And the Resource Status for Soviet Turn 100

Situation At the end of Turn 100 in the Moscow Area.

The Soviet Garrison left behind in Moscow is completely surrounded. The garrison has been reassured by Stavka that the Red Air Force will keep them supplied while the Soviet Army prepares to launch a massive summer offensive in the area to break the encirclement. Surrender is not an option.

Meanwhile the Soviet Offensive continues North of Rostov, where summer has arrived early and the weather is clear.

It looks like your units are being starved of supplies. I would recommend reducing reserved rail and turning off some factory production of vehicle/plane types where your stockpile is quite high. For instance, I am finding that T-34 production is a big draw on supply. You might want to evacuate a few of those factories in order to turn down production on them. IL-2s are likely another big draw and you likely have more than enough stockpiled to last a while. Armament factories could also be moved to reduce supply usage. You have more than 1 million armament points in reserve, more than enough to last a while.

Agree. I reduced the reserved rail from 10% to 7% and moved some of the airplane factories (turn 104). Instead of moving armament factories might it be better to reduce the production level of armaments to say 75% from 100% (which can be quickly reversed if the need arises)?

Start of turn 101 West of Yaroslavl. New Panzer attack supported by the SS Panzer Corps, but no breakthrough.

The Moscow garrison is isolated, 60 miles from the nearest Soviet units.

End of turn West of Yaroslavl, avoiding an encirclement.

The Soviet offensive continues east of Tula.

Quiet turn in the Moscow area, as the weather is mud in the North Soviet Weather Zone on turn 102. End of turn.

Clear weather in the Central and South Soviet weather zones, the Soviet offensive continues in the Rostov area.

The problem with changing the percentage on armaments is the AP cost. Evacuation costs nothing. If you evacuate and entire factory, it starts out only 50% damaged and will fully repair in 17 turns.

Start of turn in the Moscow area. The Soviet Air Force attempts to keep the isolated Moscow garrison supplied. The garrison is holding on, but the future is grim.

The Soviet Army continues its offensive towards Tula.

Grognard1812 · Post by **Grognard1812** » Thu Apr 29, 2021 12:19 am

The Soviet Army has reached the gates of Voronezh - the recapture of Voronezh is just a matter of time.

Start of turn in the Moscow area - the isolated Soviet garrison holds out against massed German infantry attacks.

GT 105, end of turn. The Soviet offensive continues West of Rostov, Stavka has ordered the recapture of Stalino.

Start of Turn 106, Moscow area. The isolated Moscow garrison continues to defend against overwhelming German infantry attacks, the Northern city hex of Moscow was lost this turn to the German Army.

Grognard1812 · Post by **Grognard1812** » Tue May 04, 2021 9:30 pm

The surrounded Moscow garrison has been reduced to just one hex. The future is very grim for the Soviet units holding out in Moscow.

Grognard1812 · Post by **Grognard1812** » Tue May 04, 2021 9:35 pm

The Soviet offensive continues without pause from Ryazan to west of Rostov.

End of turn - the Red Army is advancing towards Tula against stubborn resistance from the German army.
