brianG v tyronec anatomy of disaster all welcome

[BrianG]

I have just repeated turn 10 pictures.

Battle fatigue.

I shall now proceed to turn 11.

CV7500 crimea

[BrianG]

somehow Ty did not seal the pocket. I assume maybe a trap for me to keep others units in close so he can capture them next turn.

[BrianG]

so with the new rout hq/ surrender rules, my NW hq finally arrives back at the front on turn 11.

I am not sure this is how the game really wants these things to work out. Its random and petty. Its an air commander. I'm sure his has a nice airplane available to fly out of any pocket.

ah and now i have to give them a new air commander as this one stinks.

[BrianG]

its' your weekly Moscow break pocket lineup

[BrianG]

and your weekly frustrating loss.

and another 6 divisions captured.

[BrianG]

north final

I have supply but still need to retreat near VV.

i just don't have a good D line.

mud would help

[BrianG]

final Moscow.

the fist is unmovable and builds up each turn. and train is closer every turn.

[BrianG]

Kharkov final

industry needs to get rr out asap. I may need more than one turn. So some defense for delay is in order.

[BrianG]

stalino final

after a few turns of no tank movement, i assume his tanks are fueled up. He has 2 corp worth over here, and my d line is not great


I fall back.

[BrianG]

Crimea

I add art support to the fort unit.
At least for one turn, next turn i will delete the fort and ship in regular unit.

[BrianG]

This was the rare big defensive stand near Moscow.

So rare i had to show.

[BrianG]

My fort and attach su's put up a good battle.

so many engineer though for Germans.

Over kill.

[BrianG]

Moscow issue

so here i am trying to defend Moscow and what do i find unmovable on a key hex.

MOSCOW MD hq. it becomes movable turn 12 which by then when its too late!

[BrianG]

SO

Port connection is open, yet i cannot disband the fort?

good, bad, bug, indifferent?

[BrianG]

Thanks to Tyronec having fun attacking that Oranienbaum Fort hex, my 2 AA units turn Guards?

Sweet i will send them to Stalin


I will of course lose one of them to surrender elsewhere later in the war

[BrianG]

Near Leningrad, i rescue 1 hex. Only for delay of death.

then i'm thinking:

Its turn 11 and his tanks are still up near Leningrad.

I have hope.

and look for rain and mud.

[BrianG]

week 12 spear tip counter attack lineup.

[BrianG]

ah

it was attack to cut off the tip.

And the tip will be isolated for 1 turn.

[BrianG]

Still i could not forgo the chance to rout the tip and really save a turn before Moscow's gate. 5 sided attack.

Was this difficult attack a game changing loss?

[BrianG]

final Moscow

I know he is not using all his tanks each turn. He will have at least one or 2 ready at very good mp for the next turn thus a major worry each turn.
