GC41 - Saper222 (Ger) vs Kamil (Sov) (No Saper222)

[KamilS]

T57 center (German)


Unpleasant surprise - Infantry Corps and 2 divisions are encircled.

[KamilS]

T57 south (German)


Isolated units were destroyed (9k - inf div and tank brig) and 4 more were surrounded.


Saper keeps applying pressure. River Don was crossed near Rostov and I won't be able to push him back or contain advancing panzers.

[KamilS]

T57 far south (German)


I am surprised by German mobility once again. My positions are outflanked so another withdrawal will be necessary.

[KamilS]

T57 center (Soviet)


Extremely successful counter-attacks near Moscow.

[KamilS]

T57 south (Soviet)


Pocket was reopened and withdrawal continues.

[KamilS]

T57 far south (Soviet)


More and more ground given. A bit historic.

Nice defense of Moscow. Meanwhile Stalingrad beckons. Will Saper be able to resist?

[sillyflower]

and you are using your corps to chew up his mobile forces at an impressive rate which he can't sustain - and that's without knowing what he's losing in his turn.

Since Saper abandoned concept of attacking with all panzers in one place I can counter-attack without compromising my defenses.

[KamilS]

T58 north (German)


I need to do something in far north otherwise it might get messy there.

[KamilS]

T58 center (German)


Stable situation here.

[KamilS]

T58 south (German)


I think Saper will not push towards Stalingrad. Readjustments will be necessary.

[KamilS]

T58 far south (German)


Another prove of my stupidity.


Losing Novorossiysk cut off sea contact with Sevastopol (I forgot about port rules) and doomed my troops in Crimea - 9 infantry division plus 1 tank brigade - 84k soldiers.

Bad, bad, bad ...

[bigbaba]

arg, it's realy time for mud.[X(] i realy hope you can hold moscow. i would say that's the difference between a lost game and a russian offensive in the next year. after all there are around 160 manpower centers around moscow.

[KamilS]

T58 far north (Soviet)


I reinforced area a bit, but I fear it might not be enough.

[KamilS]

T58 center (Soviet)


Battle for Moscow continues. This turn was very very good.

[KamilS]

T58 south (Soviet)


I abandoned upper Don bulge plus stretched front in Tambov area to reinforced my lines further south.


Near Rostov I managed to reestablish contact with encircled units. Crucial factor was air-base providing air-head supply to my encircled divisions.

[KamilS]

T58 far south (Soviet)


I am waiting.

Amphibious assault on Novorossiysk was obviously unsuccessful.

[Peltonx]

The Finnish attack is just what you want. They be worthless after 4 to 6 turns of combat.

You Moscow defences look good. GHC can take it IF they set up 1 infantry army the right way, but if they don't I beleive you can hold it for now.

The south is the key, I like how you have stuff set-up and are sucking him into the deep south. GHC just plain cant hold a front that long.

Game is still up for grabs.

Fins are getting more and more active.
