This is Moscow in T50. I've advanced a very tired infantry regiment way forward of the rest of his fellows to attempt to cut off a large segment of the Soviet front line from it's supply path. I need to get some unit of some kind into Kolomna and from there I need to grab Voskresensk etc. to make it hard to supply some of his units.

I thought I'd give you a peek at what's going on near Moscow right now. I'm on round 4 of the turn and I've decided not to attack quite so much since the land shock values are not in my advantage. My land shock is 90 and his land shock is 120 which tends to disadvantage any of my attacks. I've got a couple of places where my defenders are red and therefore tired and low on supply and need to be rotated out. So I've had to break down my units into thirds so I'll have a unit to refresh while the rest of the unit defends. That's about the best I can do. Also, I've toyed with the idea of putting 1/3 of a recon unit in my stacks to give them a recon advantage. Also, a 1/3 of an armour unit for an associated reason.

This is round 1 of T51 and I've moved quite a few units but I wanted to document having managed to surround quite a few Soviet groups and seemingly having gotten into the Soviet backfield in a few places and I've got a few places that aren't holding very well, are about to break and I wanted a "before" picture to compare with what's about to happen in game terms.

This is round 1 of T52 and I've managed to force the bridge over the river near Stupino south of Moscow and the only Soviet defenders nearby are two AA units so I may be able to get a foothold over the river. I've pushed further north through the city of Kolomna. I'm also attacking the Soviet supply unit at Ryazan which if successful will give me access to the crossing there for another crossing over the river. This may be the start of the breakthrough I need to open another front for the Soviets to defend.
