No drama I just missed the first turn of the game and the guys on the ground are in the shet, so its all good but going forward I have much need of AP as others.

Air is for the most part in reserve minus recon. I will be focusing with my AP on making Moscow Air Command a force to be recond with over the coming turns. I will be transferring both PVO air corps to the moscow air command army HQ. I will be fleshing out the 3 HQ's with AA Regiments, and the best leaders available along with all the modern fighters. The axis will regret coming within 5 hexes of the Moscow air command HQ's / Airfields. I have one request if you can get my LI2 factory out complete as its are only air transport units would be appreciated but if rail only allows for just one pip that is fine.

The enemy has broken out of the Piepus swamps and moved north towards Narva. This places them north and east of my main force around Pskov. There is apparently a thin screen of enemy infantry to the west of my positions around and south of Pskov, none have come into contact yet. Judging from the high supply level and movement factors reported for these units, they appear to have done an HQBU turn before last. I intend to move most of my forces off the Pskov line in order to confront the enemy's armored forces southwest of the Luga, leaving a screen to forestall the advance of the enemy's infantry. I will send reinforcements to bolster the Luga line, hoping to hold it for at least a turn or two. I'd like a rifle corps or so to rail in to add to that effort.

There are no friendly forces in front of the enemy's salient to the north of Vitebsk and I do not have much to put there. I'd like permission to take 69th rifle corps and 31st Army from STAVKA and try to improvise a defensive line between Vitebsk and Velikie Luki to prevent the large armored forces that I can see in that area from moving unobstructed through Rzhev to Moscow. I appreciate that supplies may be an obstacle for them but we have no certainty that they haven't done an HQBU for that army. I certainly would have in their shoes. Capturing Moscow in July would have to be a German wet dream.

It would be nice if 69th Rifle Corps had a better general though this is not truly crucial as I intend to assign the corps to 31st Army under the very competent General Vasilievsky.

All rail moves should be used to ship out all industry in leningrad and Vsevolzhsky. P1 should be all Vehicle, then armaments then HI and 1 pip/unit of kv1. Troop rail movement should be suspended until our industry is safe. Just my 2 cents either way I gladly will follow orders and support you all as best as I can.

[thedoctorking]

I'm not planning to rail anybody except maybe a couple of divisions to get them up to the southeastern end of the Luga line. I think that my 22nd Army, 31st Army (if it can be made available to me) and 97th Corps guys ought to be able to reach defensible positions between Velikie Luki and Vitebsk without railing. If some of my units can't make it out, I will use a few AP to trade units, giving a division from 22nd (like the guy in the salient near Vitebsk) to the nearest Western Front army and taking one of the divisions farther south for 22nd.

I'm not planning to use any AP except maybe 4 or so to change leaders of the 97th corps if I can.

Central Front is the front that is currently holding the best. We have significantly slowed down the enemy panzers and are more or less in control - for now.

The enemy has only crossed the Dnepr in the swamp northeast of Zlobin with SS Das Reich, but this creates a beachhead that the Germans will exploit. The Pronya river will thus become our new stopgap line. Meanwhile, Mogilev has fallen in front of overwhelming forces but they have not crossed the Dnepr there yet. Orsha is still holding.

In the Northern part of Central Front, the enemy has decided to go through the slower route by going around the Vitebsk line into the woods and swamps between Velikiye Luki and Vitebsk, threatening our rear. We will have to retreat the wall along a defensive line by Demidov and Smolensk, and extend it somewhat in the Northern sector inside rough, swampy, and wooden terrain there. This ground must not be let free to the Fascists.

Meanwhile, reinforcements will be railed to create a new line along the Upper Dvina, plus a reserve line in front of Rhzev if practicable.

So Drakken, where is the dividing line between Central and Northern sectors? I was assuming that north of Vitebsk was my department, which was why I was asking for the 31st Army and 69th Rifle Corps to fill that gap. If you are going to do it, perhaps I should move the 22nd Army HQ north of Velikie Luki and transfer its divisions south of there to your command. That will take up 4 or 5 AP.

The Parachute corp in and around Velikie Luki will be pulled back to screen/zoc Rzhev. Unless supreme command orders me to sacrifice it in defense of Velikie Luki. [&o]

Very old article, but has some good subjective information that is still applicable.

I am very, very, very busy these next two weeks, I can barely scrap some time to do my Central Front this turn. All my PBEMs are on break.

Since psych0 has done the evacuation last turn, I delegate to him the privilege of pressing the End Turn button this turn.
