Another March to the East

[carlkay58]

T10 AGN 4th PG:

XXXXI Mot Corps finds a hole in the Soviet defenses along the Gulf of Finland but does not have the MP to exploit it. LVI Mot Corps also does not have the MPs to exploit the hole so it pulls back to north of Pskov for rest and refitting. There is nothing so frustrating as to have two holes to exploit but not enough MPs.

T10 AGC 3rd PG:

The PG shifts around and sets a more secure pocket this turn.

[carlkay58]

T10 AGC 2nd PG:

The PG has to shift around to secure the pocket and consolidate the gains from last turn.

[carlkay58]

T10 AGS 1st PG:

The PG advances along the length of the front clearing the path for the infantry to follow up next turn.

[carlkay58]

T10 AGS Rail:

The Rumanian FBD continues repairing the double rail towards Odessa and builds a new depot at Slobodseja. The 1st PG FBD starts on the double rail south of the Dnepr River and builds a new depot at Rakitno.

[carlkay58]

T10 AGC Rail:

BOth FBDs work the double rail in the Vitebsk - Orsha - Smolensk triangle and a new depot is built in Zudnya.

[carlkay58]

T10 AGN Rail:

The 4th PG FBD continues repairing the rail east of Lake Peipus. Rain and heavy woods do not make for much advancement.

T10 Soviet Garrison:

The current garrison level is at 90%. Looking at the Minsk - Smolensk area we see the effects of the Soviet Partisans (all of those red stars) at this level of garrison.

T10 Cleanup:

I set some more flak units to REFIT being careful that I only do a few as there just is not the production to get many of them up to TOE 100%. I airlift supplies to Kingisepp, Smolensk, and Olshanskoe.

T10 Files:

T11 OOB:

The Soviets are going back down to 3.1M. I just need to keep them going down.

[carlkay58]

T11 Ground Losses:

Not only 229K Soviets lost they also lost another 1027 AFVs.

[carlkay58]

T11 Air Losses:

Air combat losses are about the same for both the Axis and the Soviets. Not a good sign.

[carlkay58]

T11 Production:

So the supplies in the units are in good shape but the vehicles are breaking down too quickly - about 5K each turn. But I produce about 6K per turn so it may not be totally bad. I think I am probably staying about equal for the total trucks available but I could definitely use more.

[carlkay58]

T11 Trucks:

Unit truck usage actually shrank by 6K down to 52K this turn. I need to capture more Soviet trucks.

[carlkay58]

T11 Supply Net North:

It is not fantastic but it is good. When the 4th PG FBD hits the Gulf of Finland the supply for AGN will improve.

[carlkay58]

T11 Supply Net South:

The supply net is not too bad for the AGS but that is not saying much. The 1st PG FBD is working along the double track south of the Dnepr so that will improve the supplies to 17th Army. 11th Army and the Rumanians are just going to have to rough it from the ports for quite some time yet.

[carlkay58]

T11 Soviet Attacks:

There were no air or ground attacks by the Soviets this turn.

T11 Freight:

17th and 11th Armies are suffering in the supply distribution. Everyone else seems fine but the surplus is only +3K.

[carlkay58]

T11 Air Phase:

I went through and made sure all of the AOGs were set to ADVANCE. When new AOGs come as reinforcements they default to FLEXIBLE. I also cancel the Naval Patrol - Odessa is mine now. I should have cancelled it after I captured it last turn throuugh the Air Directive report so they would not have flown during the Soviet turn. The AI Air Assist created a new Naval Patrol directive for Grigoiopol. Where the heck is that? Well it is in the Odessa area. So I show the AOG labels and then change them the Following HQ through the drop down menus. Learn something new every day . . .

[carlkay58]

T11 AGS Rumanians:

The Rumanians isolates Nikolaev - well they relieve the current troops in the area to allow them to continue to advance.

[carlkay58]

T11 AGS 11th Army:

The army advances into contact with the Soviet defenses and captures Krivoi Rog. XXXIV Corps is pulled into reserve near Nikolaev to prepare crossing the mouth of the Dnepr River.
