I tried one bombing raid on Polesti. My guys did not even want to fly.

What is the best Russian bomber for these long raids?

Probably IL-4

if you have any, the B-25s carry a better bombload as does the Pe-8 .. but the Pe-8s are real truck and supply hogs

Clap v Malinosky.

Really

Well, your basic odds were less than 1:2 so if anything it's surprising the 2nd attack succeeded unless you did a much bigger attack

I have found that many units in supply are now shattering in lei of retreat.

Since the last beta. The beta started around these turns.

Here my flank troops end up being cut off with Germany committing all his armor. I think.

Thus the air supply bomber casualties explained

You might want to look at Loki vs Vigabrand for possible consequences of defending this far forward in summer '42. It's one of those options labeled: Not really recommended.

Turn 49 situation

At least I now know where his tanks are, thus other sectors can continue attacking.

Also, this is the strongest Russian army I have ever had and at points I can counterattack with good localized power.

German army has not had it easy here.

What shall I do now was the question.

and ......

I attacked with good Cav and open up a supply route near south part of the pocket.

His tanks now have long MP.

Then I study the situation.

I start attacking the area about 6,7 hexes east of Kursk and low and behold we find......

And open avenue to go deep behind lines, attack airbases and maybe....

This was a key battle to opening the large hole.

His Hq was OKH. What's up with that. Kluge is no good in the field.
