Turn 27 gone.

AGN
Narva is back in their hands.

I had to move a bridge engineer in blue spot, to feed my isolated units.
Some will survive, others will be destroyed. [:@]

All that by the loss of Pskov.
Air losses will expand to 25 vs 94.

[cpt flam]

AGC

I'm trying to align front line.
As could be expected, my turn will end after these assaults.

One more time, there was partisans activity in the north.
Rail engineers are now working on secondary ways.

I don't think Group commander would send them elsewhere, in doubt they will come back as needed.

[cpt flam]

AGS

idem as for AGC.
We continue to bombard Kiev.

Hungary will support part of the attacks.
They are part of our best allies with Finland.
Italian units are poor due to their size.
What to tell for Rumania and keep them happy ? [;)]

[cpt flam]

That's after turn 28
I will have to post more as I just sent turn 32 to Mark

My troops took another hex, repulsing 3 regiments
you can see the number of support they received .

Air war has been brutal, 48 vs 181

[cpt flam]

AGC

as before few hexes will change hands
I will suffer a retreat, noted by orange arrow

fatigue and supply issue will stop operations

[cpt flam]

AGS

not much change as can be seen

after mud period, I will see how are the troopers and supply
before thinking if offensive can be possible

[fogger]

Patrick, do not destroy the guerilla units. Just contain them. That way you know where they are and they are not running round your rear area cutting rail lines and dropping bridges on you.

[cpt flam]

Turn 29 is made

North of AGN

in this sector, supply come thru a road in the north and a bridge engineer in the south
I may have to fall back if they threaten the bridge

air war is better 29 vs 136

we are working on the rail line reaching Tallinn

[cpt flam]

AGC

this is Gomel sector

behind front line, there is a regiment (5-7) with about 30 squads on 108
more units will come back (after destruction) during Rasputitsa period.

taking a lone hex has not been easy.

[cpt flam]

AGS

as you can see rail line is closing to the front line

we don't know if we will keep the ground taken

about Hungary:
a Motorized brigade is under the Flak unit
not really readable on the map, the other brigade has been divided in 3 and loosed one part.
They are no more useful until regrouping.

[cpt flam]

Turn 30 (10.1.1941)

AGN
as I thought, my troops had to fall back.
1st Panzer is in northern part
6th Panzer is bone of the south

some infantry units could not run over the river.

air war is about 22 vs 85(mini)

[cpt flam]

AGC

again few attacks to try to advance

weather will change soon
this will hinder my possibility to try much

not getting objectives in time
which reduced my shock has been lethal for my hopes.

[cpt flam]

AGS

the part of Hungary X has gone on a rail line in the south
this will be better to reform them later.

We continue to work on the rail net.
Few hexes have been taken.

[cpt flam]

Turn 31

Northern part of the front

I've tried to bypass their defense.
May be due to weather, I had to fallback.
As you can see one of my units was not supplied at beginning of my turn.

[cpt flam]

AGN

few action, most are bombardments.
I loosed a hex during his turn.
And took another during mine.

Air war is better 40 vs 157.

[cpt flam]

AGC

my troopers found new energy to get some more ground.

As noted, the northern will be leaved later.
Units don't get enough value to defend it properly.
Mud is coming too, with that no guarantee to get possibility to move.

[cpt flam]

AGS

A disaster failed on us.
A regiment was divided before retreat.
This closed retreat path for others which capitulated. [:@]

The hex with nobody got 1/3 of a Panzer regiment in it at beginning of the turn.

The western hex indicating same division get 2/3 of the Pioneer.

Rail line is in Kremenchug.

[cpt flam]

Turn 32 (Rasputitsa begin next one)

as noted they took an hex where my rail line pass through.
The part reaching south isn't fully made yet.

You can see, how reduced are some infantry regiment.

End of my turn, air war will be 7 vs 79 (real)

[cpt flam]

AGC

this regiment has been engaged when he tried a backward move.
I put them on minimal losses to improve their retreat possibility.

This was made elsewhere to improve our defensive line and reduce the line.

Doing that, showed me part of their support.

As noted, 2 divisions are on the rail net to be displaced.

[cpt flam]

AGS

only one hex taken
most actions are bombardments to reduce their strength.

From next turn to about turn 41, more than half of my formations will reorganize due to my shock value.
This will hinder offensive possibility.
