Turn 7
Conclusion
14ish units in pockets, lots of places that my units can be attacked this turn and am expecting it. BUT I also welcome it in the North where I am strong. Will see what comes our way.

" Anyway here is the South picture beginning of the turn. You can see the Soviets ran to the Crimea and right in line with my plans. Nothing my "MAIN MAN" can't handle

. Now who is the "MAN"???? ;-P "
You got two SS Regts sitting or had sitting behind a 4th Army ArmeeKorps your either referring to them or your redeploying SS Das Reich Div from north to south, to which you will attach said SS Regts to the division, just my guess.
regards

Turn 8
Soviets attack in force. Of 9 (the one loss by the soviets was followed up with another attack so really 8 battle hexes) battles that "matter" 8 of the attacks succeed.
South attack with interdiction to boot (what happens when I flew only a 4 plane AS)

Turn 8
We take our lumps this time from the Rgmts and will just present DIV's for now on unless I absolutely have to use RGMTs. I also fix the stupid AS problem of 4 plane group with full 40 plane.
Set up AS and GS for the Leningrad area. Now that many units attacked up here it makes my life even easier. I am on the prowl to reclose the pocket and continue my PAC MAN gaining of HIWI's.
