Pelton vs 8421 1.06 1943

[Peltonx]

AGS: D-Town turn 4 thats a record for me. Only when I took Leningrad on turn 4 vs Hoooper was better then that.

Now if I could get to Moscow on turn 4, hehehe I settle for turn 10

Looks like 8421 uses the blob defence heheh. Put a big blob of units around spreadheads. I have to ajust, played vs this before.

Turn 6 my moves.

Enemy KIA this turn: 104,000
Armament Points: 48,000

All fronts look good land wise so its time to start killing off Reds and building morale. Infantry are in place now so I will start grinding down SHC and forming pockets where possible.

AGN: Looking good and will withdraw 1 Panzer Corp to AGC.
AGC: Looking good infantry only 27 hexes from Moscow on turn 6.
AGS: Looking good time to start killing off Reds. 14 divisions cut-off.

Turn 8 my moves.

Armament Points Destroyed: 22 D-Town
Enemy KIA:1,481,000
Enemy KIA this turn: 90,000
Armament Points: 38,000
SHC OOB: 4,380,000 +100,000

Turn 1 –7 generally I drive for space. Turns 8-11 pocket and then drive for space 12 - 17 and again during snow.

8421 is very aggressive much like TDV20 is so I have to change tactics mid game to take advantage of the weakness of 8421 game plan.

Seems his tactics are to with draw find weak flank areas and attack. If I can hold pocket I have bagged 35 units or about 250,000 men.
8421 has a bad habit of throwing good money after bad, so I am hoping he doubles down on this tactic this turn. I also have a major pocket forming to south.

I can't beleive he didn't pull back the turn before on that Mogilev pocket. It looked pretty obvious what you were trying to do, and he just sat there and let you do it.

In fact, it could have been worse, if you were able to close it further east. Bad enough as it is.

[Peltonx]

I think hes been playing vs less exp German players and had and easy go of it.

I think its a shock to many Russian players when they play someone that has some exp playing German side.

They played 3 to 5 German and had an easy go of it, many getting the german to quit before spring of 42. These are 1.05 games by the way.

My game vs TDV I have lost 24 German divisions and he has pushed me over both rivers, but there is a cost to how he is doing it.

This myth about Russians not having a good blizzard is a bag of sht myth.

Its what your play style is and how you want to build you army. The problem is mostt russian are building 43 armys in 41/42 winter.
