OB Turn 29

Oh My God I need to stop attacking , not even 600 Pz ' operational, I am wrecking them.

I need to try to get some out and into the reserve to refit, problem is I don't want to give to much ground in order to do this.

AG North Turn 30

11th Jan the Russians continue to put pressure on the Volkhov Line, 4th Pz holds.

Despite the bad weather Models 18th Armee continues to keep the pressure on the defenders at Leningrad.

At the junction between the port city and the fortress of Osinovets the Russians leave only one division to cover the ground.

I launch a attack and a breakthrough is achieved, there now appears to be a real chance to capture the city before March.

This will be a huge price for The Ostheer if it can be taken.

AG Centre Turn 30

The entire font line is under heavy and sustained attack even with reinforcements arriving it seems hard to hold ground.

Little by little I am being pushed back, my Pz's are taking a terrible beating but simply cant pull them out.

The whole front would collapse.

AG South Turn 30

Here to constant attacks by The Red Army cause heavy losses.

1st Pz and 17th Armee's are just hanging, there is just to many and they seem to be able to launch unlimited attacks.

I have fallen back in the Taman Peninsula to better defensive positions.

Supply Turn 30

The Army supply situation worsens. however in twist the Luftwaffe is doing fine.

Still cant figure out what I am doing wrong.

Aside from the first winter penalty in place I thought it might be better since I have some good rail links running now.

A slight up wood improvement in area of repair to AFV's .

Still one million behind in fielded manpower

There stocks of Artillery have jumped past us now.

And of course they greatly outnumber us in planes.

AG North Turn 31

While the Russians launched a series of attacks against our positions, forcing back some troops.

Success in the Leningrad perimeter, with attacks going in we pushed aside Russian forces and have now completely cut the city off.

There is now a real chance I get 4th Pz Armee out of the line much earlier than I expected.

More heavy fighting around Kaluga and Orel, my forces just holding onto both cities.

9th Armee is being forced back also, I am not certain how long the line will hold.

Reinforcements from the West continue to arrive, I still don't know if that will be enough.

AG South Turn 31

Heavy fighting continues around " The Sea Of Azov " sector as 17th strives to hold ground.

1st Pz is also taking a beating but still holds Stalino.

The 6th and 2nd Armee's sector are relatively quiet at this time.

Still no improvement and now supply situation for the Luftwaffe has gone back in the red.


Some of the individual Armee's seem to be OK but over all its bad.

Big Losses for the Red Air Force but we also took some high losses.

I guess invading Russia was not going easy.

No real improvement on the over all numbers.

Just need to hold to the summer then launch encirclement attacks and then whittle there forces down.

The fight for Central Russia is bloody, attack and counterattack, I am determined that if the AI wants territory it have to force ably push me out.

I am committed if pull back it could be a route.

The line holds in the South for now, we did lose Taganrod but Stalino is still ours, units are low on manpower and everything else.

Hiwis have been pouring into units to prop them up, but I need supplies and ammunition.

Seems the supply convoys have gotten lost somewhere, maybe took a wrong turn and are heading to Budapest.

The Russians took some heavy losses but I did not get off lightly either, another big loss of AFV's.

Managed to get 1 Pz Division into the reserve, hoping to get 1 more in the next weeks.
