German Folly 2ndAcr (GE) vs Tullius (Reds)

[Pipewrench]

that pocket in the south is a thing of beauty. Stalin will be executing many generals by week's end.
 
keep the guns loaded and the gas tank full. thanks for the AAR

[Mynok]

Where is the rest of 17th army? I would expect to see more towards the front.

Nice response to his attack. He did set you back a turn in the north, though. You'll need to make that up if Leningrad is your goal.

How's the fuel on those 4th Panzer corps? Assuming you've done your recon, you have an opportunity there if you have the gas.

[2ndACR]

He left a good sized pocket of troops west of Lvov so I have some there that only had 6-8 movement for some reason. That is where most of them are.

They will be closing the distance next turn. Hate to have him rush all my airfields and such.

[2ndACR]

Shoot Mynok you know I can never keep track of the Corps numbers. All are/were at 40% fuel at turn end. I did massive fuel lifts to all panzer units. I expect to start having serious fuel issues come turn 5 or so. That is about where it always hits me until the rail closes the distance more.

[Mynok]

Yes, that's about how it goes. Get those Pz HQs forward and drop on them next turn.

[Klydon]

The gas question got answered. I guess the other is the supplies and fatigue factor with spending a fair amount of time isolated.

Nice moves in the south. That gives new meaning to the term double encirclement.

[Mynok]

That's the advantage of those extra panzers down there. Really puts pressure on the Sovs.

[2ndACR]

Well, guess no turn for today. Had to sacrifice a cat and 1 kid to get my gaming fix.

So, in the meantime, I am going to run a head to head game against myself and try out a new strategy and see what happens.

[Senno]

Shoot. Was looking forward to see the counter, and your reaction.

Exciting game!

"...Turn 3

Judging by all the hits his thread has gotten, you all must have seen that glorious counter attack he launched. Well, I had a moment of "oh crap" when I first opened the turn. I did not grab screen shots at turn start, but I bet he has some in his. LOL
..."
 
Sure thing, we all saw it and we all enjoyed it. [:D] 
Great game, great AAR. [&o]

[2ndACR]

Need my fix, wife already mad about yesterday's sacrifice made to the gaming gods. Don't wish to make it worse by sacrificing another cat and the last kid. Because the wife knows she is next after that.

[Encircled]

Now thats what I call a riposte!

[2ndACR]

Thank you, but I had my moment of "now what do I do". No doubt about that.

And I am starting to eye the cat and boy, sharpening my knives.

[Senno]

Can't wait to see the parry!

Gonna go poke TD.

[2ndACR]

Yes!!!!! I see him online, there is hope again. The sacrifice is suspended for now, but I am still sharpening the knives.

[PeeDeeAitch]

Try to encircle the entire Soviet Army, like you did in the South but the entire thing this time - see if that forces a surrender.  You might need more tanks...

[2ndACR]

Turn 4

I got my fix. Yes!!!!!!!

Okay, in the north, he did a small isolation of my panzers while my infantry finished closing the gap. Now they are online. But this is a small price to pay.

[2ndACR]

Turn 4 Central

He did a small isolation of I think 2 panzer div, small price because they are still healthy. Infantry coming fully online now.

[2ndACR]

Turn 4 "The Pocket"

Here his pocket created last turn is already being destroyed at a fast pace. Soon all my infantry will be in full pursuit mode.

[2ndACR]

Turn 4 South

I do believe he is in full retreat to the Dnepr River and I am in full pursuit. Fuel stocks on all Panzer units are decent and the same for my motorized units. Goal, get across the river!!!!!!!
