brianG v tyronec anatomy of disaster all welcome

[BrianG]

Big V area

Retreat orders are a week away.

The next line is not close to the front

[BrianG]

final Tambov area.

[BrianG]

North final

Rescue panzer division is spotted.

I am too weak. And the sides of the German salient are weakly held.

[BrianG]

Tula area. Germans lightly push East. This mob is a concern as a break out here could meet up with a lunge from further south.

I need to attend that war games clinic for some tips.

[BrianG]

Stalingrad final.
It will be hot summer 42'.

He can choose any direction to go. West would be best. hehe

[BrianG]

my retreat from the Don

Very uneven and more troops will be lost.

But my plan to lure him deep into the Caucasus has begun.

Unfortunately I was hoping is would have begun 2 months later on.

[BrianG]

The early withdraws, violating a Stalin 'must hold' edict, have found these defensive positions.

Army commanders must have freedom of maneuver.

[BrianG]

My middle retreat. In 2 more turns the retreat should be completed.

Has the retreat been noticed or ignored by the Germans

[BrianG]

German do a mud advance with mech units.

more weak Russian units trapped.

'retreating long distance is not easy in mud'. famous Proverb

[BrianG]

Final south widescreen view.

Its all wide open. German trains will quickly be over the Don.

[BrianG]

Middle retreat.

I've basically completed the Northern half of the retreat. One more turn to get out the rest. train capacity is not great.

[BrianG]

Tula final. German nudge up to the river north of Tula. If he gets over the river, i have issues.

I am assuming he will get over the river.

[BrianG]

North final.

German division still trapped.

but alive and well waiting for a clear turn and rescue.

[BrianG]

sunny skies and a German plunge into the retreat corridor.

Well, they went south of Tambov and had 2 cross 2 rivers.

[BrianG]

Russian air kill leaders.

For you flyboy fans

[BrianG]

This freeze you it to the districts air hq's shows its ill nature here.

I'm now stuck in a position i need to move away from for this S. Urals air hq.

pet peeve! The manual should specifically let you know when these hq's will freeze and unfreeze. And/or it should be mentioned in the troops in out section or in the weekly log.

This might be prebeta .06 which was a beta change very near to this time in the game.

[BrianG]

south moscow

somehow the Russians find 100,000 troops for a large attack win

[BrianG]

Stalingrad open.

[BrianG]

My south Moscow pincer continues. Seems to easy an advance so I am looking for a trap

attack lineup

[BrianG]

and the win.
