My First AAR - Russia 41

[tm1]

AGC Turn 33

Slowly feeding reinforcements into the line as the Russians seem content on attacking AG South not that they don't here its just i seem to be able to hold them more or less.

[tm1]

AGS Turn 33


I have managed to throw a ring of units in front of the Russian spearhead, don't know it it will hold them.

Further South the shattered Romanians and 1st Pz get some reprieve.

[tm1]

AGS Soviet Turn 33

Both AGN and AGC the line is pretty much the same, a number of attacks which just hold back so need for screen shots as the line is pretty much the same.

The south is different situation altogether, massive attacks along the whole front, I don't know how i can hold, i have more troops arriving just not enough, I'm pulling troops out of refit early and throwing them in anywhere to stop the breakthroughs.

[tm1]

Supply Turn 34

As if things could not get any worse it does, my supply situation was slowly inching its way up however this turn does a 180.

[tm1]

AGn Turn 34

Same as before 16th Armee gets hit, there are some retreats

[tm1]

AGC Turn 34


The pressure on the centre around 2nd, 4th and 2nd Pz continues.

There are some attacks against 3rd Pz and 9th Armee but we are containing them.

[tm1]

AGS Turn 34

The Soviets are massing here, I Think the AI intends to smash AG south first then the other two AG's

However with the arrival of more fresh troops I decide to do something bold, 6th Armee counterattacks and several Russian units are thrown back.

The Romanians are hanging for grim life.

[tm1]

Soviet turn 34 AGS

Once again both in the North and Centre with some retreats but the line surprisingly is more less intact.

Not deterred by 6th Armee's show of courage the Russians reply in kind, they just hit a different section of 6th Armee's line and it crumbles.

[tm1]

Supply Turn 35

Thank God things are really turning round thanks to the rail repair and the fact the Crimea has functioning rail as well.

[tm1]

AGN Turn 35

The pressure on 16th Armee takes toll as units start to route

[tm1]

AGC Turn 35

More troops from the west arrive only to hear that Heinz Guderian has been dismissed as well as Walter Von Reichenau.

I see the Fuhrer's lap dogs are out for scalps.

[tm1]

AGS Turn 35

Things are still bad here more attacks against the battered 6th Armee however only few attacks further south against the shattered Romanians.


At the half way mark of Feb just need to hang on for another couple of weeks.

Supply Turn 34

As if things could not get any worse it does, my supply situation was slowly inching its way up however this turn does a 180.

...

trying to get a handle on what is 'normal for winter' but this is not that different to what I managed for the same turn. I think I have units on higher demand than you (which is basically meaningless as I can't meet that demand) but for the big delivery numbers I got 14,100 supply, 12,500 freight and 56,100 manpower. Another 800 supply and 300 manpower went to the air commands.

So at that level, you got more delivered than I managed (& your front is to the east of mine).

Could you do a view on the loss table?

losses for turn 36, i launched several counter attacks across the front this turn which were successful

[tm1]

Supply Turn 36

WOW supply is flowing in now despite the bad weather.

[tm1]

AGN Turn 36

More attacks by the Russians more routes from 16th Armee, funny though they have thinned there forces out here.

This may give me the breathing space as i have some more troops arriving.

[tm1]

AGC Turn 36

Emboldened by 6th Armee's show of courage I open up front wide series of attacks against the Red Army hoping it will shake the AI's momentum.

A number of Russian units facing 2nd Pz and 3rd are hit hard hope this works.

[tm1]

AGS Turn 36

Enough is enough I have been relentlessly pummelled week after week by the REDS, time for them to taste there own medicine.

Army group South launches a full counterattack, I throw everything I have at the Russians in the last days of Feb.

[tm1]

Turn 37 Supply

First week of March

With the counterattacks underway my supply drops a bit but still not bad.

[tm1]

AGN Turn 37

With the arrival of more troops 16th Armee Front stabilises, I also have some troops from 18th Armee in refit, 4th Pz is the lynch pin at Leningrad.
