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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.
