Workshop for the new guys - Directive 21 (D21)

[larryfulkerson]

This is what's going on near Pskov. I'm pushing north along the coastal road from Pskov to Chernevo and NE along road to Luga and I advanced an armour unit to Batetskiy. It's in poor shape and I might ought not to have moved it there. I'm in too much of a hurry doing things like that. I'm also pushing east to try to get to Staraya Russa eventually. I'm running into more Soviet resistance the further east I push.

I've driven a line of heavy units along the road from Chernigov to Nezhin and finally got a recon unit into the city adjacent to my paratrooper unit. Better than nothing at all.

I'm pounding the southernmost stack of Soviet units because it's crowded-red and therefore will have a greater density of targets for my tubes. All my infantry adjacent to that hex are dug in, saving their strength for when it's time to attack the Soviet ground units with all my adjacent infantry. I'd like to put off the attack on the Soviet infantry with my infantry until I can block the one port that permits the escape of all those Soviet units on the west side of the river. About 10 turns from now probably.

This is what it looks like around Bryansk right now. I've got a gap I need to close to the SW of Bryansk but I've got enough units nearby to close it before the Soviets can take advantage of it. After I grab Bryansk I'll go for Orel next.

This is looking north from Pskov. I'm still pushing toward Leningrad but I'm running into more resistance than usual.

This is the middle of T15 in the middle of the outback. I'm sneaking up on D-Town at the elbow of the two rivers.

This is late T15 ( round 5 ) in the Leningrad thrust and it's looking good. Note that the rail is repaired all the way to Narva and beyond. I can't remember if I have any more MP's left anywhere so this may be the last position of most everybody. I expect the Soviets will move a lot more units between me and Leningrad. I've got a huge gap in my units between the group up north and the middle closer to Pskov. It's because most of the gap is forest with a single road in it. I'm mostly plugging up the roads and rails if I can.

This is T16 before anybody has moved, well except for the 4th Brandenburg paratrooper. I chose the airfield near Staraya Belitsa but I wasn't counting on going into reorg immediately upon landing. One ore shy of a cookie or something. I haven't moved anyother unit yet. I'm still planning on how I'm going to save my paratrooper. I'll work on it.

This is still T16 before anybody has moved looking east from Smolensk. It's 13Aug41, the middle of August. I made a movie to show the weather right now in this AO.
