Axis air war. That is still a part I have not completely figured out yet

T011 Soviet Karelia

This turn is pretty key here .. there is an unlimited Soviet supply in the upper right hand corner of this picture (slightly off map) that when combined with cutting rail to the South .. produces an untenable position. The Finn's are rolling .. better yet I am using up those SU's that simply disband ...

T011 Soviet Centre

Soviet Commander
I've managed to open the pocket and was just short of opening it in two places and isolating two motorized divisions, bit disappointing i couldn't pull it off. Still, three divisions of his pincer are in a slightly poor supply situation and his ammo should be depleted...
Moved airbases closer to the front

Anything short of total success is unacceptable. Next!

The 4th pz Army was headed that way starting turn 11 .. will be in position very soon in a he course of events ..

12 battles in one hex to break in to the pocket of troops surrounded west of Moscow!

This is not going to happen in later version games .. [8|][;)]

It is a welcome addition that there are increasing costs (in terms of MP) to consequential failed attacks in the current game version.

Post to help Beria with a problem that has been sorted - please ignore

T011 Soviet Kursk

Soviet Supreme Commander
8 Infantry Division reinforcement went to the Southern Front, at Voronezh.

[Beria]

T011 Soviet Ukraine

Soviet South Commander
Could I please request some figher aircraft for the south as the vast majority of my bombing missions have to run without any fighter cover. Also, the German will have to do lots and lots of air supply runs, all of which at present run entirely unmolested deep behind my lines to supply his cut off divisions.

Soviet Supreme Commander
+- 200 fighter aircraft were sent in the South.

Soviet South Commander
Sent all available air closer to the fronts, with a reasonable distribution of fighter and bomber aircraft. A large number of fighters were still stuck in the Moscow Air Command airfields as they had already flown miles, so could not be sent anywhere - will dish them out next turn.

T011 Soviet Crimea

[Beria]

T011+ Soviet Strategy

Soviet Supreme Commander
Will probably start thinking about retreating to the Gorky-Yaroslav-Cherepovets line with both Northern and Central Front and maybe have the Southern front take the Rostov-Stalingad defensive line. So prepare for that in the next turn or so.

There was a break in updating this AAR for a while as many new players had joined the game and there has been a lot of excitement. Normally when the turn is with the other side you have the time to update this AAR. But with the turns going so fast there has not been a lot of time in between to do it. However the last few weeks we have been doing the screenshots and writing the text to update this AAR to where the game is now. The players who have not been here from the beginning are now keen to get the AAR closer to the current turn. And am glad to say have also been helping to write up the old turns. So expect to see some of the other players from the Soviet team also posting.

T001-T011 Axis Recap

In the first eleven turns Axis forces have not only captured the usual large haul of forces from turn 1 pockets, but almost the entire Soviet centre in several pocket around Smolensk and most of the industry in the Donbass and Kharkov. In the North Leningrad has been cut off by land and by port bombing has also cut them off by sea leaving the forces in Leningrad isolated much to the surprise of our opponents. Generals Model and Hell lead the infantry forces standing ready for the final assault on Leningrad.

Axis Ground Commander
Leningrad is the very Model of Hell.

New pockets have been created west of Moscow and in a large part of the south near Poltava.

T012 Soviet Turn from Axis perspective

When turn 12 comes back to the Axis team we see what the Soviet side did in turn 11. They had broken all of the pockets (except Lenigrad). Near Poltava they broke in in three places isolating our own units. To the west of Moscow they broke in by 12 battle reports in one hex. Most were hopeless odds "soaking" attacks which nevertheless depleted the ammunition of the defenders before the final big successful attack came. Our guys just ran out of ammo killing the enemy! Even after the next Axis logistics phase the defending division only had 4% ammunition left.

South Axis Commander:
They got 1 mig each out [of Moscow] @ Nizhny Tagil
Those will take ages to repair
