Directive 21

[cpt flam]

in the center
a fierce battle leave us with Smolensk in our hands
supply will improve greatly

[cpt flam]

same luck in the south
Kiev is invested
beginning the move toward Z town

[cpt flam]

preparing to assault Odessa
same time will try to bypass it with other units

[cpt flam]

change in initiative
in the north
the beach head has been repulsed
i will need infantry to fight Security unit next to Totenkopf division

[cpt flam]

far south
Odessa is cut from the front
there is a supply source to take
the stack with a big INF (12) will be isolated before fighting

[cpt flam]

in the north of Leningrad, advance is light for heavy losses
some divisions needed to be breakdown to cover the front (at start)

[cpt flam]

here we are at the junction of AGN and AGC
the 32 ID is located in Velikye Luki
as soon as you kill an Army, you find another
i can't as Larry send small units as raiders, otherwise answer is smashing[&o]

[cpt flam]

in the south
Odessa is isolated
Nikolaev seems empty, we will see soon
time to attack the stack which i pointed before
Larry did you find a way to go on the supply dump in front of the city?

actually playing turn 20, i will try to put 18 this afternoon

[larryfulkerson]

Larry did you find a way to go on the supply dump in front of the city?

No I never did find a way to neutralize that supply dump in the water. My riverine unit(s)
won't sail out there in the deep water. I used to have a DD that could have done that for
us but it got sank somehow and I don't remember when or how it was sunk.

Keep going you're doing great.

[cpt flam]

in the north
93 ID arrived to take care of the Security unit
just got 96 ID as reinforcement by taking the place
it was available from turn 12

[cpt flam]

center
this poor HQ has been pursued by an infantry division
a lot of fight in sight, seeing the units near Vyazma

[cpt flam]

Odessa supply dump is taken
some more cleaning to do
head of the spear head is Wiking, 25 & 60 Motorized division

[cpt flam]

in the north
I need an Infantry to attack the stack of HQ near 26 Korp
security unit has been removed
the turn has been light, proficiency check failed after first set of action

[cpt flam]

in center
you can see the number of attacks by communists, this was heavy
some units are actually reorganizing
situation is foolish

[cpt flam]

south
last cleaning will be done at Odessa
3rd Rumanian Army is traveling toward Perekop Isthmus

[cpt flam]

in the north
Oktyabr Revolt has been sunk by Ju 87 with some losses
front is a bit confuse
Totenkopf is leading the advance (or block up)

[cpt flam]

center
same thing that before, small advance for big counter attacks
the stack near my panzer contain 2 DI & 1 ART
some more are isolated a bit south
I will try to leave an engineer on soviet supply in front of Odessa

i'm ready to begin turn 22

[cpt flam]

bad news
I will have to make a second try, i learn some tricks
i did not killed enough units and Elmer attack around Vyazma-Bryansk with up to 8 divisions against one
turn 23 most of my units have 5 to 8 MP for ID
i was not aware about the loss of supply beginning in September
you must take in account Elmer level of aggressiveness
there was many change in initiative, perhaps due to number of Tanks units (Russia) many brigade as reinforcement

[gwgardner]

Thanks for the AAR, it was interesting. Looks like a tough scenario.

[cpt flam]

thanks for your reply.
The advantage is the progression of OOB
First turn , only the 3 army groups. Second you receive Slovak units. Then some Hungarian. On turn 4, last Hungarian, Rumanian and 11 Army.
Turn 6, Karelian front awake.
Turn 12, lasts Finnish units join the struggle.
I omitted the 2 small German corps in the far north
