final south

Again i really cannot afford to lose troops.

If i had more i might be inclined to hold near here but....

By my retreating he did not have to use his tanks for another turn. Maybe a bad move on my part.

Final Leningrad.

Again:

I retreat. But by doing so i will learn it allowed tyronec to start redeploying his tanks towards Moscow.

And he will do so very efficiently and effectively.

But i had to try and save these units near Leningrad.

no mud no luck

and another very close loss at the gates of Moscow

final Moscow.

Another 3 divisions lost.

vv area

his tanks have started redeploying near VV. I have to retreat.

his rr line is also close to VV

north final

His tanks have mostly left area leaving infantry to do the mop up. His barely has a screen on Leningrad .

Still what a mess. Leningrad will be easily cut.

down south final

even in an orderly retreat for me, i will lose 7 more divisions.

i also swap in a fresh unit to Sevastopol

A tactical comment on your five-sided attack on 12th Pz and 60th Mot. At least one of the Soviet stacks had previously attacked that turn, increasing fatigue. Three stacks were attacking across a river. Also the five stacks are from three different Fronts, causing 30% CV reduction.

I don't argue against an aggressive defense, and you have done well in other places, but this attack was unlikely to succeed. I would expect Tyronec would take advantage of the fatigued enemy units in his next turn.

all attacks made with no confidence in victory.

just following orders.

Very hard to contemplate Moscow open.

very hard to contemplate Leningrad open

very hard to contemplate Rostov open. Damn German tanks.

I shout out a Russian curse.

As expected, Tyronec crossed the Moskva in two places against the exhausted troops and extended two additional hexes beyond.

The Eng/Art values in this game seem very high. In turn 13 the Soviets have 24/13 resulting in attacking CV increasing from 174 to 679.

How are these high values achieved? Did the Soviets create many Sapper Regiments?

Those are no longer able to be built since a few beta's ago..

And i lost this battle


and the fort was only .14 before the attack.

And good general.

cv shifts happen!

the highlights

attack 1

attack 2

I may have then removed some industry from Rostov. cant recall

up north i force supply east of the river to have to cross the river.

Minor nuisance

another tough loss west of Moscow.

Good russian cv shift but better german general

I then find a seam in the south flank near Moscow and send in Cav deep.

I rout hq and airbase. woo hoo!!
