My First AAR - Russia 41

[tm1]

AGC Turn 21

Still trying to get those troops from the South up here as fast as possible, hoping the Russian's don't attack now that the snow has hit.

[tm1]

AGS Turn 21

All quiet here at the moment and just maybe I can push across the Kerch Straits, there only seems to be forts there.

[tm1]

Supply Turn 22

Not getting any better, a lot of my troops are more than 5 hexes from a rail head that's not helping, i just cant repair rail fast enough everywhere.

[tm1]

OB Turn 22

The figures for the Soviets keeps improving and I missed noticing that 24th Panzer was sent to the Western front way to go OKW.

Why they need a Panzer Div at this time boggles the mind, seems a bunch of clowns are running the High Command at this time.

[tm1]

AGC Turn 22

Well the quiet was broken, several big attacks on the Moscow front resulting 3 units routed and 1 unit forced to retreat, It could have been worse but for several reserve activation's which halted a lot of attacks.

Also made several counterattacks myself, and put some Panzers on the front line which i really didn't want to do, but had to be done.

[tm1]

AGS Turn 22

Very static here apart from moving what's left of 11th Armee moving to Kerch and the rest up North to AGC.

[tm1]

AGN Turn 22

Well I seem determined to push my Armee's here to the limit.

4th Pz attacks Novaya Ladoga and takes it.

The two Divs finally arrive from 2nd Armee to go into the line with 16th Armee.

We shall see if that makes the difference there.

[tm1]

Losses Turn 22

Despite the weather and the Red Army attacks I caused some have decent losses to them.

[tm1]

OB turn 23


The Russians still keep growing.

[tm1]

Losses Turn 23

These losses from my turn however this could change since the AI is yet ta have its.

What was even better is the fact that during the previous AI turn it chose not to attack and in fact pulled quiet few units away from the front.

My counterattacks gave it cause for concern.

[tm1]

Supply Turn 23

No comment.

[tm1]

Weather Turn 23

Well it finally hit second last week of November, blizzards

[tm1]

AGS Turn 23

launched a few spoiling attacks here just to throw the AI.

Could not cross the straits in the Crimea to the Taman Peninsula, will see what happens after the AI turn.

Maybe I can cross maybe not.

[tm1]

AGC Turn 23

30th korp finally arrives at the Moscow front, still need to get the unit in the line.

More spoiling attacks here in the hope the AI does not attack and i can reorganise the line.

11th Korps is still a long way from Orel but some units are now at the rail head, at least that's something, they still wont arrive until the first weeks of Dec.

[tm1]

AGN Turn 23

Madness, I launched a attack across The Neva River which succeeded but at what price, if I keep pushing this late when the weather fully hits the Army will more than likely collapse.

Seems two out of three ports on Lake ladoga are not enough to completely isolate Leningrad's supply lines.

No more attacks from 4th Pz that is it I am digging in there for certain now, I cant get across the river to take the final port.

Some nice pockets in the earlier days of the game.

With a harsh winter coming, I am interested to see how much you can hold on. It looks like you are already fortifying some of the regions to the rear.

Can we get a shot of your rail network?
