FITE Chambers vs Fulkerson

[larryfulkerson]

Here's a picture of seven partisans simultaneously. Is that a record for '42?

[Da_Huge_D]

Im really enjoying your long long report. Keep it coming.
Looks like this will be going to 43? Very tough game you have guys.[;)] heavy tanks, panzerwerfers, t-34/85's...

[larryfulkerson]

Look how SLY Curt is: he's got an infantry division in a flooded marsh hex where I can't attack him on the front lines.

Here is something that should interest you guys.

Event: 275, German Transportation collapses Due To Heavy Rain Sup -5
Trigger turn: 31 (October 5th, 1941).
Effect: Supply 2- (Axis).
Value: 10.
 
Event: 283, German Supply Efficiency Increases Due To Frozen Ground
Trigger turn: 43 (November 16th, 1941).
Effect: Supply 2+ (Axis).
Value: 5.
 
I have yet to find where the Axis recovers the other 5 supply. So at the moment it appears the Axis player plays the entire scenario short five supply points from turn 31 on to the end.

If I'm wrong I would appreciate a correction.

Look at event 283,290,297 each gives a +5 supply add to the axis player, while 275 and 286 takes 10/5 supply in total there is an effect of Zero. With turn 89 the supply level has reached the old level.

So everything is fine, just the written text is wrong. But there is another mature Bug FW 190 "late" occours 100 turns earlier and even 10 turns eralier than the fw 190 "early"

iirc it ist 159/169. actually fw 190 late should be 259.

best greetings

What's hte point of that tho? You can't move through that hex either so that division is serving no function that I can see?

[larryfulkerson]

Thanks Pioneer dude.  Good catch.

What's the point of that [having a unit in an impassable hex] tho? You can't move through that hex either so that division is serving no function that I can see?

The function he is serving is that I can't attack that unit, so I can't make it move and I'll have to work around it somehow unless and until Curt moves it.

When I moved him in there the ground was frozen, and thus fair game for attack.

[SMK-at-work]

yes I figured you must have moved there when it was frozen - there's no other way to get here after all. 

I guess it gives an immovable "ZOC" on adjacent hexes that can't be driven away

30% of the turn ( T92 ) is left and this is how the Leningrad front lines look now:

Here's an abbreviated version of the Axis losses so far:

[larryfulkerson]

Checking the Expected Reinforcements I found out that I'm going to be losing some of my combat troops in turn 93:

Kamikaze those tanks...now.

[Da_Huge_D]

Yeah. But i quess that SS Das Reich will come back soon? I dont know if 10 pz div are too?

[larryfulkerson]

It looks like Curt has an offensive planned in the extreme south of the front lines. Look at all the hardware lined up there.

[larryfulkerson]

I realize it's still early in '42 and everything but it just seems to me that the Soviet air superiority is growing by leaps and bounds. Pretty soon I'll have to pull all my air assets back to Berlin so they can play a roll late in the war.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's a section of the front lines near Leningrad early in turn 94. I may have to wait until winter of '42 before I can do anything about this one Soviet dude in the flooded marsh hex. I can't attack him until I'm able to move into the hex.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's an abbreviated list of the Axis losses so far. I don't remember ever having that many Heavy Rifle Squads assigned.

[Da_Huge_D]

Fulkerson, could you post some pictures at all along other fronts?
Im interested about situation.

[larryfulkerson]

Here's the front lines from Leningrad to Kalinin:
