ was stationed in this hex which I attacked as the rivers are now frozen.

Say bye bye Model!

I squeeze in units and have now cut off the 3rd German mountain division. No mountains here boys[:)]

[BrianG]

far right == Saratov == this attack did not go well

[BrianG]

sensing opportunity, I attack near my 20 km prior week break thru.

[BrianG]

I ran into a rough hex with 2 Rum and 1 German division. Just further south is 2 germans panzer divisions. They cannot be budged.

So I do this attack which caused 2 HQ's to rout.

I had moved a tank corp past this German hex before the battle so that the retreat went east and not south. This also caused a HQ rout.

that makes 3.

[BrianG]

I repeat the maneuver to steer this German units north and not south

[BrianG]

Leaving this possibility.

And dreams of Stalingrad dancing in my head.

[BrianG]

I decide to turn left toward Saratov and attempt to cut off all these German units.

From both sides I do 4 or 5 hasty attacks but the German 7-9 would not budge.

[BrianG]

so I attack further left forcing Silly to send some tanks left as well to meet this local cut off attempt.

The retreat losses seem low here.

[BrianG]

Final Tambov area

[BrianG]

final Moscow up to VV area

[BrianG]

And Stalingrad.

Oh I meant Saratov.

all the phantom units south of here are routed HQ's

[EwaldvonKleist]

Thats quite allot of penetrations, it looks like there is some steam in your offensive, bot on the other hands the moves look risky. Lets hope that sillyflower can't turn this into a desaster.

He has a few things to consider. we are in blizzard so mp is more and his tanks seem to be all in the front line.

He has 3 separate groups to save. And his tanks will need to move far to counterattack.

Also his troops north of Saratov will not have hq range next turn.

[BrianG]

One of us is caught in the rip tide.

This shows the key German battle of the turn.

[BrianG]

Axis turn kia casualty list

[Stelteck]

902 tanks destroyed in battle ?
Could we have a screen of soviet tanks looses type ?

It is funny you still killed some Pz38 . And the germans used T-60 which is really a death trap.
