Middle attacks

This is where I am attacking in the middle West. I want to be on the West side of the river come spring..

Pelton will reestablish his line each time for now. I then will reattack.

its a 3 hex corridor. He plugs whole each time.

I think the retreat here is subject to the new retreat rules.

I noted the now low number as compared to before when thru a zoc. it's actually not that low for this battle.

And I lost with the First Tank.

Romitstev should hang his head in shame.

This was a grade A night attack on hq.

Someone must have left the lights on.[>:]

Brian, I have not been lucky enough to play through this far in the game as Soviet (or German). I thought once I did get there the on board artillery striking from 2 hexes off would help break the German front line, but I don't see you using any of them. Have you found them of no use?

I have 2 art and 2 rockets divisions so far at turn 85.

They have been used. They are disbursed at this time.

Not sure how many I should build nor where to keep them for attack.

I think Pelton had too many games ongoing when he did these moves. Losing concentration.

He left a fort in front line. We get closer to Leningrad

Again attacking same area. This time I routed the hq before this attack.

No support for the D team.

This was a key forest I wanted cleared with no fort.

1585 tanks 2400 guns

Another huge German defensive stand.

I don't believe Galitsky has a good armor rating. Somehow he got the lead role.

Down Crimea way I continue my build up. I am waiting for a snow turn.

I do launch a futile Inf attack on the far left unit down south. Pelton does not react.

His recon was nil during the mud and I have been hiding the tanks behind inf, hq and airbase.

His D cv is near 65 on the land bridge.

here is my preattack Crimea force. I get a snow turn.

I attack left hex with Infantry and cav only. I lose bad this turn.

I figure Pelton will send reinforcements and the whole O buildup will be a waste.[:(]

I awake to the same front. Not much changed. No clear reinforcements.

Perhaps even with recon in area the buildup remains hidden. Good question for Pelton?

I ATTTACK with inf first , then move them out then more attacks. Plus 3 airbombs.

I finally get to this battle.

Tight battle.

The lines hold.

I now expect massive reinforcement from Pelton.

I also attack the other 2 German crossing hexes to drain off supply from other locale German troops

Pre moves turn 85.

The question is.

Which hex to attack?

Guess now before the next panel....

That 8-8 German Infantry seems new to area.

721 tanks

I attack the left hex. Better chance of attacking weak rum and Hun troops with hasty tanks.
