Seems the lull is over and he is probing the Vitebsk area.

Another turn or weeks time and another pocket forms it seems. Very disquieting,so it is 1 division to a hex with corps/army Hq's 2 hexes back. We shall see if i can do it as easy as write it.

Gomel and marshes area of operations. I need to close up the line,straighten and generate some divisions for fallback positions.

This isn't for the faint of heart. My stubbornness with defending forward too long has come to more or less a conclusion. Yes,this is the 6th week of operations but its time to run,find a river and get behind it 7 DIG!

Ugly is the watch word for this sector. He taunts me with an opportunity to relieve the pocket,but no,that chance I cannot take. Hmmn.or can I?

here is the tail end southern point of the Front. Hmmn,those Romanians and Slovakian troops are tempting targets.

Here are the ground losses through turn 6:

Here are the results after 6 weeks of war in the air for Axis and Soviets:

Here we are with Destroyed Units for the RED Army through turn 6:

your doing better than I am. Smolensk fell and I am rather short of troops directly in front of moscow at the moment:-)

What turn are you on Miller? And just remember there is no way you can loose in 41' nor can he win in 41'.

But i feel you,believe me......[:D] cause I feel it too.

 Indeed BLurking,doing the German first move is a brain bender. But as all good things that turn is coming. Moses gave me a mess to wade through and you have me redoing search grids in the pacific!

I'll be waiting patiently - but yes, the Axis have given you a full plate.

Not as bad as it could have been. Russians and their reserves,its something you'll enjoy.

And the Emperor has another turn awaiting him......[:D]

Lake Ilmen is always a good place to use as part of a defensive line, though it's often a problem where you place units to the east or southeast of it ( no rail line in a good place ).

Some of AGS's mobile units REALLY need a break, or they'll break themselves in a few turns.

Units that were pocketed i used in attacks at the pocket guards moses set in place. I picked on his Slovakian boys and a regimental team he'd broken a division down to. The pocketed troops are going to be a loss to me anyway,might as well take some FASCISTS with me!

Time for a look at the BIG Picture:

I'd like to start seeing defensive lines built in front of Moscow - you have the opportunity to start digging in now, so you should take it (if you have the men available).

Red Army situation on the Northern Front after my turn 6 movements:

Remember all comments welcome,even the unpleasant ones.[8D]

The Plan is to pull back to the Finnish "NO GO LINE"....outpost and fortify that and free up the divisions for service defending Leningrad. Primary objective is to keep a supply-line open to Leningrad.

I have removed some of the 32 capacity KV-1 production from Leningrad and moved it to Sverdlosk. Same with heavy Industry,armaments and BA-10,T-50 production.
