A snapshot of the Russian southern front.

Sitzkrieg. [:D]

Looking at the screen shots I would wager impending doom for the Axis. [;)]

Turn 215 AGN

This is AGC. Willie has broken in and now has 2 Inf Regts behind my MLR. This is the very start of the turn before any of my moves.

Try that again

I have counter attacked and destroyed the 2 Regts and restored my line

The start of turn 216. Willie is making a major effort against the southern end of AGN. Red arrows are where he is attacking and the yellow arrows are what I think he will do.

AGC

The start of turn 217. Willie has made several major attacks and has made a very serious break in just north of Kharkov. In the process he destroyed the bulk of the 6th Panzer and LSSAH Panzer divisions. I have no reserves left here and will have to cut and run.

The southern part of AGN is in the process of being cut off. A small break in has been made and Das Reich PzGen and a number of Ind Panzer units have been smashed. Again no reserves left so I am going to have to cut and run. The problem here is that if I cut and run then the northern part of AGN will be cut off. So I am going to have to make a big step back for AGN.

I am starting to think that Willie may be in Berlin by Christmas.

The Russian objective !!!

Smash all German divisions and head west and retake Russia!!!![X(]

THE SITUATION IN THE NORTH

THE SITUATION IN THE NORTH AFTER MY FIRST ROUND ATTACK

There is little left of the trapped German units east of Pskov.

THE SITUATION AT ARMY GROUP CENTRE

THE SITUATION IN THE SOUTH



THE RUSSIANS HAVE MADE A BIG HOLE IN THE GERMAN LINE HERE.

The start of turn 218. If Willie can keep up the pressure I think he can be in Berlin in 6-9 months. I am now in big trouble.

Turn 219 (25 July 1943). I am now in trouble with AGC. As can be seen from the picture Willie is racing towards Kiev and I have nothing to stop him. It would also appear that he sending some units north and south of the break in point in an attempt to cut off my withdrawal.

AGN is also in trouble and if I am not careful I could lose the entire group. Willie is slowly surrounding the southern part of AGN. He also destroyed my forces west of Pskov and is only a short dash to the Gulf of Riga and thus being able to cut off the northern part of AGN.

sorry wrong picture
