T4, Front Lines
This is what it looks like so far. I've almost cleared out the mountanious areas down south of Soviet troops and now my troops can race to the SE to try to get to the
Crimea before it's fortified in any way. Up north I'm assaulting the Soviet defenders in the port city of
Riga. Just SE of Riga I have used engineers to leap across the river and race to the NE. I'm trying to get to
Pskov before most of the Soviet units can get there so I can trap them on the east side of the
Dneper River. I'd like to try the left hook this time, see if I can't isolate
Leningrad from further reinforcements, make it easier to take down in the long run.
Minsk
My troopers are just now starting to curl around the city of
Minsk to surround it and cut if off any external supply source. That way all the equipment that is destroyed won't make it into the Soviet equipment pools. Every little bit helps. I'm hoping to be able to take the city hex by
T5. The next goal will be
Smolensk.
Kiev
My troops down south are pressing toward
Kiev with the goal of destroying as many Soviet units as possible. I've been resting the Romanian planes at
Ploesti but I've moved
OKH to
Warsaw to encourage the resting planes. I've also shipped in three more
HQ units to help encourage the planes that OKH can't quite reach. I anticipate a lot of resting planes over the course of the next few turns. I have
eleven bombers resting at Warsaw currently. There's
room for 12. I'm obviously in need of more aircraft resting areas with a dedicated HQ unit. I forsee times when almost all the planes are resting. I'm going to establish at least
four aircraft resting cities for now and then build more as they are needed. I anticipate using
Minsk as one of them.
