Hot off the press.
Middle final with D #'s and fort levels.
He will need to slog thru to go straight north.

I don't understand why you're running around with single cavalry divisions instead of integrating them into corps.

- been busy making infantry corp.
Plus if cav corp upgrades in feb 43 to tank 70 I will be in very severe truck shortage
- Also, I had merged a number of cav in the past few months plus I had many return from the kill pile.
And many were guard cav and they get priority for replacements.
-Most cav div are not in far north so maybe it just looks like more than normal.
On the flip side they only cost 5 ap to merge once 1943 arrives.

Sorry, you lost me there. They only ever cost 5 to merge.
In all honesty if you hadn't committed a number of tank corps in suicidal supply raids, you might have the trucks to be in a much better position now offensively.

Oh I thought they cost 10 1942 and earlier. I must be punch drunk.
And yes i've used the suicide tank tactic.[:-] I may have invented the move[;)]

whats interesting to me is I think based on the map I'm looking at the Germans are about done. So the soviets lost pretty much everything of importance and will now be able to start clawing back lol. Now I doubt the Soviets can "win" but the fact they didnt lose and most likely wont is interesting.
Because as the soviets lose all the south they dont have to worry about defending it effectively shortening their lines and making the north unbreakable by the Germans lol.

Getting into forest territory with tanks wont help him.
Although He does have those ss tank divisions arriving and I mean real soon.
And Snow will also greatly increase his mobility versus the blizzard slog.
He still has the initiative.

Silly corrals my forward tanks onto rough hex detached from main force.
Will they survive? or have I sacrificed more tank corp.
A German tank division arrives to help. Are more on the way?

more counterattack
Here on 1 mot experienced divisions thru a zoc retreat.
Where are the losses. These high experience German troops run away too fast and easy and thus avoid casualties.

I will try and hold here on the edge of the forest swamp.
To do so I must attack germans when on clear terrain.
Here is the attack lineup

To rescue my trapped tank corp I had 2 choices.
1: attack the mountain hex but retreat might double up key german in the way.
2: or sneak in 2 cav corps and a cv5 tank corp and direct attack the blocking german.
# 2 wins and tanks are free for one more turn.
I then move out the attached support units from trapped tanks to save them from having to be rebuilt.
I also rout a inf hq in this attack
