No attacks. Oloren has informed us that he will probably need about 1 month to be able to mount a chanceable attack on our line. We will take that month with gratitude. Only 14 more to go after that! (see below [:D])

Axis : 13.000 troops, 221 guns, 31 AFVs, 7 AC.

Turn 158

Overall
Well the USSR has started their bid for Berlin. The line held against the 3 attacks made, but one of the attacks reduced the fort level. Not good.
But then again, far better than the Finnish situation, where the USSR made 7 attacks, scoring 4 helds, 2 retreats and 1 surrender (did not have enough points last turn to disband a Finnish fortified zone).

Losses
USSR : 97.000 troops, 1.359 guns, 407 AFVs, 540 AC.
Axis : 19.000 troops, 308 guns, 62 AFVs, 20 AC (16 recons).

Units disbanded
9 Finnish fortified zones

Units built
7 fortified zones

Well, lucky for my pilots, I do not have alot of manpower to waste [:D]

realy deepest respect for you that you are still in the game.

this picture above remembers me of the fort scene of starship troopers where a few marines are surrounded by a million bugs or so.[;)]

you still have a X defensive CV in the hex so he may need additional 2-3 turns to knock this hex down. by then maybe the hex NW of the attacked one will reach level 4.

Turn 159

Overall
Nothing major, a small retreat in Finland, the USSR finally take Salzburg, and the allready reduced fort is reduced once more down to 2. Last turn we sent some more planes to our airfields, and due to this, the number of flown missions increase, with the following increase in aerial losses.
9 USSR attacks result in 7 helds, all on the Oder-Line, 1 retreat in Finland and 1 surrender at Salzburg.

Losses
USSR : 102.000 troops, 1.552 guns, 481 AFVs, 694 AC.
Axis : 34.000 troops, 489 guns, 119 AFVs, 73 AC.

Units disbanded
5 fortified zones. These are at the line BEHIND the Oder-Line, where fort levels are now at 4 in some (5 ) places.

Units built
3 fortified zones.

Overall
Although the numbers looked good on paper, the result of the single retreat the USSR caused was...hmm was going for disatrous, but it really was not. It just made my turn take even shorter to process [:D] (see below).
18 USSR attacks result in 1 retreat and 17 helds. The corner of the Oder-Line is now at 0 fort level, so we will be pushed back from that hex next turn.

Losses
USSR : 137.000 troops, 2.449 guns, 683 AFVs, 963 AC.
Axis : 34.000 troops, 742 guns, 210 AFVs, 27 AC.

Overall
The USSR uses their overwhelming forces and breaks our line in two locations. This is a sloght concern, but it was expected. I think things will start to escalate rather quickly now.
15 USSR attacks resulted in 13 helds and 2 retreats.

Losses
Casualties report messed up this turn, and too tired to add all battles together atm.

Overall
The enemy keep banging their head on our line. This turn all 14 attacks resulted in helds, although 6 of our forts were reduced (3 from 4 to 3, and 3 from 3 to 2).
Der Führer has promised us that our scientists are developing some new WonderWeapons that will change the outcome of the war. We hope these will be available soon!

Losses
USSR : 115.000 troops, 1.713 guns, 559 AFVs, 833 AC.

Nah, hear people complain about it, yet I usually do far better in this one than the other T10s. Takes some getting used to but a nice tank.

Turn 163

Overall
Same old same old, the USSR heeds Stalins words in that numbers hold a quality of their own. So far however, technological quality outperforms numerically quality 8 : 1. The USSR launch 18 attacks, scoring 16 helds and 2 retreats. This turn the only fort reductions were from the retreats. So for now we are doing fine, although we are slowly being grinded down.

Losses
USSR : 117.000 troops, 1.763 guns, 528 AFVs, 841 AC.
Germany : 46.000 troops, 944 guns, 310 AFVs, 33 AC.

do u have your tiger bats attached to corps or ss divs?

do u have 10 airplanes units on each airfield ? - if not disband and make 10 units per airfield

clearly massive counter attacks are now your only chance. Suprise will certainly be on your side

If only more players had your tenacity................
