brianG v tyronec anatomy of disaster all welcome

[BrianG]

final upper

I continue my nuisance flank attack. Totally meaningless and again Tyronecs thoughts are elsewhere

[BrianG]

middle final.

another city is about to be attacked.

[BrianG]

My Guriev fiasco is now 11 hexes away from resupply.

omg, i really could have used these troops elsewhere.

[BrianG]

So, If i had any CV, i would be having a field day on these far right German units.

Plus i gave up Chkalov with barely a fight.

[BrianG]

Far east open.

Germans rescue the rr line. I actually have an area of the map in my favor for once.

[BrianG]

And in the other part of the map:

I lose both Penza and Arzamas to direct assault.

How urban cities fall to direct attack -- i've got the lessons here.

I did win the direct assualt on Gorky

[BrianG]

this is the last KIA report.

9.2 and we are still in 1942.

turn 77

[BrianG]

These Rumanians should appreciate that the walk to the Siberian POW camps are a lot closer than from Stalingrad area.

[BrianG]

Reinforcement schedule.

At this point in the game, the reconstitution of so many units is very unhelpful.

[BrianG]

I again try to cut the East West RR.

I am getting stronger here but its all misplaced as the end game is elsewhere.

[BrianG]

Again, i attack the spear tip for success

[BrianG]

Final North

i surround a German infantry division.

Yes!

[BrianG]

Far East

So my troops from Guriev are now 1 turn from resupply. An Army worth of troops

If the game had continued, this map area would have had a lot of action.

If my tanks had mp's, it really could be a wide open counter struggle, sort of like Rommell in Africa.

[BrianG]

Losing Penza really hurt

[BrianG]

And the last we see of Gorky.

Somehow, i will lose Gorky next turn to direct assault.

and game will auto end.[:o]
