BrianG v. HYLA (no hard luck)

[BrianG]

April grind begins

Here a heavy attack. I even had the aircorp in support.

[BrianG]

Near Tula

I forget to take unit off reserve and they are thrust into the action

[BrianG]

final south

no way to overcome the distance between the front lines to do any damage.

[BrianG]

Kursk final I push northeast of Kursk as best as infantry can attack

[BrianG]

final Orel

I stay in place where I am dug in leaving open space in the clear hexes.

[BrianG]

final north

I did not use all my armor this past turn.

[BrianG]

Mud returns

I still launch a 6 sided attack upon surrounded Stalino

[BrianG]

German Air plane production

[BrianG]

Top Secret report:

All German armor positions end of April 42.

Spread out. Russian recon has been light the past 2 months. Not sure HYLA knows how disbursed I am.

[BrianG]

air assets update

also oob is about 3.8 german. Russian 5.8

[BrianG]

final last April turn.

next turn the yellow area is clear. I will attack with my tanks . I expect a retreat first.

[BrianG]

Final north positions

next turn is mud in both north zone.

The stage is almost set......

Will you focus on just taking Leningrad for the summer or will you go for two objectives eg: one is Leningrad and the other one is in the south? How are losses looking?

I am ok on kills. My fighter fatigue will be issue as I fear very heavy Russian air war. I

Yes I will try for Leningrad. Depending upon how long that takes (if even possible), I will do something far south as I must get Rostov asap.
If another opportunity shows itself I can switch but movement of tanks and assets means only one offensive besides Leningrad.

[BrianG]

I spot Russian recon and attack. Bad move. No wonder my attacking air bases is down to 3 per year.

[BrianG]

as I attack south I run into a double reserve activation scout

[BrianG]

still I capture a few brigades. hopefully trapped

[BrianG]

orel area final.

[BrianG]

final north

Raise THE CURTAIN

I train in another Infantry corp and 2 or 3 more armor/mech divisions

[Crackaces]

One worry I would have at this point is that the Soviets have enough manpower to create corps while still having enough stuff to cover hexes. My intuition is that the Soviets are about to get strong rather quickly and move toward Red Army 2.0 sooner than later. I watch this AAR with much anticipation.
