I will run through the attack sequence of how I look at things. I hope this helps some people out in their games & if you have any questions please ask or point out where I have gotten something wrong. By all means, I'm no expert but I always strive to do the best I can. Please comment your thoughts. Thank you.
Please note that setting up a defense is an artform too. I know when I was playing the Soviets I was my own worst enemy. Why? Because I was setting up a defense on how I do my offense and was defending against "me". I just haven't seen many people do what I do on my attacks. Hopefully, I can get people to look at the opening turns for Germany in a different way now. I can show you how I would have set up a defense to protect against this sort of attack too. Although people would probably laugh at the defense I would set up. But really is a simple defense to combat this when you think about it long enough. But maybe I should keep that secret to myself ;-P
Here is what I want to accomplish on the Bryansk attack to set the scenario up again.
Orange = Combat Units
Yellow = HQ's and normally the end of the combat line, not always
White = empty hexes and this tells us a great deal.
Blue lines with arrows = retreat path envisioned for those units
Black lines = The Bryansk Highway
