And the T83 state of Soviet Production:

Kevin has a good push going on the far north end of the front lines. Here's the T85 front lines before any Soviet movement:

You have no numerical advantage in tanks, a very bad sign.

You may want to try hold back your tanks for awhile, let him tank panzer losses by grinding themselves on your infantry while the armor trains up.

Yeah, I lost a lot of tank factories and lots more tanks were killed between start and here and now I've no advantage to speak of
in terms of AFV's. I may be able to build some tank Corps though and put what tanks I do have to work somehow or other. I've
blasted the entire Axis far southwest front line segment away so I may be able to curve around to the northeast and get behind
the more northern tending Axis units and goble some of them up eventually. Here's the T87 front lines AFTER Soviet movement:

Here's the breakthrough spot in the far south in T88 after recon and soviet movement:

Larry,

Your breakout in the South looks fantastic. Congratulations!! How is supply down there? Can you use the rail lines from Sevastopol or some other ports to supply your army?

Thank you

Bill

Nice job Larry [:D]

Is it possible that we're being a little over-optimistic here? I see a spot through a swamp and few if any resources to exploit this. Meanwhile it look as though more guards units are being gobbled up elsewhere.

Also, regading tank assets, remember that you can attach independent tank units as SU to your corps. You have a surplus of T-34s sitting in a warehouse, so you might as well use some of them.

You have 3,300 tanks currently in your OOB, but nearly 15,000 sitting in the pool. I would figure out a way to get more of those into action.

*Build Tank Regts
*Build Tank Corps

But I would start with Tank Regiments.

That's a really great idea......thanks muchly.

I'm working on it even as we speak.

I'll see if I can't post a screenshot relating to the logistical supply lines. I'm pretty sure the rail from Sevastapol headed north is okie dokie but I'll check to make sure and post a remark about it.

You don't have any rail from Sevastopol or anywhere else down there because of the bizarre way in which rail works in this game. Because you don't have a direct rail link to Ekaterinburg (or whereever), you don't have rail, period. This will hamper not only supply, but your ability to move troops to reinforce this breakthrough.

Curses.........foiled again !!!! Thanks for the info.
