AAR trial game vs the AI

[kevini1000]

The southern wing of AGC for turn 9. The 2nd and 4th armies are swinging northward to give the rest of AGC more infantry support.

[kevini1000]

Northern part of AGS turn 9. The 14th Panzer corps is pulled back. The 6th and 17th Armies are wheeling southward. I look to have the 6th Armie on the front south of the 2nd Armie of AGC. It would also support a possible move toward possible move toward Voronezh with the 2nd Armie and the 14th Panzer corps but I need to see how the Moscow/Tula thing develops before deciding on the next move for these guys.

The Southern part of AGS for turn 9. Ok the 3rd Panzer corps still had some mps and they do some work. Voroshilovgrad is Zoced and Taganrog is taken will all factories. The 48th Panzer is recombined and hopefully will rest some. The rest of the 11th armies is on its way to the Crimea. The could possibly swing east to support a run for Rostov but only if I can Zoc and the Factories are still there.

[kevini1000]

And the Crimea area turn 9. I sort of kicked in the door but will need the rest of the 11th Armie and some Rumanians to finish the job. Rostov still has higher priority but I work on the Crimea. Overall Russian losses this turn were the lightest of all turns so far. The next 2 turns should prove interesting. I'm on the doorstep of Rostov, Moscow and Tula. I want all 3 and the factories naturally however, I'll settle for what I can get. If I run out of targets then the Russian army itself will become the target.

Turn 10 update. Party cancelled in Moscow. All the factories except 9 HI move during the Russian part of turn 9. Tula and Rostov might be Zocable. Moscow is still a target due to the Manpower and rail capacity plus if I could get the 9 HI but I'm certain that I won't. All that Planning for nothing. I came up short.

[kevini1000]

Turn 10 Leningrad isolated [8D]. I also free up the other Panzer corps of 4th Panzer Group. I'm just wondering how long to wait on the Russian units inside to weaken up.

[kevini1000]

AGC turn 10. The battle for Moscow is beginning to take shape. I should mention that Tual is Zoced with all factories [:)]

[kevini1000]

The 9th, 16th and 3rd Panzer Armies area of operations. I really need more infantry concentrations to help the 3rd Panzers

[kevini1000]

The area of the 2nd Armie and friends.

[kevini1000]

The situation in the Crimea turn 10. I rest of the 11th Armies is on its way along with 2 Rumanian corps.

Good job so far.  I probably should say that you've inspired me to try my hand at having a go against the Soviet AI myself.  I have never played the Axis side and need the practice anyway.  This game you're doing is on "normal" setting I'm guessing?  

[kevini1000]

I've learned alot that isn't in the manual. If I did it over I would manage the support units better. I now have all of my contruction units with my army groups and OKH.

[kevini1000]

And the Stalino/Rostov area. I have a Panzer division adjacent to Rostov. All Factories still there [:)]. There still a few close targets. My main goal will be to try to get them if possible and aslo to damage the Russian army as much as possible prior to Blizzard. The Russian forces around Leningrad will be destroyed while The grouping around Moscow and Moscow it self will be a target.

[kevini1000]

Unexpected surprise. I was preparing to do HQ build up, but when I could see that Voronezh could be reached then I sent the 14th Panzers due east. The bad thing is that I pull the 6th Armie infantry back not realizing that I could do it so infantry support is lacking. and btw all the factories were still there [:)]

[kevini1000]

The reduction of Leningrad will take some time. The moblie units of the 4th panzer group are moving to help with Moscow.

[kevini1000]

The northern wing of AGC. The 9th army is moving southeast and 3rd Panzer's Mobile units are pulled back for refueling.

[kevini1000]

The southern part of AGC. The 4th and 2nd armies are swinging northeast. The 2nd Panzer is all ready commited but will be pull back for rest if the situation allows. The 14th Panzer corps of the 1st Panzer army will also assist in the operation.

[kevini1000]

The 6th Armies area of operations. They are responsible for a lot of terrain but this needed for other operations.

[kevini1000]

The Rostov area. I'm having ideas about what to do next[X(]

[kevini1000]

And the Crimea
