You seem to be doing ok.
Nice squeeze West of Poltava. I would be doing more of this, his flanks are loose.

It may look so but the opposite is true. I am loosing to many troops. OOB is around 4-4.2M.
Yes his flank security is nearly non-existent but I failed miserably to exploit it. [:(]
We are currently on T14 and few more disasters did happen. I am really afraid what I will see on T14.

Turn 9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941

Factories evacuated:
Stalino 20 Arms 5 Vehicles
Moscow 4 IL-4

Unfortunately I was short few RR capacity points to get the whole Stalino armaments out at once.

North
Grinding continues but I underestimated the digging capacity. Leningrad is lost case.

Turn 9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941

Center
Small Axis gains, Smolensk abandoned.

Turn 9 - 14.8.-20.8.1941

South
Another pocket, this one was really unexpected. Southern sector is close to collapse. Dnepropetrovsk abandoned as I can't afford to loose any more divisions. At least I was lucky with weather and next week will be mud.

Don't bank on the next turn actually being mud. I my game against Michael T that report said that ifwas supposed to be a mud turn in the Leningrad sector, but when we had the turn it was actually clear instead of mud. Remember it is only a forcast and forcasts can be wrong.

I know, the chance is if I recall 75%. But we are on T14 so I know the forecast has been correct. [:)]

Absolutely love the map you are using! [8D]

Turn 10 - 21.8.-27.8.1941

Factories evacuated:
Tula 20 Arms
Kramatorskaya 3 Arms
Taganrog 1xLaGG-3 '11


North
Forecast was accurate with the mud in central weather zone.

Turn 10 - 21.8.-27.8.1941

Center
Mud in the central zone affected also operations in front of Moscow so luckily no ugly surprise here.

Turn 10 - 21.8.-27.8.1941

South
I have abandoned Odessa, units are needed elsewhere.
Mud saved the day in the south!

Turn 11 - 28.8.-3.9.1941

Factories evacuated:
Kaluga 7 Arms
Stalino 5 HI
Makeevka 3 Arms
Gorlovka 3 Arms

North
I was once again surprised by the Panzers. With the clear weather back my line was broken and I lost Shliselburg. This early it means there is no hope for Leningrad. [:(]

Turn 11 - 28.8.-3.9.1941

Center
Germans advanced little bit just to reach my lines. West of Tula, Panzers made little bridgehead across Oka but I've been able to seal this small breach.

Turn 11 - 28.8.-3.9.1941

South
The pocket has been cleared in one turn and immediately followed new catastrophe. 2 complete Armies were encircled. This time I fought back. Around half of the 1. Panzer Gruppe is isolated and/or their supply lines are contest with ZOC. If it will not work the South Front will collapse.

Would you happen to know if I can switch to this map in the middle of a game without impacting it? Or do both sides have to install it at the beginning to work?NAL: Twigster

I am interested in the answer to that one myself!

Yes you can switch to the modded map whenever you want. It doesn't have any impact on ongoing game.

Turn 12 - 4.9.-10.9.1941

Factories evacuated:
Tula 5 Arms
Kaluga 2 HI
Stalino 9 Arms
Gorlovka 3 HI

North
4. Panzer Gruppe at shores of Neva. The key hex still only with level 2 fort and I forgot to fortify Osinovets. [:(]

Turn 12 - 4.9.-10.9.1941

Center
This turn I was again lucky with mud in north weather zone. Unfortunately I don't have strength to destroy that 2 IDs surrounded in previous week. At least they will suffer from attrition and morale hit.

Turn 12 - 4.9.-10.9.1941

South
Zaporozhye pocket reopened once again. I took the risk only because forecast for next week in south is mud. I have been probably very lucky with mud 3 weeks in a row.
