GC41: Kamil (Ger) vs Dodo98 (Sov)

[TallBlondJohn]

Having besieged Moscow in 1942 it's amazing to see somebody get there in 1941. My battle made Stalingrad look like a picnic, but Moscow had multiple fortresses. Being able to get the rail connected just south of the city was vital, as you say supply beyond Moscow is very difficult as its the hub. The winter will be brutal if it doesn't fall.

This will be new experice for me as I have never played through first winteE as German so I am not 100% sure what to expect.

Turn 20 End 2/3

Center


Trhee captured hexes in Moscow area. I consider this as important win.
Further south, near Orel less was achieved, but still it is mud season, so my expectations were low.

Turn 20 End 3/3


South


Defensive line density near Rostov looks suffiecient, but more reinforcement will be required as I intend to keep some panzers in safe locations during winter. Shall see.

Hi @Kamil

Have you stripped your Theatre Boxes down as I see you had Italian troops by Turn 4, historically they don't turn up till Turn 8, once the snow / cold weather starts in late Oct early Nov you should be able to take Moscow you may take Voronezh, Yaroslavl and Ryazan or not depending how your opponent does.

Could you please show us your rail network in the central sector say from Kalinin to Orel I would just like to see how far your rail lines have reached since I noticed you have a rail unit east of Moscow.

Will be interesting to see how the Red Army winter offensive take shape since your opponent's new major supply base is Saratov and then back the cities in and around the Urals.

I am gradually getting Italian troops out of TB
In regards to rail - I can't do it as this for current turn as this is server game. I will be able to show it during laterer stages of '41.
