As promised T14, by the lake turns very painful for me in the long run. I saw him starting to make progress but really had almost no reserves as I had to plug the massive hole he opened in the south so tried to manage it with local forces...again about T16/17 it turned very ugly because I couldnt spare the forces on this turn. Lesson learned [8D]

South center disaster [&:]

upper south

far south

T14 and then the follow on Turn 15 were pretty rough and then T17 was just alittle less painful.

Peltons doing a great job of chewing me up and Ive really underestimated how far his panzer units can get a couple times now and paid dearly for it. We are up to T19 now and if the weather stays favorable for German offensive operations I may be in for even more hurt lol.

Well we are back at it up to turn 20 now I forgot pictures of T19 want to get another couple turns towards winter before I post turn 15+

Heavy fighting continues around leningrad.

T15 North central- i figured pelton was preparing to attack to the east of rhezv so I shifted a reserve army to backstop that area, which worked as intended but then i didnt retreat enough next turn and lost over 200k men to an encirclement end result despite blunting the initial breakthrough.

South central T15

South/Rostov after the beating I took on Turn 13/14 most my lines retreat a good distance to let German supply distance due some work and give me a chance to rebuild some.

Aces of the red air force continue to put the hurt on German bombers at leningrad. Pretty good for soviet pilots only 15 turns into the game. They caught alot of easy kills on unescorted german bombers and became crack pilots early on in the airwar over leningrad.

North front - as you can see he starts to hook around the lake....I move several guards divisions and my reservers from the leningrad front to block.

North Center as I predicted he moves to encircle Rhzev...my reserve army prevents a clean breakthrough, and I drop the line back...just not enough as next turn will show.

South center I form a blob barrier around Tula to try and get the factories out....he cuts right through the blob next turn....

far south i run and start to reform my shattered front intending to hold Rostov at all costs.

Leningrad T18 dealing with the mess of his encirclement between the lake and moscow.

the encirclement- honestly the worst defeat I suffered so far as I lost several actually quality divisions.

On T17 he smashed through my blob and forced me to retreat two units couldnt get out so I left them to slightly delay the fall of tula. T18 situation Tula.
