BrianG v. HYLA (no hard luck)

[BrianG]

final north

after crushing the pocket I was barely able to advance 3 hexes out.

I could use that tank army near Tula up here about now.

[BrianG]

pet peeve: Russian fort defense of Finish border

[BrianG]

early moves up north.
trying to clear rr so it goes past VV to support my attack towards Cherepovets

You can see my rr repair in the shot.

2 defensive reserves in this attack

[BrianG]

As my fuel up north was poor, I am back near Tula.

[BrianG]

21st Russian army hq routed.

[BrianG]

one more up north. Felt I need to do a non hasty attack against heavy woods.

[BrianG]

Final North spear tip.

IF IF IF

If I had better fuel I might have made it far enough to cut the rr heading to Leningrad.

Or the tank army near Tula. But if that tank army had not been at Tula, HYLA would have already added to defense up here.

[BrianG]

North Moscow final. lower flank is way open.

[BrianG]

south area action. Fuel at usual pathetic levels.

[BrianG]

final Kursk Tula map

[BrianG]

Final Crimea.

Left wide open including the port

[BrianG]

Tula left open.
Hyla leaves major city empty and then when overrun the population escapes.

He does this regularly.

[BrianG]

Tula industry.

[BrianG]

Air horror.


This one made me very dizzy.

4 units cut off. I thought maybe OKH was routed.

[BrianG]

Army group Center and OKH are saved by measly split up sec brigade.

Major medals.[:)]

[BrianG]

North Moscow air attacks. And another break thru with more Germans cut off.

Damage is minor though but the front must be restored.

My rr continues NE with no issues

[BrianG]

North battle lines.

My objective is 4 hexes away? Cut the rr and get up to finish border.!!!!!!

[BrianG]

These Russian air attacks are a good reason to kill more planes on turn 1![:-]

Eventually I lowered my air intercept 80% so fighter planes would fly for more missions.
.

That was later for now interdiction was bad.

[BrianG]

fighter fatigue and poor German results. HYLA has his Russian airkorp razor Sharpe.

Down south Jodl defeats major attempt to breaktru to pocket
