sveint (Axis) vs Manstein63 (Sov) - Axis PoV

AGS

Not quite a pocket yet. There is nothing at all to the east.

If you can close that Kiev pocket, that will bag a nice bunch of Soviets.

What does the OOB look like?

Turn 10, 8/21/1941

Sorry forgot to get the OOB. The Soviets retreat on all fronts. We try to seal the Kiev pocket.

Nice pocket! It's probably going to get broken there by Sumy where the brigade is. You should have no problem reclosing it next turn.

The Soviets take a step back. We reduce pockets and pursue. Things are looking good, we are keeping up pressure on Leningrad and Moscow and advancing in the south.

Really interested to see how this turns out -- do you reckon Leningrad will fall or not?

I'm really not sure how this will turn out. It's very hard to judge Mandstein63 - sometimes he will retreat very early, sometimes very late.

Turn 13, 9/11/1941

OOB before I forget:

[sveint]

Soviet counter-attack south of Leningrad

[sveint]

AGN

The counter-attack stalls our offensive, but at the same time the approaches to Leningrad are left open. Not sure how we are going to proceed here now.

AGC, Moscow

We are making surprisingly good progress towards Moscow. It might be worth an attempt.
