And so it begins.

German Blue as in 42

[BrianG]

German offensive casualty list

[BrianG]

Down south we will counterattack

[BrianG]

We close off the river gap

[BrianG]

I do some corralling as I will attempt to relive blocked troops near Kursk.

[BrianG]

I throw in a rout

[BrianG]

A very nice retreat path for these German retreaters

[BrianG]

attack lineup to break thru to troops.

This was my first attack where the new MP rules for attacking a hex applied.

Since this was my second attack mp of 6 is not enough to join in. need 7

[BrianG]

Utter nutter!

[BrianG]

Utter nutter II

Lower attack also fails

[BrianG]

I FALL BACK. Wait that's next turn. Weather says mud ahead

final positions

[BrianG]

variable weather . some areas clear for action

[BrianG]

Don't shoot the messenger

[BrianG]

under the new beta, not .03 yet, Russian air morale gets slaughtered

[BrianG]

Near Moscow the weather is clear.

Germans take a heavy bomber licking.

Although Model holds the line as ordered

[BrianG]

I reattack and lo and behold the same German Infantry division comes to the reserve rescue.

[BrianG]

the north face of the Bulge gets attacked by NEW infantry Guards corp.

Again German airforce bears the brunt

[BrianG]

Damn the double reserve

[BrianG]

VERY large cv shift.

Maybe because we used 2000 tubes.[:)]

[BrianG]

Final Moscow.

Strategy:

I will try and cut off the Buldge while as the same time thwarting the German 1942 Offensive.

Far north he has no tanks except the Fin Tank division. Slowly he will be pushed back

Far south Crimea is a standstill. I bombed the Rumanians each turn and those russian attack planes are getting good morale and expoeriece.
They have faced no opposite air.

Stalino is firmly held. Only worry is a German breakthru nearKursk thru then big V could force major retreat if it then turns south behind the southern forces.


Mosocw. Keep slugging it and and sqeeze.


Kursk. Lots of attack tanks. It could go north and threaten to cut off my forces south of moscow to kaluga. I will stop this direction at all cost!


FIANL MOSCOW
