Great Patriotic War (smokindave34 welcome)

[Callistrid]

T05 South

Nothing special. The arm factories was evacuated from the area. Now I must deal with Kharkow, and Stalino.
Next turn the german will cross the river.

[Callistrid]

Casulties and forces


Factories:
Arm: 10 lost
Heavy: 13 lost, plus another 20 will be lost.

The Lvow pocket still exist with 100 000 encircled soldier.

[Callistrid]

Lvow pocket.

The rumanian 3rd army and the hungarian VIII and Fast corps fight there. I'm not really care whats going there. But the troops try to infiltrate damaging the rail line.

[hfarrish]

Impressive defenses in the North and South, but the Center seems awfully weak. Not sure how that will work out, but will be interesting to say the least. Dave is a fun opponent and should give you a good game (very good on the defensive side once things switch in '43...).

[Callistrid]

The center is stronger than the southern front. The soviet cand fight after rthe river is crossed, but the difficult terrarian gives me a huge bonus.

On north strong frontline troops and reserve second. However, after august will be hard to fight since most of my tought troops are armor and motorized division, and the "upgrade" real hurts me. But if Leningrad will fall just around 15-17 turns, that would be splendid.

T06 Full front


This turn was still quiet just like the last one. The Lvow pocket still resist. 85 000 Men diging around the mountains, and rumanian, plus hungarian troops try to beat them. However, without german troops, defeating those guys wont be easy.

On North the german troops seems to be quiet. The 16th and 18 army troops arrived to the southern part of the Luga river, and the 4th panzers rest behind, (HBQH). The western part of the Luga line is low defended, give a good, but guided way to the german forces. If the german pz troops will try to break the line there, the soutwestern troops will reinforce the Leningrad front.
So, next turn, the battle for Leningrad will begin.

On center, I must stand and fight, slowing the german attack. What is a splendid news, the panzer divisions are far from their railhead. So no HQBU this turn. The newly formed troops digin 4 defense lines around Moscow.

On south major retreat. The armament factories in Kharkov had been evacuated this turn, and next turn I will start to continue in Stalino the evacuation. I belive in two turn, the german can't attack Stalino, because most of his infantry divisions (the 6th and 17th army) stand around Kiev (around 20 infantry division). Only the 11th army could support the attack, and the rumanians. And crossing the river around D-town will be hard.

You have outdone yourself with the armies symbols on your map! Can you teach me how to do that? And how do you identify what German army opposes you? [8D]

Anyway, I like your situation. In the South the German still hasn't a footing over the Dnepr, while in the North you are still holding him south of the Luga. If you manage to limit him in the Centre also, then he is in deep trouble.

[Peltonx]

Wow Daves in trouble.

His turn 1 and 2 need allot of work.

Without a great opening and turn 2 GHC is in trouble vs a good SHC player.

[Callistrid]

They just simple png files. If you wish I can aplpoad them.

Well the identification of the german armies are close to speculation. The 4th Inf Coprs with mountain troops stand around Kiev, 11th army position is reconised, and the massive (8-10) infanty div aron C-town must be the 6th (by elimination). The Romaian armies are speculation, just like the german second.

But using the soviet recons, gives you good informations.

[SigUp]

If you have them in black and for corps (XXX), it would be great if you could upload them. [:)]

[Callistrid]

The german forces are unharmed, and strong. On center my opponent could attack Vyazma, or flanking arond west from Tula. On south the open terrarian really favor the german. Plus we are plaing mild winter, so even if my forces will be higher number then usual be, I can't beat the german back to the Dnyepr.

[SigUp]

Those are great, thanks!

[Callistrid]

Somebody knows how many heavy factories need in late game? I all will be usefull, but having 200 factory is a good rate?

[carlkay58]

The more you have the better your supply situation will be when the size of the Soviet Army increases. I can't remember the exact number I had, but I was running short of supply when I got the army over 7M and I don't recall losing too many HI in the game. I can't imagine trying to supply an 8M man army with any HI losses.

T08 After soviet moves


The 4th Panzer army abandon the frontal attack of Leningrad, and moves to Moscow. Now I msut deal with 3 Panzer and 3 Infantry army. So I reinforce the moscow front with 16 Division from south, and 10 from north.
Most of the stronges tank divisions stand on the frontline, using them before the "upgrade".
The german attack however was weak, and most of the panzers (2nd and 3rd Pz army) don't do anything (HQBU???), so next turn will be a critical week.

South all is quiet, just line around Leningrad. On north the infanty aries crossed the Luga line, but they will facing with the hills terrarian, and the lvl 4 fortification around Oranienbaun.

Mst of the industies where evacuated, only Moscow, Tula, Stalino, and Rostov remains. Perhaps one of those could fall, but will doesn't hurt me real.
My ARM factory loose are just 10, plus 26 heavy factory.

My casulties are relative low, only 1.1 million soviet soldier.

[Callistrid]

Moscow front

Here is the moscow front

[Callistrid]

T11 Leningrad

Without the 4th Panzer Army, the german attack is slow. My opponent only won 2 or 3 hex/turn, so I'm not really care whats going on in this front.

[Callistrid]

T11 Moscow

The german try to capture the city with all he has. Four panzer army try to flanking, but the soviet resistance is very tough. The rail line is close, but breaking several 2 and 3 level fortification with 2-3 stack division is not an easy task.

[Callistrid]

T11 Stalino

Only 4 or 5 german motorized division stand in the region. The other panzer troops moves to Moscow. With infantry support they could take the city, but the advance is slow, and the soviet troops are strong.
