last snow turn March 42. Here is my open dilemma.

Comment: With all this action by the Germans in March 42 I would hope that wear and tear rule apply with force.

How I can tell is not known. Maybe Sillyflower kept track of his tank attrition.

I launch a pincer counterattack to cut off Silly's armor spearpoint.

I intend to attack cut off units in mud and, even knowing I won't win, I should be able to drain tank units
of about 10 tanks a turn.

Well that's the plan.

I attack a second panzer hex reducing the cut off area.

I also send cav and tank units from west to try and squeeze supply line further north near Rostov

I am 1 hex short of decent pressure on line but fall short

I recapture Voroshilvov.

and get closer to Moscow

Lower level is clear in April 42 not mud.

That is all.

Dismissed!

Good luck. You need a miracle to survive.

In november your losses in men were large but not catastrophic, how did your losses get so enormous?

Silly breaks pocket during first mud turn.

So much for my pincer attack[:@]

final positions south

5 German attacks in mud. No problems.

final south positions .

End of April mud.

Next turn is clear and the onslaught.

I intend to hold the mountain pass for future harassment of flanks if German attempts deep thrust into Cacuacus

other view south. I hold line with second tier units and retreat south to line which I think cant be reached

Rostov final

I am 1 hex from pressure on the rr supply line heading south

final Moscow before onslaught.

I have been trying to account for all German motorized divisions.

Not sure what the total is but I think I see around 28 or 29 of them.

Mission: cut off rr supply to German units south of Rostov

Here is one of the early attacks to do so.

Here is attack south of river. Since I am unsure which will work I attack both sides of the river.


If you notice above the river , I did a second attack (not shown which caused 2 german unit to retreat in a split wide.

Which leads to the next panel

Well here is a second south attack. It seems to work opening a open hex next to Rostov south of the river.

I have 2 tank corp waiting to exploit.

Here is the north possibility because of the retreat split. Germans had very little depth in area.

Success. Long supply line ahead for German tanks units deep past Rostov.

And next turn is MUD. this is a classic wear and tear turn.

But, have the new morale based attrition rules gone to far and thus will result in little German damage.

Almost a total cutoff.

Unfortunately his taking the Kerch peninsula has open up a closer supply line to units near there.
