Turn 11 Beginning of Turn

Southern Front Sea of Azoz

Losses across the board seem to have lowered "substantially". Either because of the leader changes or something in the program got switched from last turn. Will keep an eye on this in the future games. Or the Germans are just grinding too hard and not rotating their troops. Or my addition of Artillery & more Reserve activation.(Plus don't put LOW ToE and Low Morale units in reserve mode, they can route too as was seen with Bobo units in my other AAR) Could be a plethora of things but here in the south it was noted of a lot less casualties to Soviet units.

Your set is now complete. Now I can focus more on my own games. [;)]

Turn 10 Beginning of Turn

Dnep Area (Real time update)

Germans grinding but not moving units here. Hard to get across a major river with Soviets close. I am more than happy to show next time in one of my games.

I have more reserves that shown up around Stalino. I should be able to hold this area of the map now with what I see in front of me. May chance recon if I don't account for most of the German PZ/Moto.

Thank you much!

Kharkov

Reinforced this area with leadership and artillery. Much better performance and a great deal less losses.

Kursk Area

Still holding but getting pushed

Will have to scrounge units for here after I fix the Reserve front area first.

Turn 11 Beginning of Turn

Orel Area

Reserve Front just about gets blown totally away this turn. At least it feels that way. I have a few reserves for here but don't know if it is enough. Will have to see.

Tula Area

Minor attacks here compared to elsewhere. Armor still on front line.

Turn 11 Beginning of Turn

Kalinin Forest

Divisions in the Kalinin Forest been molested badly. That area needs help but can wait because of terrain.

Turn 11 Beginning of Turn

North

More local attacks.

Air Losses

Still only two bombing groups on the map. All the rest are fighters & Fighter-bombers and transports. Not ready to commit my bombers.

Turn 11

Ground Losses

As you can see the difference from last turn to this turn in loss ratio. That is substantial and I really don't believe this was because of just the leader changes and artillery addition.

OOB

Interesting

The North/South defense, highlighted in orange, is a very dangerous defense if you have nothing in the blue hex. With two 22 point MP Cav there I can get in the backfield pretty easily. But I am not close enough to a dual rail for me to chance this this turn.

There is a unit to the SE that is hidden since I tried to ZoC convert the hex SW of the 1=3 armor Division.

Lets look at the German overall stats by counter color.

First lets look at supply.

All in RED. hmmmmm. Could be the contributing factor why less casualties and I am inflicting more. That makes sense now.

You really don't want to be in the red for supply.

Turn 11 Beginning of Turn

Supply priority of the Germans. I really shouldn't be seeing this but oh well. Since it could be a tell-tell sign of things. But oh well I will use it.

Based on all of these screenshots I can determine how much of a defense I need based on this information. What did you gather from the screenshots?

I do this on every single section of the map. I am sure everyone else does the same thing.

Also when I know where all the PZ & Moto are at I don't really have to have a very deep defense when I can read this information. When you use your PZ & Moto as a threat it will put some Soviets on edge. Also there is very little to no recon now so the Germans can really play cat and mouse with their PZ's & Moto.

I`m kinda surprised that the Reds can see their opponents supply state ?

Exactly. You should not be able to see this at all in my book. I am sure someone will let us know but to be able to read all this I can really nail down what I need to do. I wouldn't let any of this to be seen for the other side really.
