Turn 5

Smolensk

Herd two more good experience(shown in soft factor) well equipped divisions left out front. Not exactly left out front but had to retreat a division that was in the 26 defense hex. Then it was easy. Time for cake!

Reflections back

Jubjub has done very well retreating and distance. Only my own experience in the game has been able to net me surrounded units and then very minimally. I do feel that the strike through the VL area has caught Jubjub off guard with very token resistance. I have said it in the past and have said it in WITE1 I consider VL area to be of huge importance. And I believe this is showing in this game as well. Now that I am technically out of the "woods", if you will, should be much easier with terrain beneficial to me for attacking instead of "heavy woods"

Turn 6 and/or 7 is where the game gets real. All the posturing before is just that. Now the real "know how" of what to do makes the difference. No longer will Jubjub be able to trade much ground in front of Moscow. Moscow is my destination and the Soviets will have to fight and fight hard to keep me out.

Operation Typhoon begins TURN 6!!! (I have the turn but haven't stated it yet)

This pic is quite interesting as you managed to get Totenkopf from Tallinn to Smolensk so fast.

Just another note but kind of trivial nonesense but usefull on weighing an opponent. Pay attention to the Soft factor displayed when the turn comes back to you. The Program normally keeps the settings of the last opponent and every turn has come back with the CCP with Jubjub. Trivial information but useful. Also some other settings change too. Just trivial BS that has minor meaning. I know you think I am crazy but every little bit helps.

This is a good point. At one point in winter with my game against Dave, I turned the weather graphics off so I could see the map more clearly and left it that way. When Dave got his turn back in our game, he was trying to figure out where the winter went. [:)]

Turn 6 Beginning of Turn

BOMBING!!!

This time I was ready for them... with 88's!!! One of many but only showing one photo.

I never ran out of targets but I ran out of ammo, lol. This turn shouldn't be a problem with 88 ammo though. We put in an order for HUGE ammount of 88 ammo

Turn 6 Beginning of Turn

Air Losses

Here are the air losses. Almost all the Soviet air losses were from the bombing.

Notice the loss to flak. I literally ran out of 88 ammo, lol

We heard you like bombing...
So we put a bomber in your bomber, so you can bomb while you bomb.

Cute.

Now, who is "we"???

Turn 6 Beginning of Turn

Oh yeah almost forgot about this one. Rumanians get DEVASTATED. All you Ruskies should like that picture.

Like I said Jubjub is extremely aggressive. It is like putting your hand into a jar full of snakes knowing you are going to get bit.

Turn 6 (real time update)

Recon of Moscow front

What do you see?
