BrianG v. HYLA (no hard luck)

[BrianG]

still early war. nice cv shift

[BrianG]

Kharkov comes front and center.

this attack was not hasty

[BrianG]

good haul

hyla seems to be ok with arm factories getting destroyed. Industry has been moved first.

surprised that vehicles were still in Kharkov

[BrianG]

Final view Kharkov turn 12

[BrianG]

up north I try and keep pressure on recon. This might be my last attack on them.

I am not doing well and my bomber crews are showing low levels.

[BrianG]

final Orel area

[BrianG]

Up north for my Northeast to Cherepovets plan, I bull head on into Torzhok

[BrianG]

to clear a mobile lane, I set up this movement

[BrianG]

corridor is open.

Ultimately this opening maybe to early: I may not have had enough tanks to properly follow on .

[BrianG]

final North Moscow.

I get a nice pocket which should hold. Tanks will have low fuel except 1 corp which had HQb the turn before.

[BrianG]

final south Moscow. going for Tula and its factories, manpower.

Also should keep hyla aware that maybe I am trying to surround Moscow.

[BrianG]

south open

heavy Russian bomber action

[BrianG]

north open. hyla each turn picks one area to concentrate his bombers.

Maybe he rests them the following turn.

My fighters have been relaxing elsewhere this war. Rarely an interdiction worth writing home about.

And my usual wish for my tanks to have better fuel levels. Maybe next week.

[BrianG]

surrender attack. an actual air interdiction for me.

please note mp of tanks in area

[BrianG]

I had to use Totem to clear the pocket.

at this point I clearly do not have enough power (MP'S) this turn to make a huge lunge to rr crossing the swamp west of Cherepovits.

But that was my plan.

As I have a tank army west of Tula, I have split my concentration of power. Bad plan.

We shall see. If the tank army was not pressuring Tula, hyla would be all over this north thrust. All theory.

[BrianG]

air disaster. [:@]

I have no clue wtf.

I even had fighter support.

[BrianG]

my push on Tula. Get over river first.

[BrianG]

down south approach to Stalino.

attack on 6th army hq

[BrianG]

final south

In how many ways is this pocket horrible?

My south front hq is still way overloaded with attached units.

[BrianG]

final west Tula which still has industry. Maybe attack Tula next turn. Ive moved in more tanks
