1941 Campaign all 255turns! Bob vs Trey

[Sabre21]

You do know that if he attacks any of those red bordered units that they can surrender...not likely..but it is possible.

[karonagames]

Fortunately he didn't and most of them were only 1 hex away from the supply grid.

[karonagames]

Fast forward through the Mud to T22 and Snow. AGN Digs in:

[karonagames]

End T22. Panzer groups 4 and 3 grind out a few more miles nearer to Moscow.

[karonagames]

T22 Panzer Group 2 very nearly closes a pocket in front of Voronezh and I've left some SS regiments exposed- too tempting a target for Trey no doubt.

[karonagames]

T22 I decide to burn 5k trucks and reduce my supply capacity to use HQ Buildup for the first time on 2 Panzer corps. I hope it was worth it as I got a pretty strong pocket around the Donbas cities.

[karonagames]

T22. Rumanian Mountain troops arrive to support the attack on Sevastopol and the guard the coast against any amphibious operations Trey might try - it looks like something might be hiding in Yalta.

[karonagames]

End T23. I haven't come this far to not get my souvenir Vodka and Matryoska Dolls, so I wreck another 10k trucks to use HQ Buildup on 3 Panzer corps, in the hope that I can make 2 deliberate attacks on Moscow next turn. I hate going head on, but I can't out flank the city.

[karonagames]

End T23. All in wrestling in front of Voronezh. Pockets just get harder and harder to lock down.

[karonagames]

End of T23. I know it's really cheesy, but Trey did put the Para's in so I felt I ought to use them. Now I just need the cavalry to come and rescue them!

[karonagames]

End T23. Looks like the Mountain corps arrived just in time to deal with Treys amphibious excursion.

[karonagames]

T23. Using refit to get units up to strength before the Blizzard. More generals takin one for the team, and so far I have not seen any promotions, and just one ratings increase and that was political.

[karonagames]

T23 OOB. Trey has more tanks than me - not fair. The Aircraft pool bug has deprived me over over 300 aircraft, but I not complaining - it's only a game.

[karonagames]

T24 starts with the first promotion in 24 Turns hopefully the Luftwaffe will do a good job for me this turn to celebrate.

[karonagames]

T 24. I ask the luftwaffe to throw everything they have at Moscow, and this is the result. I hope there is a lot of disruption that I can't see!

[karonagames]

T24 I throw 9 fully supplied Divisions in a frontal assault on the Moscow suburbs. I was expecting to lose a lot more tanks.

[karonagames]

I have enough MPs to try for the Hvy Urban hex of Moscow so I kick off another "all out effort" from the luftwaffe - I think they were celebrating the appointment of their new field marshal.

[karonagames]

T24 Moscow: I managed 3 attacks, and these were the best odds I could get - grateful for the low tank losses:

[karonagames]

T24. I couldn't isolate the pocket in front of Voronezh but I did rout everything, to at least weaken them for a couple of turns.

[karonagames]

T24 one of my major objectives was to prove to myself that Rostov can be captured by December 1st, but it took a cheesy paradrop to do it. My forces are badly exposed and I hope I don't lose them just to prove a point.
