GC41: Jawi (Ger) vs Kamil (Sov)

[KamilS]

Turn 15 End 3/3


South


Among numerous weak units I still have few very stron ones, so I have reverted to check-board set-up accepting possible small encirclements to prevent deep penetration north of Stalino.

Fortunatelly panzers are spread out, so I will be able to withdstand pressure in Stalino's direction. Only reall loss would be Kharkov.

I managed to succesfully defend Bryansk and Kursk, so after few turns of mud I should be in good position to keep it over the course of snow period.

3 muddy weeks gave me opportunity to rebuild coherent defensive line bewteen Bryansk and Kursk. This is part of front that is currently prioritised.

I have managed to assemble 5 stacks of strong units to direcly oppose German panzers threating Stalino from the west.
I hope I am not wrong, but supporting thrust from south-west doesn't look strong enough to pierce much weaker defences there. I should be able to hold on to the city.

Gradual pressure across central part of the front. I have too say to I underestimated cumulative effect of multiple successful deliberate attacks. Quality of Soviet army deteriorates every turn.

Most active part of front streches from Bryanks to Kursk. City of Kursk is serisouly threatened so most of new arrivals is sent here.

My forces in the south are really weak. Germans do not have strong defensive positions, yet I fear that my that whatever they have might be enough.

Most of summer and autumn I was under impression I was doing really well avoiding encirclenets and not conceeding too much terrain, yet here I am 3.5M losses and poor quality troops across the front.
