BrianG v. HYLA (no hard luck)

[BrianG]

Cav shattered. One more hex to view to see if we can cut zoc into Tivken.

The 16-48 armor is revved up and waiting for the go go go signal

[BrianG]

[:@]Stopped by measly antitank unit, which probably has a win loss record of 0-20[:@].


Rats or Nuts

[BrianG]

final north.

My attack would have failed even with this antitank unit gone. A Russian cav was unspotted in swamp on way to Tivkin.

Alas it was a good try chaps.

I am bringing up tank reserves from other areas to keep the push on towards the lake.

[BrianG]

Ryazan taken. it will not be held long

[BrianG]

final Tula. Pushing east to cut rr's and will retreat during blizzard

[BrianG]

Final Stalino.

Push east to cut rr's.

All units very far from rr supply

[BrianG]

oob

[BrianG]

ugly air results

[chaos45]

kind of surprised you don't have some of those Romanians building forts by stalino for winter in the south.

In the north, I really think you overreached...you have a nice pocket for sure by the lake if you went west instead of trying to drive north. Should have easily encircled like 10-12 Soviet formations if done right and given u a chunk of land in good terrain not exposing your flanks just prior to blizzard.

Just following orders:)

The dreams remain big: We attack not knowing how bad the blizzard will be.

[BrianG]

Russian moves up north. notice again rr cut.

[BrianG]

I discover the a Russian Guards unit

[BrianG]

I was unable to occupy this rough hex last turn. Now it has to be attacked again

[BrianG]

Another late cav shatter. trying to widen the gap

[BrianG]

massive German hasty tank attack. Mp's needed to be saved for other battles

[BrianG]

my last move north.

Now it became my last move as I then did airsupply to the forward units,
and unbeknownst to me I found out that airsupply now saps away mp's of the receiving units (btw I disagree with this new rule although understand its intent).
Thus I was not able to move the ss unit one more hex. The lead unit will be easily cut off next turn.

live and learn.

[BrianG]

final north position. Notice gap in forward thrust.

On good note I am one hex away from cutting rr to Leningrad. Bad news only one more turn of snow.

Reports poor in of troops starting to freeze to death.

[BrianG]

North Moscow final. We retreat east of VV and hope line holds further south

[BrianG]

I retreat east of Tula.

[BrianG]

Stalino final. Stalino is not connected to rr.
