I looked at the turn for hours last night not moving a damn thing, lol. Anyone else every do this?
Anyway some numbers.
I figure roughly the Soviets should have on the map and in the Reserves, 168 Rifle Division, 17 Mech Div, 32 Cav division and 30ish Tank Division. I would give each of those categories +/- 5-8 divisions each to be on the safe side.(only dealing in rough estimates, I may decide to map the whole damn thing out for accuracy) There is currently 110ish hexes from North to South to be covered by defense Most of the battlefield is covered with units except for the woods/swamps north of VL by the Soviets. Of course the Soviets retreat on most of the map which benefits them having the Assault HQ's in the right place since the Germans really only can fight those units
. Thus MUCH LOWER losses to Soviets being high CCP, well supplied, and all the other crap. Now, the Soviets have one last turn of significant reinforcements on turn 10 and the rest is pretty minor. If I can continue the rate of 8+ Divisions a turn goobled up I believe I will be in good shape for winter which should be about 2.5 million to 3 million in Soviet losses by Turn 17ish. On top of the 8+ Divisions(non CAV divisions that is) I want to keep above the Soviet replacement rate every turn on losses to the Soviets. Staying above the replacement rate forces those replacements to go into units which will further deteriorate their experience and morale from the high morale they have at the start. I will just attack everything I can on the map where and when I can to cause losses. The Luftwaffe will start showing up now that my supply is getting better per turn. Will start going after the Soviet Fighters and more bombing of Soviet units for more losses to them.
Yup, you have done it too.
