What do I do moment

strategy session.

Besides considering summer O, I am spread out thin in spots. North Pskov, west of Kursk.

I continue to withdraw select armor and put on refit.

I think saving most of german armaments for spring refit is best move. Do not refit before or during blizzard .
In march and april I will also start refit on infantry going from 60% up to 90% for winning units.

t37 OPERATION BLIZZARD SURROUND

Post by BrianG »

We launch blizzard offensive as we fear Russians will plan for first snow attack. Thus using art of surprise.

By doing in blizzard Russian counter moves will be limited due to MP's

Starts off with a very nice Cav shatter

I move in tanks and report that front line units think they have a good pocket.

well at least winter is almost over....think the loss of 2 motorized and the couple infantry formations is going to hurt abit in 1942 as those units will still be worthless CV wise for quite awhile not to mention the permanent losses.

A word of warning.

If you are not careful with the fatigue rating of your fighters, HardLuck will abuse them again and again until there are none left...

I think your sentence should be past tense.


I am already low in fighters. Some groups have no planes to swap into. Some 40 groups are down to 6 or 7. I might have another fighter report soon.


This will end up being a bad issue for me and so lopsided that it could tilt the future course of events. 1943 issue.

If needed you can swap fighters in your group to prior version. It's better to have 40 Bf109B than 0 Bf109G

1942 is will be interesting[;)]
