BrianG v. HYLA (no hard luck)

[BrianG]

I finally gather forces to remove this thorn. Tallinn port

line up

[BrianG]

And a very nice rout into abandoned Russian space just north of Pskov.

Russian have also retreated here to better terrain and less frontage.

Also makes my frontage smaller which aides me.

[BrianG]

Leningrad in 42'

New slogan

I will then rout these newly trapped Russians

[BrianG]

I'm leaving open my options about which route to take to capture Leningrad in 42'

Which I feel would be amazing but very difficult


First I need to pinch in and get closer. Each nice spring week I will hit hard and try to get closer.

HYLA has to decide to leave good troops here and defend, including new inf corp and cav corp, leaving him less of those elsewhere.
or to sacrifice and slow my moves to surround Leningrad. Perhaps it will hold being surrounded.

By summer i need this area cleaned up and the armor shipped south and middle.

[BrianG]

It would be good to be near the river before mud

[BrianG]

Bad German loss against barely dug in Russian infantry divisions.

they must have had the whip out or promise of extra rations.(pick your choice)

[BrianG]

Probe attack on east face. I want to keep him thinking I may attack this way again as I tried in 41'

[BrianG]

down south near Stalino

[BrianG]

clearly the Russians wanted to stop this hasty attack. The throw in their best reserves

[BrianG]

south

and battles

[BrianG]

Kursk final

I must show interest in this area, even though my summer plans are not determined.

[BrianG]

easy snow battles to pump up morale

[BrianG]

north final

Hyla is clearly training his best troops as all I see are the 2nd and 3rd tier units

[BrianG]

this turn kia report

[BrianG]

Very heavy German attack to start the last snow March

w good air support

[BrianG]

then a left punch pressing up the clear terrain near the lake. This was versus a swamp of course.

[BrianG]

I retake VV.

the nice side of the river for future operations.

[BrianG]

down south I take the middle city hex near Stalino. This should force a much larger Russian retreat

[BrianG]

I push in tanks and get a lucky hasty win

[BrianG]

Final South.

next should be russian last snow move then April mud
