The RED Fires of Hell (HLYA as Soviets VS Unknown German)

[HardLuckYetAgain]

Turn 11


Operation area



I have decided that this is my operation area with the two yellow circled units as primary targets. The two orange circles are my objectives for units in them.


If I remember correctly M60 likes these types of write-ups. Buckle up! Here we go! Gotta show the Germans we still have teeth.

Got to go for awhile. I still 37 more pictures to go. Will be back in a bit or tomorrow. Thank you for reading my dribble.

Given the ominous direction this was taking for the Axis forces combined with what is now a long pause, one wonders if the conflict is already over.

It is not over. My opponent is continuing. I finished turn 13 two days ago, BUT forgot to send it, LOL. That is twice I have done that.

Just have not been able to do the write-up and wont be able to until this Sunday/Monday at the earliest

Thank you as always for asking M60

[HardLuckYetAgain]

From the future (Turn 13) but had to post.

How often do you see the fighter loss the same, then the F/B loss the same for the turn? Crazy.....

See, 3 of the top 5 are LAGG's on experience. The flying coffin is coming through for us. I do hate the Migs but will take them non the less.

Air Losses
Well... it was bound to happen. I got taken to the cleaners but I feel my Soviets did very well too. What do you think? Let me know.

It would help if you added the unit kills to the filter of the command screen. Experience alone won't tell the whole story.

Thank you for asking. I have added the kill column in the row for everyones viewing pleasure. This is Turn 13 air totals. We are on T14 now. I will continue with my attacks around Smolensk writing that up in the morning.
