My First AAR - Russia 41

[tm1]

AGS Turn 56


In the South two large pockets are formed, slowly pushing the enemy away from Rostov.

Stalingrad looks light years away, but I might be able to take Gronzy with 1st Pz.

[tm1]

Losses Turn 56

Still maintaining over 100,000 Soviet casualties so far per turn, however I pushed my Panzers hard and lost quite a few of them.

[tm1]

OB Turn 56

Still doing well here keeping the Red Army In check in fact just Ostheer even without Axis Allies I'm in front of them.

[tm1]

AGN Turn 57

The drive continues with minimal opposition, its seems that both The Leningrad & Volkhov Fronts are beaten.

I'm almost to the Rybinsk Reservoir.

[tm1]

AGC Turn 57

The attack on Moscow is delayed as I had to remove the threat in my rear, this lead to a opportunity I could not resist.

I pushed a Pz Reg through to Yaroslavi which is good but now I have move troops away from Moscow to keep Yaroslavi stretching my already thin lines thinner.


But its worth it as Moscow is isolated but seems to strong to I don't think I can take it.

[tm1]

AGS Turn 57

The Russians seem to have surrendered the Black Sea coast road as the Italian Army marches towards Batumi unopposed.

Most pockets are destroyed with another formed.

here too long supply lines for my Armies and getting longer every week.

[tm1]

Losses turn 57

Russian casualties have broken the 8 million with nearly 5 million prisoners.

[tm1]

OB Turn 57

Russia is struggling now but I cant afford a battle of attrition, need to keep trapping them.

[tm1]

Sudden death Turn 57

Well reached the magic number, just have to hold out till turn 68 or take Moscow.

...

well done, can't see a sustained Soviet offensive between now and the end of September and you have some big targets not too far from the current front lines

Thanks for the encouragement, hopefully one day I will actually play against a real person but that's a long way away from happening.

Truth be told I think the AI is going easy on me.[:D]

[tm1]

AGN Turn 58

It seem in the North the Red Army is now a defeated rabble as both 16th & 18th Armee's continue to mop up.

[tm1]

Moscow Turn 58

Despite my doubts looking at the formidable defences in and around Moscow I attacked West Moscow which finally fell.

However this is not the strongest fortified position and it took two determined assaults.

[tm1]

AGC Turn 58

While the attack on the city commences the rest of the AG centre pushes outwards and North to secure Yaroslavi.

Small pockets are formed, the Red Army launches some belated counterattacks which are easily contained.

I'm preparing 2nd Pz Armee and 4th Armee for a push against Tambov

[tm1]

AGS Turn 58

While the action up North centres on Moscow down South I am strengthening my lines in front of Stalingrad and clearing enemy units.

Along the black Sea no opposition and 1st Pz is forming up for the drive on Grozny.

[tm1]

Losses Turn 58

The Red Army has again taken big losses, almost 250,000 casualties.

Trapping Tank units is getting rather hard as they are now few and far between.

[tm1]

OB Turn 58

Still maintaining even levels on the battle field.

[tm1]

AGN Turn 59

Trapped a couple of small pockets and have reached the reservoir more or less.

What Russian forces that are left here are in no position to do much, I seem to be able drive them back now quite easily as they just don't have the numbers.

[tm1]

Moscow Turn 59

August 2nd 1942

Message from Army Group Centre HQ Tula Russia to Wolfsschanze Rastenburg East Prussia.

Moscow has fallen.


Josephs Stalin's whereabouts is unknown at this time.

[tm1]

AGC Turn 59

With the news of central Moscow in German hands 2nd Pz Armee launches a offensive against Tambov cutting off several Red Army Units in the process.

Red Army morale must be shattered by now
