My First AAR - Russia 41

[tm1]

AGC Turn 11
3rd Pz and 9th Armee move against Rzhev which is encircled, still have a number of trapped Soviet units in my rear that i just cant get rid off.

The drive against Bryansk is successful and the city is taken. further south the Inf Armee's try to keep pace,
but the weather is starting to turn.

[tm1]

AGS Turn 11

The 6th Armee has almost got past marshes while 1st Pz captures cherkassy and Kremenchug.

17th Armee is still clearing the pockets but 11th and the Romanians have crossed the river heading towards the Crimea.
More pockets formed in front of the river cities.

[tm1]

Losses Turn 11
Did not get as many this time due a number of factors including general fatigue of troops, still the Red Army is under 3 million.

[tm1]

OB turn 11

I still have more AFV and my troops numbers are high but this will change when Far East troops arrive.

[tm1]

AGN Turn 12

Pushkin is captured both 4th Pz and 18th Armee are being rushed forward for the attack on Leningrad and the surrounding areas, mud and rain have set in.

Only minimal movement on the 16th Armee Front, once again momentum is slowing.

[tm1]

AGC Turn 12

Rzhev is captured and and push some of 3rd Pz units forward, 9th Armee moves to cover its flank.

2nd Pz pushes forward too with 1 Pz Reg rearching Orel.

4th and 2nd Armee's try to keep pace, despite capturing the key city my Panzers are strung out all over the place and the Russians throw up road blocks everywhere.

Still cant rid get of those bloody pockets in the rear.

[tm1]

AGS turn 12

Success 1st Pz takes Dnepropetrovsk I am now only 7 points from the sudden death and I am close to other river city.
6th Armee will now be used to divert attention away from 1st Pz I need every Panzer to take it.

On the coast the Red Army has fallen back from the river so it will be for the most part easy to reach Perekop.

17th Armee still has some clearing but things look promising.

[tm1]

Losses Turn 12
Some good numbers here with more pockets to be cleared, just need to finish the pockets off and then reorganise my troops for cohesion.

[tm1]

OB Turn 12

Still ahead in most places.

The plan for turn 13 in the Centre will be for 3rd Pz to feint a attack against Moscow, the reality is I don't have the time or manpower to take it, not with all those enemy troops in the rear.

The main objective now is orel, 2nd Pz must take the city in the next 2 two turns.

I also need to get both 4th and 2nd further east.

In the South Zaporzhye is my priority target and with some luck Sevastopol just to seal the deal on the sudden death mark.

[tm1]

Supply Start Turn 13

Slowly but surely getting better, well sought of. only minor disaster now.

[tm1]

AGN Turn 13

The drive on Leningrad continues with Kolpina captured and the pocket near Kronstadt destroyed.

Time to reorganise my troops for a assault on the rail lines there.

16th Armee edges a little further east.

[tm1]

AGC Turn 13

9th Armee and 3rd Pz continue to head towards kalinin and Moscow diverting Russian troops away from 2nd Pz as it drives towards Orel and the city is taken, I have now crossed the sudden death mark for this year.

Further South both Inf Armee's push up.

[tm1]

AGS Turn 13

1st Pz encircles Zaporozhye, 6th Armee moves to finally get clear of the marshes.

I have put 17th Armee on both flanks of 1s tPz to cover it.

On the coast the 11th and Axis Allies push through to the gates of the Crimea.

[tm1]

Losses Turn 13

Under 150,000 this turn its going to get less now as the Red Army falls back.

[tm1]

OB Turn 13


Well the figures still look good but I am concerned with AFV there being such a high number of damaged vehicles.

[tm1]

Sudden death Mark

This is a good screen shot, I am happy at this time.
Now I just need to hold them through the winter.

[tm1]

Supply Turn 14 start

Getting a little better, decisions will have to be made now my troops are lacking supplies and exhausted, strung out all over the places with rails lines a long way behind.

[tm1]

AGN Turn 14

The AI leaves part of its Leningrad defence line only thinly guarded giving me chance to cut the rail line and the city itself off.

4th Pz punches through and reaches the shores of Lake Ladoga, a first for me.

18th Armee front is stable while i make small gains on 16th Armee front.

[tm1]

AGC Turn 14

This is further est I have ever come in 4 games with AGC, I'm so close to kaluga, but the Army Group is in bad shape I feel at the moment so I plan to fall back to better defensive positions in front of Moscow and Orel and dig in and wait for my rail lines to catch up.
I want to straighten the line further south, so I need both 2nd and 4th Armee's to push hard I need to get my Panzers out of the line.

The front line is at regiment level strength and Russians will roll over me in the coming months.
So as of now I'm calling a general halt in the centre.

Other players may have chosen different but i am not experienced enough yet.

[tm1]

AGS Turn 14

The weather has turn to mud and rain in the South I still plan to continue moving east and try to reach Osipenko and Poltava and also straighten the line in the South.

The main objective here now is Sevastopol.

3rd Rom Army has now moved forward, its getting ready to be placed into a defensive line to cover 11th Armee's drive into the Crimea.
