GC41: Jawi (Ger) vs Kamil (Sov)

[KamilS]

Turn 9 End 2/2


South


Positions north east of Kiev remain the weakest in whole front, so reatreat is only option. Fortunatelly there are no panzers here to exploit it.

Southern and Southeaster fronts, that contain many strong units shifted east to maintain coherent defensive line.
It will buy one at minimum more turn, although next main defensive possition is far far east near Stalino, so I hope it will do for extra 2-3 turns. Unfortunatelly reinforcement level is low so I might not have choice but to retreat prematurely.

Very Little Axis activity in the center.
My chances of avoiding major defeat here are gradually increasing.

Main line in the middle part of Dnepr remained intact.
All is not great however, Germans are deploying Romanian super soldiers

I keep stripping this part of the front from best units, so far I haven't been punished for that.
I hope it will stay that way.

Center


Axis are spreading out their panzers even more, meaning massive penetration is unlikely. Most probable scenario will be gradual retreat south of Smolensk.

Turn 10 End 2/2


South


I expect withdrawal in Sumy-Kharkov region to give me enough breathing space to create fort line along river Vorskla.
In the far south, I fear my troops are not numerous enough to stop enemy forces at current positions.

-- nachricht aus berlin --

der verkehrsknotenpunkt smolensk ist für die deutsche logistik sehr wichtig und wird hart umkämpft.

Smolensk.png (1.94 MiB) Viewed 104 times

der wetterdienst meldet eine bevorstehende regenperiode, die ohne die einnahme der landbrücke zu schwierigkeiten führen könnte.

die deutschen soldaten sammeln an den anderen fronten wertvolle erfahrungen.
einige rumänische einheiten sind fast genauso kampfstark, wie ihre verbündeten.

-- ende --

(vielleicht liegt der hohe wert der rümänischen einheit an der luftunterstützung der 4. luftflotte? in der nähe waren eine menge bomber stationiert - wegen der krim. ansonsten mal joel draufschauen lassen.)

Turn 11 Start 1/2


North


Minimal activity on that part of the front. Defense line is paper thin, beacuse excess troops reinforced Smolensk area.

Smolensk positions were not breached and German progress in southern part of Central front is slow as well.
Situation is definitelly positive here.

No major breakthough achieved by Axis forces. Worst developments are in far south - Hungarian brigade crossed Dnepr and I won't be able to push it back.

Barerly any activity. Focus is on maintaining strong line even at the expense of depth.

Turn 11 End 3/3


South


German forces near Sumy are weak, so in my opinion threat of flanking maneuver in upper part of Vorslka river is low.

Middle and lower part of river Vorlska is well defended, unfortunatelly situation in far south isn't solvable due to poor units quality there. Most likely I will have to reatreat towards Crimea next turn.
