Beautiful start. I was wrong about AGC isolation getting resupplied.

You statement about AGC and supply is a real dilemma for the Germans thru out the game. You will be tempted to advance your Pz'a far east, converting hexes, but the subsequent limited supply (few MP's) with the lack of coordination with the infantry trailing in their wake often ends up being a mistake.... Keeping each army group's "integrity" (coordinated, undivided) is a basic principle that the Germans should not violate. Beware of the temptation ... but the Dnepr crossing is a big mistake by the Soviets.

Chaos,

mattp got the point, and I still advise you to move back with your panzers, after the infantry reinforcements will arrive, because they are far from the supply line. Vitebsk is the right line, not the deep center.

T3 AG North just expands the area Germans control and the infantry slog forward.

T3 AG Center- Storms Mogilev expands Dnepr crossing some while waiting for infantry.

T3 AG South makes another pocket to the west of kiev.

T3 AG Romania w/1st Panzer- drives across lots of beautiful Ukraine farmland, and a SS motorized division storms odessa which was only defended by fortress unit.

he's not exactly making you work hard is he [;)]

I think after the pocket on T2 and me crossing the Dnepr in Center he pulled alot of forces from the south finally to shore up other areas of the front and is dropping back to protect whats important. As well I he did have alot of troops committed to the West of Kiev that are more or less in a barely survivable roving pocket. So I think the troop crunch has really hit on T3 and hes in full conserve forces mode. I was there against Pelton at several points in 1941 lol.
