BrianG V Sillyflower (open for discussion)

[BrianG]

2 more clear turns till MUD.

I contemplated sending in another sacrificial tank corp.
I could reach the hex just east of the Hungarian routed tank.
It would raise mp but ultimately be another lost corp.

Really I am in in very bad shape here.

He may even attempt a major surround. Seeing how things are going it might end up an easy job.

One good nuk!

[BrianG]

I punch back his forward troops and hold positions. I have 1st tank corp here waiting for Godot.[:D]

[BrianG]

Lower Volga.

Most likely I want all my tanks out of area. Maybe next turn they go for long march north

[BrianG]

german battles turn 68

[BrianG]

rescue attempt fails

quote in report to Stalin

another brutal loss. Just like your face!

ouch

[BrianG]

final Stalingrad. I retreat north to avoid major collapse with one more clear turn left.

[BrianG]

far north.


Fins take another hex.

[BrianG]

This rout had me quite peeved!

barely more than 2:1 and guard units.

[BrianG]

I went night and day bombing crazy this turn.

Here was the largest of the damage.

[BrianG]

Moscow.

The hex I attacked day before around here is now too firmly held with 3 divisions.

Thus I make attempt to dislodge german bridgehead on east side of river. I had not attacked this hex for over 6 turns.

Used my guard corps which are in area after many soak off attacks.

Here was the good attack lineup oob

[BrianG]

do the boogie!

Yes Victory, Needed as may allow the guard corp here to be reaction force after germans launch the snow /blizzard offensive.

which is a 30 tank/mech snowball.

I have no idea how to stop it.

He can go north west, north or northeast. Or 2 of the three. I am assuming he will not redeploy tank.

[BrianG]

news blackout imposed.

Heavy rains expected.

[BrianG]

mud 1 of 4
mud 2 of 4. I bomb his tank hoards north of Stalingrad.

[BrianG]

3 of 4 mud . Prepare for onslaught.

Pray for more rain.

[BrianG]

Mud 4 of 4. German tank mass awaits final orders.

So: how many turns will it take sillyflower to capture the last cities for 290 vp?

[BrianG]

sillyflower, being silly, thought vp was 260. [:'(]
"I got my 260 VPs and ended my turn, thinking that was it, but it just ended the turn like any other"

But when I push the little vp button it says he needs 290 vp? [:)]

Thus war continues. [:D]

I will post mud shots soon.

[EwaldvonKleist]

Good to hear, good fight and AAR. It would be too bad if it were be over now.

[BrianG]

atm silly has requested a redo of the first snow turn as he was playing vc 260 . He had 260 vc with the first Nov 42 snow turn and stopped in the middle and executed. He thought game would end but it went to my turn.

I think they changed the vc levels to 290 in one of the betas. Which we both upgraded too. My whole mud was playing to the vc 290 which I saw in the vc button. I go with whatever the beta forces me to play.

Thus maybe game will continue. I ok them giving him a redo of the first snow Nov 42 turn. In case anyone is listening.

[BrianG]

I , playing vc 290, set up an outer d perimeter with my best troops.
They build the best and they need rest and refit.

I hope to hold him lightly just above the middle city with the major river with main troops further north.

East of his mass I have a loose tank force to attempt ? atm. Mobile it shall be.



He can also go northwest. My line wont hold but if he gets stretched I will try and sever the tip.

[BrianG]

Bombing action. Night biplanes. Its what I got!
