Turn 3

Air Phase

I fly nothing but recon and just sit with my fighters like a spider waiting for the flies to come into my airspace.

[HardLuckYetAgain]

Turn 3

Before I get into the recon just wanted to go back and talk about

Danzig

Well Danzig is filling up but not what I expected. Koenigsberg seems to be sending out all the freight so far. Will see how this plays out with Koenigsberg set to 0.

[HardLuckYetAgain]

Turn 3

Koenigsberg

Still a great deal of freight sitting here

[HardLuckYetAgain]

Oh! Just got turn 4. Need to go check it out for a bit but will be back.

Maybe there is not enough tanks or other missing elements in the pool for them?

Correct! I need CS tanks and recon tanks Everything else is 100%

Actually now that I actually go and check I need the following items, medium tanks I am missing 46 to be exact & I have plenty of medium tanks if looking at the previous post.

Here is Turn 2's 14th PZ TOE, I received 4 Medium tanks from the previous turn & 8 Recon and lost an art. Interesting.

[HardLuckYetAgain]

Turn 3

16th PZ turn 2 TOE of medium tanks have 108. Turn 3 this fills up nice. So 14th PZ just unlucky compared to 16th PZ which is exact same setup.

Here is T3 filling up to the 121 Medium tanks on the TOE. So 16th PZ I am happy with and what I expected.

Turn 3

Oh my goodness, I am all over the place in this AAR this time. Getting back to the Recon for the beginning of Turn 3. In the north I see the following after running recon flying at 4,000 feet. I lost 6 recon aircraft total on my searches. 2 to flak, 5 to operational because of the range flown & the height of the recon. (this loss total is for the whole map)

I find nothing towards Narva, around Pskov I only show Soviets hugging Pskov. Will crawl some scouts forwards to check for ZOC of Soviet units.

[HardLuckYetAgain]

Turn 3

Recon South

In the south it seems that the Soviets want to play. Another Mountain Division, 2 Armor Divisions, a Cav Division, and an AT Brigade come out to play. I didn't see much if anything in the backfield. The Rough terrain I will have to scout with ZOC forwarding(inching a division forward 1 hex at a time to check ZOC). My Moto & PZ Divisions in the area have more than ample MP's.

[HardLuckYetAgain]

Turn 3

Tallinn is Deliberate assaulted with Totenkoph. Soviet retreat NE to become prisoners next turn. (Lost a tank in the assault

[HardLuckYetAgain]

Turn 3

Narva reached this turn. Will try and cross the river turn 4 if at all possible.

[HardLuckYetAgain]

Turn 3

Pskov

Here is Pskov at end of turn. Could not close the pocket so will have to wait until next turn to do so.

[HardLuckYetAgain]

Turn 3

South

Here is the South end of turn.

[HardLuckYetAgain]

Zovs and I have decided to remove all motorization from this game.

I have also updated to .18 (Beta version) upon the request of Zovs. That will take effect for turn 4.

Also please checkout Zovs counter AAR to this one for the Soviet side of things

End of Turn comments

Not much happening in the game at the moment. A few minor skirmishes & a few misplaced Soviets surrounded. Turn 7+ is where the real action starts to take place.
