Here's the losses from all the T31 fighting going on

Here's the T32 front lines before any Soviet movement: Stilll no Axis counterattacks any where.

Here's the OOB, losses, destroyed units, and production:

I usually get about 250K replacements each turn to replace the 100K I loose in combat so the winter war is going okie dokie from my point of view but I'm thinking that the Axis side is slowly decreasing in strength because he get slightly less than 250K replacements each turn. Probably more like 20K max for the Axis. But I'm guessing.

I've made it a habit at the beginning of each turn to run through the %toe of my units ( after excluding the partisans ) and setting everybody who is less than 90% toe to "refit" and everybody else goes to "rdy" or "reserve" status. According to the scroll thumb about half of my force is on refit and the other half is not.

Here's a report on my Army and Corps HQ's. I see a few problems with some HQ's having too many combat units attached to it like the 5th Airborne Corps. I'll look into that to see if I can't fix that little problemo.

We're still working on those 3 Finn divisions isolated near Lake Lodoga. I got another 233 of their men this turn. Maybe in another 5 or 6 turns we'll get 'em all.

Here's the Soviet T32 moves with an overlay showing my attacks. Still just slowly pushing the Axis back in a few places, mostly just
attacking just to cause casualties. Attrition is the name of my game.

I did a handfull of air base attacks but nothing remarkable happened. Here's the losses from all the combat lately:

Here's the T33 front lines before any Soviet movement: Note the strong resemblance to the front lines from last turn.

EDIT: KLilly made only one attack in his turn and that was an attack on a partisan. No counterattacks anywhere. Strange.

I did another attrition attack on that stack of 3 Finn divisions. Got another 380 of them.

Here's a listing of the Rifle Divisions sorted on "Guard" status.....as you can see I have quite a few of them already

Here's my T33 moves with an overlay to show my attacks. I eleminated two Finn Divisions near Lake Lodoga but other than that it was just a steady push everywhere again.

Here's the OOB, losses, destroyed units, and production for T33

I did an animation of the changes from turn 16 to turn 33. Quite a sight. Constant pushing to the west for about 17 turns now.

Great animation Larry !

As a rule of thumb, if you are Soviet, and you are threatening Minsk, Kiev, and Odessa in the winter of 41-42, your opponent is losing. Badly. Really Badly.

I don't understand how he could allow Finns to get surrounded.

Larry,

Nice touch with animation! [8D]

I'm going to start an AAR, can you please tell me what tools you used to do the animation? I'm somewhat of a graphic tools noob.

I know I guy who had a bad breakup from from a Finn as she wasn't willing to, let us say to all the way to Moscow- maybe this is the same thing.

It's increadibly easy and I think it looks pretty good in an AAR. I use MSPaint to "position" the screenshots so they "overlap" correctly saving the images as files and then I use GIFanimator to string together the two screenshots into a GIF file and then just upload the GIF file to the forum.

You can find the GIFAnimator here:

EDIT: Maybe I should post a couple of pictures to show how to use the GIFAnimator. Or at least how I use it:
