Final Moscow

my best and clearly insufficient jaw pincer of the war.

8 hexes apart. a few more in the south flank would really have helped.

2 German inf div cut off

Only 3 more to mud, can i hold on.

far north .

Final

My units are left to rot.

Port still open.

I wish i could operate and really attack out of Leningrad.

Repeat suggestion. 1941 August forward, Russian tank division increase mp's to 30. so they can attack, get creamed, and then retreat instead of doing zippo.

Every turn a little more get captured.

(Sapper Regiments) are no longer able to be built since a few beta's ago.

You are right. I am playing 1.11.03 currently.

I am still impressed by your high Engineer value. Did you build many Sapper battalions? Did you put them with individual armies or with fronts and STAVKA?

I built maybe 40 battalions. Also waited to build regiments. It's was like waiting for Godot.

I also did not delete too many as the beginning ones on the map have good experience.

They are spread around.

attack 2

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

Image

What gets to me is you had two great attacks, each with over 100,000 men and forced two Armored/Motorized divisions to retreat. The Germans lost a total of three tanks.

As I recall Axis were losing around 150 AFV's a turn, so maybe around historical. Can't check now but I think a lot of this was directly or indirectly from the VVS. Yes, minimal losses in combat doesn't make sense.

Turn 15 It happened real fast

North Moscow disaster

tanks from Leningrad unit lock an Army worth of troops.

I guess i should have retreated north Moscow more the prior turn. Who saw that coming. ugly and unhelpful to the cause.

He tanks just glide across the map

more and more lost. I could cry.

If i did not retreat he would have just captured even more troops the next turn.

Well thankfully Leningrad area has calmed down.

He did just enough, and will now leave such a weak force guarding Leningrad to be a joke.
